Notably, as Rubin joins the Foos, THR has learned that Freese will return to Nine Inch Nails, which a rep for the band has confirmed. The band subsequently shared a picture of Freese and tagged the drummer in an Instagram story, writing “let’s fucking go.” ( Freese has since commented .)

The Foo Fighters have tapped drummer Ilan Rubin to take over for Josh Freese. The former Nine Inch Nails drummer's new job was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter and later Variety on Wednesday, July 30. He is taking over for Freese, whose new job will be drumming for NIN.
