My heart hurts…Taylor was a marvel to watch on stage. His energy was tangible. His skill was a reverberating wave of beats, and you couldn’t help but rock to the rhythm of his drums. Thank you Taylor, for being a part of music I love and find solace in. RIP

Taylor,
I don’t know what to say. It doesn’t feel real. I just want to say thank you. Your music helped me through many hard times. You are part of the reason I bought a drum set at 33. I hope you are jamming with Freddie and Neil as I type this. Rest In Peace. Love always.
