Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins says there are no immediate plans for the band to record a new album.

The musician told NME that the group are currently laying low after touring their last record, 2014's 'Sonic Highways'. He said when frontman Dave Grohl is ready to record then the band will hit the studio.

Hawkins said: "We’re still in a hunker down period right now. We know we have those shows next year, and we did a charity event for Dave’s kid’s school a couple of weeks ago that got a little bit of press. We’re fine, we love each other we’re all good. We’re just figuring out when the world’s ready for more Foo Fighters, we’re a family.

"We will make a new record at some point. We won’t really be ready until Dave’s ready to go. It’s on the books, so we’ll definitely be playing. We never really know, we just wait for a text from Dave saying ‘hey, let’s go down to the studio."
