Add Your MessageTaylor. Siempre te recordaremos. Los Foo Fighters son la música que siempre nos recordará los viajes en familia. Quedamos absolutamente devastados con la noticia, y aún hoy, tres dias después de tu muerte estamos shockeados, incrédulos y absolutamente consternados con tu partida.
Taylor, you'll miss you. I'm so sad. My favorite drummer. I work my first patterns with your songs. Your smile, your voice, your powerful drums tracks missed me. R.I.P. Taylor...
I became a fan of the Foo's last year and fell in love with their songs. Taylor truly inspired me in wanting to pick up a instrument like drums and sing as well. He and Dave were my favorite members. Wish I could've thanked him for the music and all, Rest In Peace Taylor
Du warst eine Inspiration! Die Welt ist nicht mehr die selbe ohne dich!
R.I.P
I am simply devastated.
I know I should say rest in peace, but I hope you don't, I hope you rock so hard and so loud up there we hear you down here. Never thought I could feel this broken over someone I've never met in person. Man! You will be missed❤
When I was first introduced to your music I used to think that you Taylor and Dave Grohl were actual blood brothers. you were not. BUT EACH TIME u played in Australia U rocked out just like John Bonha from led zeppelin. I and every aussie grieve for U your family & band matesRIP
R I P Taylor... you will be missed .. condolences to all family and closest friends .. will miss that big smile behind those drums 😢
Taylor along with Foo Fighters, has been my vessel since childhood. Some of my earliest and fondest memories are represented by him with the band, his covers where he'd swap with Dave specifically, that I loved listening to. He lives through his music and will never be forgotten.
Never a more appropriate song lyric “ One of these days your heart will stop and play it's final beat” . As with many others I didn’t know you, but your passing has affected me deeply. What an absolutely tragedy and such a loss. Your songs shaped my formative years and still do.
r.i.p taylor we are going to miss you. You were a lovely person and an excellent musician. missing you. 💔❤️
I didn’t know you personally but I feel like I do. This band has been the only constant in my life for 20 years and the relationship between you and Dave just made my heart smile. Sending everyone a huge hug - together we mourn with you. All of us. I’m so sorry for our loss
Such a tragic loss. I was lucky enough to see Taylor play 4 times. His energy, humour and effortless coolness will always stay will me. Thank you for the music, Hawk. My heart is broken for his family and band mates. Thinking of you all now.
Thank you Taylor.Thank you for the memories, the joy, the laughter and the wonderful experiences I have had being blessed enough to see you and your band four different times in concert. I will always cherish those moments and hold them close to my heart. You will be so missed!
Man! I am still numb. You were my drumming and music inspiration, my creative driving force… fuck I don’t know where to go from here. I couldn’t bring myself to play drums to any of your songs in the last few days. I’m going to miss you T. Much love x
So sad RIP my hero
Thank you for being awesome Taylor, RIP ❤️❤️
Too soon… rest in peace Taylor, we will love you and miss you for ever 💔🇦🇷
You were the best drummer in the world. Thank you Taylor. 💔
My fave memory wasn’t even seeing you play. It was one of my first rock shows at Barrowlands in 99, watching you and Dave head banging at side of stage to Hellacopters, your grin so huge 14 year old me just understood the love for music. Thank you T for all memories since xx
Taylor, você é gigante. Obrigada por sua arte, sua energia, seu amor e dedicação pela música. Você fez a diferença no rock e na vida de muitas pessoas. Obrigada por tudo, você é incrível e inesquecível. Sua essencia sempre estará viva para seus fãs. Força Foo Fighters. Com amor.
Heartbreaking news. So sad.
I was lucky enough to see Taylor perform with the Foo Fighters a few times. Fantastic drummer, right up there with the best.
Gone far too soon.
RIP my friend.

Shocked beyond belief at the death of Taylor Hawkins. Foo Fighters have influenced me since the age of 10, I have seen them live 5 times, and we were due to see them again this year. This is an absolute tragedy, he was an amazing performer, songwriter and all round funny guy.
I am devastated that you're gone. I am heartbroken if you were in any pain.
You came into my life via Alanis Morissette and her brilliant band.
You left it as one of the most amazing brilliant musicians in one of the most amazing brilliant bands.
Rest in power.
Tot el meu respecte per aquet gran music i persona, descansi en pau.
Rest In Peace, Taylor 💔 I want to thank you for being a part of this band that has gotten me through some of my darkest times. I’m incredibly sad I wasn’t able to see you and the Foo’s in person. You will be missed so much.
True genius massive talent and personality - the music world and the world itself is less with your passing
Taylor you were taken too. will live on through your music, may that bring comfort to your family, fellow Foos & fans globally. That infections smile & down to earth character will shine forever along with being the most awesome drummer.
Sending love & strength to your family ❤❤
The foo fighters have been a huge part of my life, I’ve not missed a uk show in 22 years, except one which was 3 weeks after the birth of my son but l still had a ticket! Taylor you will be missed 💔 heaven just got a little louder 🥁
The best drummer is now in heaven! Rest un peace Taylor Hawkins. We will miss you ❤️
What an experience it was to hear you play, just when you thought you couldn't be any more talented on the drums you picked up the mic and blew the crowd away. Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins.
Taylor, gone too soon but never to be forgotten in my heart. Although I never met you, your music has given me my joy and always will 💔
So sad...no words...RIP Taylor

At the end, all that stays is gratitude and love. RIP Taylor Hawkins 🖤
Taylor, you were such an exceptional drummer and person, I didn’t know you in person, but had this special connection with the Foos, and it’s so difficult for me to assimilate this news. Foo Fighters music has been my life’s soundtrack. Thank you for bringing joy to my life. RIP
Dolor inmenso, una tristeza infinita. Ahora vas a poder tocar con Freddy en el cielo (L). Te vi en Vélez 2018, el cual vi el mejor recital de mi vida. Gracias por tanto Taylor, te voy a extrañar :(.
Taylor you will be missed so much. Your amazing talent, your beautiful smile, and wonderful personality. I can't believe you're gone. Thank you for the music. Thinking of your family, the band, and all who are close to you. Rip you amazing guy. We love you. ❤
Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year
You'll be missed ;(
1st ever FF concert won tickets on a radio station 17/2/15 (Taylors 43rd Birthday) Sonic Highways Tour Brisbane Australia 24/2/15.
2nd concert Concrete Gold Tour Brisbane Australia 25/1/18 caught 1 of Taylors drumsticks. A stick amongst many that Taylors beat has touched 💔🙏🏼🤘🏽
For some people music is our companion at times when we need someone else, Foo fighters are my company always.... Losing Taylor is very painful, it's like taking away a little bit of my happiness. If it hurts me this way, it must hurt his mates a thousand times more.
Foo Fighters helped me through a hard time in my life. Seeing your smile & energy behind the drums was uplifting & fun. Prayers to you family, your band family & friends. Rock on Taylor Hawkins 🥺😭💜
An icon. A legend. A drummer that would be considered an all-time great had he appeared in another era.
Thoughts go out to all who knew him.
Speechless 😢
Through this absolute tragedy we have read so many positive and uplifting comments regarding Taylor and the life he lead. I hope his family and of course the Foos are so proud of him, not only of his contribution to music but the man that he was. We will never forget Taylor.
Taylor Hawkins the energy, the positive vibes, the closeness with your band family shined through your 🎵 music. Watching you at Bottle Rock was amazing! My sincere condolences to your familia! Thank you for the beautiful music. Enjoy jamming with Charlie. RIP!
My friends and I send our love and support to his family, friends, the band, and all the fans. When you listen to all the music he had created over the last few decades on a daily basis, watch every interview and clip, video he was a part of its hard not to feel totally at loss.
RIP you will be missed
Love and best wishes to your wife and kids
Still can't believe your gone... it's so unreal I feel very sad. Thank you for your music your talent, you ll be miss. Love.
Te fuiste muy pronto. Ve con Dios y ve en paz. Eres inspiración de muchos y feliz recuerdo para todos. Que tu familia, tus hijos, tus bandas y amigos pronto encuentren también la paz y sigas siendo su inspiración y ese recuerdo que los anime a avanzar y a seguir creando.
A huge, huge loss for music, for the band, for the Hawkins family, for the fans, for the world.
This has cut everyone so deep. Taylor, you are so loved and so missed. Rest in peace. Xx
