You have been a massive part of the FOO fighters who have lost part of their sole. Your music has been a massive part of me for the last 20 years from Alice through your entire Foo. Rest In Peace Taylor and hope you always keep everyone entertained as you have always done.

Sweet Taylor - you will be sorely missed. So glad I got to see you on C & G tour in 2018. The FF will never be the same without you. You have incredible fans and friends and family who love you and will miss you eternally. Enjoy your Cold Day In the Sun.

Unfortunately I was never about to see you live. Many years ago I bought the first album. My God it resonated with me to the core. I went on my merry way raised kids and followed more of the music as it progressed. When I heard the news I feel like I fell off a cliff. 💔.

Taylor,

You were always a shining beacon of light and your sense of humor was something I could always look forward to when I was feeling down. We will miss you terribly.

We will miss your infinite kindness greatly, Taylor. Legendary are never gone but they leave a void in their wake. I doubt anyone from the band or Taylor's family will see this, but if you do, you're not alone. There is always someone there to help you when you need it. Much love

Every time I saw The Foo, live or on my TV, I was amazed with the energy and charisma Taylor possessed. It was evident he loved what he did and who he played with. His energy infected the crowd and he, in turn, was fueled by it. His light burned bright. May his memory live on.
