It has been there my entire adult life. Every milestone my husband and I have shared we can connect it to a Foo Fighters song or album and it feels like a piece of us has gone forever now.
Rock on in Peace Hawk 🤘

My heart is broken but I'm so thankful all the memories that everyone has will live on. I only saw the Foos twice, but they were two of my favorite shows ever. Peace and light to all who love him. RIP Taylor.

I got to see Taylor back in 2018 when the Foos toured. By the time the night was done, Taylor’s status went from rock legend to rock god in the hearts and mind of all of us. There’s just no comparison. Never will be either. I am heartbroken.

Taylor Hawkins will go down in history as one of the best drummers to ever sit behind a drum kit, and as having the greatest, most infectious smile in rock history! I never had the chance to meet him but seeing him perform live was always an absolute honour, his legacy will go on

In the Netherlands you call goosebumps “Kippevel”.

For my feeling ever since I’ve heard the first Foo Fighters album I saw that smile and the fun in the faces of the guys. Saw you guys several times live, the energy of Taylor and the band was adrenaline till the bones.
