I had the honour of meeting you in Dublin 2019. You happily gave us your time, let us take our photos, signed my arm and made us laugh. For me, i met a superstar and a genuinely nice sweet guy. It made my day more than words can ever express.
You will be sorely missed.
RIP Taylor

Struggling to comprehend how someone with such a zest for life and so much to give to music and beyond can just be gone in a moment. So glad he made it in life and was able to share his talents with the world. I’m sure he had the best of times & best life poss with the Foo’s.
