GRUMBLING Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters bandmates are walking on eggshells after the frontman shockingly sacked drummer Josh Freese, who had stepped in after the tragic 2022 death of the Everlong singer’s close pal Taylor Hawkins, sources say. Grohl, 56, is still deeply shaken by percussionist Hawkins’ drug-induced cardio-vascular collapse at age 50, and the void has left him a power-mad dictator in the group — with few friends among the remaining members, according to tipsters. “Dave continues to be his own worst enemy when it comes to plotting the future of the Foo Fighters — and even when it comes to managing his own already tarnished image,” the insider exclusively tells GLOBE. Sources say Grohl’s aggressive actions hit a fever pitch last year after he was exposed as a two-timing…
