Your voice, energy, love and passion will be missed. Thoughts are with the Foo Fighters family and especially Taylor’s family. RIP ❤️

The Foo’s are such an awesome band. This is a massive tragedy. Person this hits home because of the Queen connection. Taylor got to do what every Queen fan wants to do - get up on stage and do the Ay-oh’s to a responsive crowd! What a legend, what a loss - love and respect

I was so nervous when I met Taylor as an aspiring 13 year-old drummer but he was impossibly kind and had so much time for me, encouraging me in my drumming journey. I modelled my drumming on Taylor’s, and still make his drum faces! Hoped I'd get to thank him one day. RIP The Hawk
