Taylor Hawkins has died

Say Your Number

Very shocking and sudden news, saw Foo Fighters in 2019, he was a real powerhouse, if the band continues they will have some job replacing him.

Just happened across this while scanning the bbc website literally just seconds ago. Right after Mark Lanegan as well. Awful, just awful.

It must have been sudden as they were in the middle of a tour.

That's a big shock, he was some talented lad and very well respected.

RIP

RIP! Awful news

That is a shocker. Thought those guys would go on forever. Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of people are dying prematurely lately?

Crazy. RIP.

Never phoned it in, loved every minute of being a rock star,

Normally if it is something like a private battle with cancer, the statement would say so. I really hope not, but it could be suicide.

Seen them many times and they never disappoint. Taylor's Queen covers were always a highlight.

Huge loss to the music world.

Devastated! I only said to my sister last week that they are one band I would see countless times. Taylor really gave it everything up there.

RIP

Always looked like he enjoyed every second of it, very sad news at a very young age too. One of my favourite bands.

These celebs come and go, very sad but who will even remember. Best wishes to his family, we are supposing it is drugs so they will need it, lot of religious fanaticism in u items states

KieferFan69

Just wondering was this the booster? Thoughts

A lot of people will remember him. People like you get forgotten.

when did he receive it?

KieferFan69

Due to his age, supposing he had no other complaints, most likely he received the booster at start of year, maybe as late as February

a wealthy rock star, id say he was one of the first in line, well ahead of you and me anyway!

Can we keep Covid out of this. I'm willing to bet there's a 99.9999999999999% chance that this is nothing to do with the booster.

Good point, or maybe he had doubts and waited till he felt sure

fluke

RIP. A great drummer and a great stage presence.

Yawn!

Very sad news, what a superb drummer he was. I like the Foo’s but never enough to go see them live. However, I did see Taylor perform at that rubbish ‘drummers of Slane’ thing back in ‘03; he was very much the standout on the night while the rest of the guys were completely phoning it in (including Chad Smith)…me and my mate left after less than an hour and headed back to the pub!

Thoughts with his Wife & 3 kids.

Any chance you could suppress your ghoulish entirely speculative nonsense that have no basis in fact?

That is likely to lead to speculation whether true or not.

Couldn't really believe it when I read the news this morning. Foo Fighters felt like they'd go forever. He was a fantastic drummer and musician, had some very interesting side projects aswell. 25 years in Foo fighters you would forget he joined Alanis Morissette to tour Jagged Little Pill in the 90s. He will be fondly remembered through the music of Foo Fighters

Frank Bullitt

Sad stuff this, saw them a few times over the years and he really stood out in their live performances.

Tragic stuff for his family and friends. God rest.
