I will always be grateful to you, Taylor, and the way your generosity of spirit inspired and revived me time and time again. I will never stop saying your name.

I became a Foo Fighters fan after watching an interview Taylor did with BBC radio about the drums. It’s also when I realized I wanted to play drums. I got to see them for the first and last time at Shakey Knees this past year and it was so awesome. I watched Taylor the whole time

Two stories I have of Taylor, when I first met him in Oakland California and I had showed him my Foo Fighters tattoo and he said “ hey dude you’re not gonna kick my ass in 10 years right?” “ I said for what!” He said “ well cause you’re probably regret it in 10 years” we Laughed

I remember mailing you back in 98-99 before TNLTL came out about if you guys would come and play in Sweden, and I got an answer from you where you said that it will happen. Just the humbleness in answering mails from fans, made me a really happy 16 year old fan. We will miss you!

Chris Bolin

I’m lucky to have witnessed Taylor’s greatness many times, and I’m heartbroken over this loss. One of my favorite memories is watching him belt out Under Pressure on the mic while Roger Taylor took over the drums. The smile on his face was always so contagious. A true legend 💔
