Foo Fighters have been my favourite band for as long as I can remember, their music was how I met my best friend, we'd just watched studio 666 a few days before he passed, it's like a part of us died too, Rest in Power, I wish I could have seen them live just once

We are in utter shock and disbelief. You and the Foos have given us some of the best times of our lives. Your music, your talent, you were a force of nature behind those drums. I’m just so sad. I send so much love to your family and the band. God bless TH xx

I saw you LIVE in Florence 3 years ago, your drums went High on the stage with the moon ahead, and you did a solo that got my goose bumps and tears and I screamed out loud. I want to remember you like this: playing and singing in the night sky. I will miss you with all of my 💔
