There are not enough words to describe the loss of Taylor Hawkins. Day #2 of endless tears, sadness, and heartache. Last saw them in 2018; first time was ON my birthday in 2017. Been a fan for 2 decades. Only song I can listen to is "One of These Days" as it's the most fitting. ❤

When they played Auckland in 2018, Taylor had to sound check his drums after we got let in. They hid him, but as he left I could see him and yelled his name. He stopped and did a little dance for us. It wasn’t even a conversation, but it was a moment I’ll never forget. RIP T.
