Pimpadeaux 2,403 Posted March 26, 2022 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/25/arts/music/taylor-hawkins-foo-fighters-dead.html Quote Taylor Hawkins, the hard-hitting, charismatic drummer for Foo Fighters, has died at 50. A statement posted to the band’s social media and sent by its representative confirmed the death, but did not provide a cause or location. The band was scheduled to play a show Friday night in Bogotá, Colombia, at the Festival Estéreo Picnic. He was an elite drummer. If Dave Grohl has you in his band as a drummer, you're a pretty focking great drummer. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like some of their songs here and there, but my wife is a big fan. She'll be bummed. They did put on a great show for their fans, and Hawkins seemed like a pretty cool guy.

Taylor said that Axle Rose came up to him and asked him what it is like playing drums fro the greatest drummer of the 90's. He said it is hard, but Grohl is never a dic about it. I have two musician friends that knew him growing up in Laguna Beach, CA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
