Last month the band embarked on their first tour since Hawkin’s shocking death and last week they released their emotional But Here We Are album, which is dedicated to the drummer.

Hawkins, 50, was found dead last year in his luxury hotel room from a ‘cardiovascular collapse’ induced by a drug binge while the band were touring in Columbia.

The Food Fighters unveiled their new drummer, Josh Freese in May this year.

The 50-year-old drummer had previously played at tribute concerts for Hawkins and has toured with the likes of Sting and Guns N’ Roses – who will also headline The Pyramid stage on Saturday.

Speculation has been ciculating among fans on who The Churnups are and which band was going to fill the infamous ‘secret slot’ on Glastonbury’s The Pyramid stage.

The flames of a Foo Fighter appearance were ignited when Grohl, 53, teased fans with a message that mentioned ‘churning up’ emotions.

Grohl shared on social media a heartfelt letter last month thanking fans thanking them for their support on their tour and for ‘churning up these emotions together’ on stage.

The Pyramid stage has played host to artists including The Rolling Stones, Jay-Z, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash and Oasis.

Alternative contenders for The Churnup’s set were Pulp, who recently started their 2023 reunion tour, and Blur – but neither was the winning guess.

However, a poster spotted at Glastonbury has hinted Damon Albarn’s band could also make an appearance at the festival.

The poster reportedly reads, ‘Arctic Monkeys will go by in a Blur…’ fuelling speculation Albarn will either make a guest appearance or replace the Arctic Monkeys, as it’s believed they may pull out.

The lead singer Alex Turner has been struck down with acute laryngitis, an inflammation of the voice box, which caused the band to cancel their Dublin gig two days ago at the last minute.
