Foo Fighters marked the band’s 30th anniversary with the release of “Today’s Song,” the group’s first new song since the 2023 album But Here We Are.

The new song, described in a press release as the band’s “opening salvo of its next chapter,” arrives 30 years since the release of Foo Fighters self-titled debut album. In a lengthy note to accompany the release, Grohl pays tribute to former band members including recently fired drummer Josh Freese, founding drummer William Goldsmith, guitarist Franz Stahl and of course the late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died in 2022.

The band’s current line-up includes Grohl (vocals and guitar), Rami Jaffee (keyboard), Nate Mendel (bass), Chris Shiflett (guitar) and Pat Smear (guitar). A new drummer has not been announced, but it appears that Grohl plays drums on the new track.

A portion of the letter reads: “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.”
