Taylor and Foos:
Thank you for all you mean to me. My life’s soundtrack.
I’m so sorry and I still cannot believe the notice, 10 days ago I saw the most amazing show of the foos with the most wonderful energy and partnership ever, thank you for that.
With love.

Taylor was my biggest idols and is who inspired me to keep drumming as he should be an inspiration to all, not just drummers but people who want to good in this world. He will be missed deeply.

I had the pleasure of seeing Taylor play with FF twice and I’ve always called them the best shows I’ve ever been to. I grew up watching Taylor on MTV and now it feels like a part of my childhood has died. My condolences to his family & friends. Heaven is so lucky.

Isn't it funny how someone you never really knew can leave such a massive hole in your heart. Taylor, your infectious smile and vibe that came from you when you was on stage will NEVER be forgotten. May you live on in your music and may you now be at peace. Massive love ❤️

Taylor, the band will not be the same without you. You slayed the drums so well and with such creativity and fun, not to mention power, the power that rock and roll needs, and it was because of you as well as the other members that the Foo Fighters was what it was. Rest in Peace.
Tim
Thanks, Taylor. Cause without the pasión, compromise and joy you've lighten in me for an instrument after seeing you playing live, no one knows how much times I've decided to better sit into my drums and play louder than my troubles instead of throwing myself outside the window.

The first time I saw Taylor play was in the summer of 98 on the “colour and the shape” tour. I was in grade 8. Witnessing his ferociousness on the drums and in the band changed my life forever. He will be greatly missed. His music and spirit will be celebrated for generations.

I got to see Foo Fighters perform live at the Love Ride ‘15. To this day that is still one of my favorite live concerts I’ve been to and what made it so special was to see how involved with the entire gig Taylor was. He didn’t just stay behind his kit and play when needed.
