A few days back, the Foo Fighters revealed that they were about to re-emerge after the death of Taylor Hawkins. Three Taylor-less festival appearances have been announced.

There’s no indication of who will keep time for the band. Who do you think would be worthy of the gig?

I imagine it will be Josh Freese or Rufus Taylor – I’m guessing Freese given that he is similar in age and has an amazing drummer CV. They both did a great job in the tribute shows.
