Foo Fighters have been my favorite band since ‘97. I met Taylor in ‘17 and he was kind and made sure us fans waiting after the show were taken care of. He’s a good man. Talented beyond belief. There will never be another. Sending love to his family and friends.

When I saw the foos reopen the garden it was one of the greatest nights of my life. They have so much fun together and have made a huge impact on my life. Taylor was seemly always so happy and just having fun and I know how much he meant to Dave. This is such sad news, prayers up
