Oh sweet T! Deepest sympathies to his loved ones + band fam. Witnessing T’s magic for so many years has been an honor. Last song I saw him play live was Get Back with Sir Paul- a mindblowing moment I will cherish. Many of us are friends *because* of FF. We’ll love him forever 🖤

Thank you for giving me the inspiration to sit down behind a drumkit after listening "Come Back" and pretending to drum using wooden spoons on the table. You will "come back" in one way or another... You'll be missed. R.I.P. My thought is with the band and Hawkins family.
