Taylor has been a massive part of my life for years now. He always put so much energy into everything he was did and that's why he was one of the best! My heart goes out to the other members of Foo Fighters, the crew and of course his family.
RIP Taylor we all miss you!

E triste ter pedido uma herói, um mentor musical e principalmente um ídolo, sua missão nesse fundo foi cumprida onde você mostrou como é bom fazer música com amor.
Deus irá lhe receber de braços aberto e agradecer pelo sua missão na terra.
Descanse em paz Taylor

You are one of a kind. Completely irreplaceable. One of my biggest musical heroes, and the first one to depart. I'll never be able to thank you in person for the inspiration you've given me to play the drums, so I only hope that you're listening now.
Rest well, Taylor.

🇫🇷 Rip Taylor. We will really you.
I never had the chance to meet him personnaly despite the fact I'm a die hard Fan.
But, I remember him on a French TV show, we were put at the back of the stage, putting us 'far' from Dave, but close to T & had a stick. My memory For ever

Taylor has been a massive part of my life for years now. I was fortunate enough to see the Foos in 2019 and seeing Taylor play a 10 minute drum solo blew my mind. He always put so much energy into everything he did and that's why he will always be one of the greats. RIP Taylor
