I love you Taylor! Please, keep singing Queen and keep playing this drums, okay? You were too good for this world man, everyone knew about it! In 2017 we lost Chester Bennington and since then I’m trying to make him proud every single day and now I’ll do the same for you! ♥️

Taylor, I had the luck to watch you play live for at least once in my life, and sadly it was your show at Lollapalooza in Argentina. A tremendous, energetic and happy drummer and man. You will be missed forever, and will always be in my heart. One of the greatest that ever lived!

It's a different kind of hurt when you lose your heroes. Your music has gotten me through the hardest times, and ultimately made me feel there's more in the world than how it seems at times. May you rest in eternal peace, my hero. You will always be remembered.

Taylor, w/the cool CA surfer boy look, shredding his kit on the pedestal behind Grohl; Always w/that grin that seemed to be a mix of enjoyment & intensity. My heart aches for your brother Dave & the rest of your family, friends, & fans. Thanks for sharing your gift w/the world!

I love Dave Grohl & I love the Foo Fighters, but it was always Taylor whom I couldn't wait to see when I went to their concerts. His smile, his humor, his amazing talent, his surfer good looks & blonde hair, just everything about him was charismatic. I will miss him terribly.

Melinda Schulder

I never saw FF, despite loving the band since late 90s. I love Alanis, and it was only natural to be fascinated by her drummer moved to a band that was Nirvana. I can never meet you or the band now, but it's okay...RIP, Taylor. You will be sorely missed. Always.

It's clear to me that Taylor has touched everyone here far beyond his incredible talent. He was so funny, happy-go-lucky, and most of all kind to those who knew him and those who were strangers. For me as a drummer, seeing one of his solos live completely blew my fuckin mind.
