“The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins,” the band writes. “His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever”

As news of Hawkins’ death spread, numerous musicians and celebrities took to social media to honor the late drummer. “God bless you Taylor Hawkins. I loved your spirit and your unstoppable rock power,” wrote Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, sharing a photo of himself and Hawkins alongside Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell. “Rest In Peace my friend.” Miley Cyrus, a noted Foo Fighters fan, shared a photograph of herself and Hawkins to her Instagram stories, writing, “This is how I’ll always remember you,” and added that her upcoming concert would be dedicated to him. Slash wrote that Hawkins’ death left him “devastated,” saying, “I’ve no words to express all the feelings I have about his passing.” Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, Ozzy Osbourne, producer Steve Albini and musician Finneas were among others who also shared tributes.

Everyone is a tortured soul now. All the cool kids have crippling anxiety.

He was in South America. After a long plane flight...guess a pulmonary embolism still on the table?

Vaxx might still be a suspect, however...

Funny. He died of a drug OD. So dave grhol was a pro-vaxxer and I guess he really likes it when people stick needles in their arms.

I worked security at one of their concerts.
I couldn’t see what the big deal was.

The only Foo Fighters tune I know and like enough to include in my iTunes rotation is “My Hero.”

It’s pretty good, but what makes it memorable for me is that it has one of the best and funniest music videos of all time. See if you can track it down. Some dude runs into a burning building repeatedly to rescue a baby, a dog, some valuable possessions, etc. — and every room he enters has the Foo Fighters band playing in it. LOL.

Great drummer.

For most of 1997 I worked and lived in Manhattan while consulting for a brokerage client. One of my colleagues was, at the time, the girlfriend of one of the band members. I can’t remember which one and it doesn’t matter. She told some wild stories. I’ve probably heard some of their music without realizing it but couldn’t tell you any songs they’ve done.

“Everlong” is a great song.

Delayed Sudden Death by The Jab, until proven otherwise. Unfortunately.

On the other hand he WAS a drummer after all. What's the normal life expectancy? Thirty?

Well, you got a point there maybe. Just another one who didn’t outlive Keef?
