Foo Fighters have been teasing something to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1995 self-titled debut album, sharing a cover of Minor Threat’s “I Don’t Wanna Hear It” earlier this week, and now they’ve shared a new single. “Today’s Song” is their first new music since their 2023 album But Here We Are, and a press release calls it “the opening salvo of its next chapter.” Hear it below.
Dave Grohl posted a note to fans along with the song. It reads, in part:
Over the years, we’ve had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak. Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat. We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can’t go it alone.
It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.
And… Taylor. Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever. The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.

Not mentioned in Grohl’s note is who will replace Josh Freese as drummer. Freese had been playing with them since their 2022 shows in London and Los Angeles in 2022, and said he was “booted” from the band earlier this year.
Last year, Grohl issued a statement on a baby “born outside of my marriage.” Foo Fighters’ upcoming shows, which happen in October in Asia and November in Mexico City, will also be their first since that statement. See all dates below.
