Taylor Hawkins

1972 - 2022

On March 25th, 2022 the Foo Fighters family tragically lost Taylor Hawkins. We at FooFightersLive send our condolences to his family, friends, and every other member of the large Foo Fighters Family.

As fans we are also of course hugely devasted by this loss and wanted to offer a place for fans around the world to leave a short message in memory of the man we all loved, whether we met him or not. When the time is right we will forward the page to Foo Fighters management.

To leave your message click the button, it will then appear on the wall below. Your message may also include an image if you choose.

Memories of these last 27 years with you may fade, but the love, laughter, music and inspiration you have brought to my life will burn within me to my final day. Your spirit lives on in us all - ever long. Rest easy my brother.

I had never seen the foo fighters up until March 15, in Foro Sol, I became so captivated by the way Taylor played the drums and his beautiful energy, since then I can say I’m a new fan, it breaks my heart to know that it was the first and last time I got to see him play…

I ran into Taylor at my work. He was with his wife and son. I turned around and he was right in front of me. I literally said “OH my god its Taylor!” Being a Foo fan, I was so struck by him I couldn’t keep it together and fanboy’d out for the next hour or so! Super nice guy!
