Foo fighters have got me through so much in life. I lost my husband in 2020 to a cardiac arrest and he was also a massive fan. I am heartbroken that Taylor has gone but his legacy will live on in his amazing family and friends. Rest easy dude. Lot of love xx

Thank you, Taylor. To say this is tragic is a massive understatement. Saw Foos at Citi Field in 2015. To watch you command 40k was something I'll never forget. Taylor Hawkins Forever.

Taylor was the first drummer I ever saw live. When I was eight years old, he inspired me to get a drumset and play rock n roll for the first time. Foo Fighters was the first band I knew by name. Hopefully His music will go one to inspire young drummers for years to come.

If you only knew the hole in our hearts and our tears. People who didn’t know you personally but were drawn in by your talent, your humor and humility. You said you got to play rock and roll for a living and so had no complaints. Our complaint is you’re gone too soon.
