Never thought this day would come. I can't believe just a few days ago I was talking about you like we were best friends. I have to give you credit for my childhood, and what's left of it, and for all of the inspiration I've gained to continue on with my own music career. I love

The greatest show I’ve ever seen was from the top of the arena at Binghamton University in 2008. You came to town and gave us the best show anyone could ask for. Through the tribulations of attending college at Binghamton in the aughts, this is my best memory. Thank you T. RIP

As a fan, the Foo Fighters music has always been there for me, through good and bad, for better and for worse, they have a song for everything. Sometimes an artist's death hits hard, even though you didn't know them. So sorry... Thanks for the music. 😢 RIP Taylor Hawkins 💔

Thank you Taylor, for your music, for your great mood, for your vibe, for being one of the few remaining rockstars that didn’t care about being a rockstar. The world wasn’t great, and now it’s much worse without you. I hope to see you on the other side. Peace.

Taylor is quite literally my favourite drummer, a massive inspiration to me as both a musician and as a person and it's because of him I bought big roto toms to have over my floor toms (then later discovered this was inspired by Roger Taylor!). Much love to his friends and family
