The lyrics for \"Rescued\" appeared to be about Hawkins' death, while subsequently released songs \"Under You,\" \"Show Me How\" and the 10-minute \"The Teacher\" also reflected feelings of grief.

As the Foos continued to announce more concerts and the release date for \"But Here We Are\" drew closer, questions remained about who would be taking Hawkins' place behind the kit. Ahead of their first scheduled show in May, Foo Fighters held a streaming concert which appeared to reveal Josh Freese, who previously played with bands including Nine Inch Nails, Guns N' Roses, A Perfect Circle and The Offspring, as their new drummer.

During the stream, a conversation between Freese and Grohl suggested that the frontman handled drumming duties on \"But Here We Are.\"

Foo Fighters' tour continues Friday in Germany and returns to the U.S. June 14 in Rogers, Arkansas.

Here's the \"But Here We Are\" track list:
