JAKARTA - A big gaping hole as Foo Fighters had to lose Taylor Hawkins. The charismatic drummer died tragically in the middle of the Seattle-based US band tour.

Taylor is more than just a tempo controller and rhythm in the band. His presence on stage brings energy that completes the Foo Fighters stage action in its entirety.

But life and careers continue. Dave Grohl finally announced the figure who was deemed to be able to fill the void perfectly. And that figure is named Josh Freese.

Inevitably, Josh has been part of the band that owns this 'Everlong' hit. On a one-year anniversary with Foo Fighters, Josh Freese wrote a touching message.

"Today a year ago, this video aired and I stopped being silent about what was called the "worst secret in the music business" at the time (even though I think we have done a pretty good job.) @foofighters released a special one-hour event where we played several songs during training," Josh wrote on his Instagram page, May 21.

"Here are 3 clips of the first song. I like the results and I'm proud of them. I joke that all we need is "All My Life" and then go on (because it's so good). Even so, I keep missing Taylor, as well as his band, his family, his friends, and the whole world."

Josh Freese feels proud to be Taylor's successor, helping Foo Fighters keep going forward. He will continue all of this because they both love music.

"We also keep trying and taking advantage of this situation as well as possible by moving forward and doing what we love... playing music, respecting Taylor and staying positive. " concluded the drummer Foo Fighters.
