Taylor Hawkins

Foo fighters are very much the soundtrack of my life, they got me through bad times and made me feel higher in the good. The driving force behind it all, the beat to it, what moved me forwards was this guy.

Thanks Taylor for providing the beat.
I'll miss you

I'm devastated that I never had the opportunity to see the Foos live... Taylor was one of the greatest drummers in history and certainly the best of my generation. Rest in peace ❤️

Taylor, in Cardiff (2002? 2003?) your drums kicked in on The Pretender - and I immediately, and accidentally, had my tooth knocked out by the guy in front of me. I was really looking forward to seeing you guys play again! (But with all my teeth). I'm so sorry you're gone xx

Charlotte

What a bad news yesterday... i'm very sad because i love the Foo fighters and Taylor was a wonderful drummer, artist with a huge smile... a very big loss for music, for the Foo's and for us the fans...
I think about his family, about the group...
With all my love

Met Taylor at a Rush show right before I had knee surgery- I was the last to leave and he came bounding down toward me. “I’m going to meet Neil Peart!” He talked with me for a couple minutes, gave me the bro hug, and kept running. Hugs to his fam and the Foos from the Rush fam.

Taylor Hawkins was sunshine personified for me, even though I never met the man. As a life long Foo Fighters fan, I long admired his musical talent & drumming skills. More than all of that was his special relationship with Dave Grohl. Our hearts are with the band & families.
