Nokra Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Damn it. Been a fan of Foo Fighters for 20 years; poor Dave, Nate, Chris, and Pat. Glad I got to see them in concert a couple times... they do indeed put on a hell of a show. RIP, Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 The loss of Taylor has been all I have thought of these last couple hours since I first read about this on Twitter. Of course I'm heartbroken that such a phenomenal talent is gone from a band I've been a fan of since the mid 90's. Moreover, my heart breaks for his family & friends of course, it doesn't even matter the circumstance, its done & he's gone & it truly fucking sucks! That said, my heart is shattered for both Pat & Dave ... the latter even more so because Taylor was his brother practically. I know it comes off as being a doomsayer but I really don't know how Dave is going to deal with this & it hurts you know? 2022 has taken a lot already and its barely 1/4 of the way done. FFS this is just shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Oh man this one hurts. Not only are they one of my favorite bands but Taylor was their link to Queen, my all time favorite band. Was lucky enough to see them in concert 3 times. Some of my favorite parts of the shows were when Taylor sang 😔 I have tickets to see them this summer but I can’t imagine they’ll continue with that tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Fuck this is sad news. I got to see them in 2018, was set to see their 25th anniversary tour in Hamilton (Covid canceled) and my sister had just bought me tickets to see them in July for Xmas. Just finished Dave Grohl’s The Storyteller book and talked about Kurt’s loss on him and his love for his brother from another mother, Taylor Hawkins. This one is gonna hurt a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl inducted Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That association and the reverence they paid really made me go back and check out Foo Fighters. I respect them a ton and this is an absolute tragedy for music. But I know how this loss hits for Foo fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Sadly it’s what I thought. Cocktail of 10 drugs believe to of been in system, plus enlarged heart. I had always heard from others that Dave kinda took Taylor on as his redemption project after losing Kurt. Knew that Taylor battled his own demons and sadly they didn’t seem to ever go away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 While a genuine fun watch, looking at it through the lens of an addiction recovery specialist, Dave's got demons too. I truly fear that this loss will really send him way over the edge & there may not be a way back. I'm sincerely fearful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamusha Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Losing a friend to addiction is tough. It's easy to feel guilty and feel like enough wasn't done to reach out. I hope Grohl isn't being hard on himself through all of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I was still holding out hope they would tour, but Foo Fighters just made it official. All upcoming concert events have been canceled. Had tickets for them in Toronto for July and had tickets back in May 2020 to see them in Hamilton. At least I got to see them in Toronto in the summer of 2018.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Inside Taylor Hawkins' Final Days as a Foo Fighter WWW.ROLLINGSTONE.COM For 24 years, Taylor went all-out for Foo Fighters. Before he died, Hawkins told multiple friends he “couldn’t fucking do it anymore.” Quote March 22, 2022, was a muggy day in Asunción, Paraguay’s capital city. Thunderstorms had ruined the grounds of the Asunciónico festival, forcing Foo Fighters to cancel their headlining concert there that night, but severe weather couldn’t stop hundreds of fans from gathering around the Sheraton, where the group was staying. Taylor Hawkins, the band’s charismatic drummer and singer, known for his athletic performances and surprising vocal agility, was hanging out in the lobby when the sound of a drum set came crashing through the din, playing his parts to “The Pretender” and “Everlong.” The sound piqued his interest, so he ventured out to find the source. In the throng, nine-year-old Emma Sofía Peralta, who first picked up a pair of drumsticks at age seven, stationed herself behind her drum kit near a barricade with the hopes of catching the attention of her heroes, Dave Grohl and Hawkins. “That day was about to become the worst day of my life,” she says, referring to the canceled concert over Zoom (with translation help from her dad, Julius), “and suddenly it became the best day of my life.” Once outside, Hawkins scanned the crowd looking for the young drummer. After addressing the fans, announcing that Foo Fighters would surely return to Asunción, he posed for a photo with the girl, crouching next to her and flashing the sort of warm, toothy smile that established him as one of the most beloved drummers in rock. But multiple friends tell Rolling Stone that he felt conflicted about being on the road. Three days later, he was dead — an official cause of death is still unknown. In the month and a half since Hawkins’ death, Rolling Stone has interviewed 20 people, including several of the drummer’s best friends, about his career, legacy, and outlook near the end of his life. Prior to Foo Fighters’ supersized post-pandemic comeback — which kicked off last June with vax-mandatory gigs in L.A. and New York’s Madison Square Garden — Hawkins felt hesitant about returning to the road and wasn’t sure he’d be able to remain a full-time member if they continued to tour at this pace, these friends say. Even though he kept himself in decent shape, according to his friends, he felt vexed by the physicality required to play nearly three-hour concerts night after night. (Rolling Stone repeatedly asked Hawkins’ family members and bandmates for interviews for this story. Hawkins’ family declined to comment. Foo Fighters and their management did not want to be interviewed. But through a representative, they dispute Hawkins’ friends’ characterizations of how he was feeling.)

CayceG Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I watched the Rush portion. Losing Taylor Hawkins and Neil Peart is a big big hole in these two bands' lives. They were all good friends. So seeing Dave Grohl play drums on 2112 and Working Man, it was insane. Also, Geddy and Alex really made Omar Hakim work on YYZ The entire concert is archived here on Internet Archive: Foo Fighters - The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert (Live from Wembley Stadium) [September 3rd, 2022] : Foo Fighters & The Hawkins Family : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive ARCHIVE.ORG Recorded at Wembley Stadium in London, United Kingdom on September 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
