United Kingdom, May 4 -- Queen star Roger Taylor has revealed why Dave Grohl didn't recruit his drummer son Rufus Taylor for the Foo Fighters.

Grohl had to search for a replacement drummer for his band after tragedy struck in 2022 when longtime percussionist Taylor Hawkins died at the age of 50, and many suggested Taylor's Godson Rufus - who plays in The Darkness - would have been the perfect fit but Grohl opted for Josh Freese instead. Now Roger has revealed he thinks Rufus didn't get the job because Grohl didn't want to poach him from The Darkness.

Roger told The Telegraph newspaper: "We all [thought Rufus would get the Foo Fighters job]. He would have been a great replacement but I don't think Dave wanted to break up The Darkness." ...
