Ferrer has served the band since 2006
Guns N’ Roses announce the amicable exit of Frank Ferrer, the longest-serving drummer in their storied run. The band thanks Frank for his friendship, creativity, and sturdy presence over the past 19 years, and they wish him success in the next chapter of his musical journey.
Frank first joined GNR during a show in June 2006 helping anchor the rhythm section during subsequent tours, including their recent outings featuring the reunited trio of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan. His last show with the band took place November 5, 2023 in Mexico.
It’s unclear who will replace Ferrer. The band has international tour dates set for this summer, including stops in India, Thailand, Japan, and others.
Ferrer, who was born in 1966 in New York City, has been a member of other notable bands, including The Psychedelic Furs, Love Spit Love, The Beautiful, The Dead Daisies, The Compulsions, and PSSR. He has worked with many other high profile musicians.
His early musical exposure included Latin music, due to his father’s background as a Latin percussionist. One of his strongest early musical influences was seeing the band Kiss perform.
