Taylor Hawkins' son Shane Hawkins has dispelled rumours he's replacing Josh Freese in Foo Fighters.

The 52-year-old drummer joined the 'Best of You' rockers in 2023 following the death of Taylor the previous year.

He was let go over the weekend with "no reason" given.

Rumours were rife that Shane would be stepping behind the kit for Dave Grohl and co, however, he's actually about to embark on a tour with his late father's covers band, Chevy Metal, in July.
