To Taylor's family & musical family my deepest condolences. Taylor was a bright & shining light, burned so brightly, but sadly all too briefly. His talent, passion, humor & beautiful smile was a gift to us all. Life is uncertain, but we were blessed to witness his greatness.

I had the chance to see the Foo a few years ago and still one of my all time fav shows... when I heard the news I got the same gut feeling when Eddie Van Halen left us. A huge talent but a better human gone too soon... I guess God needed a drummer 🥁 for his band and chose you🙏

I've only heard your music or streamed it and I'm sad I will not get to see your bond with Dave and the band live but you will forever be a fabric of the people who you were closest to and a patch to your fans lives. RIP rock with the legends for us.

What an amazing person and what a remarkable life. It’s hard to lose someone who meant so much to all of us, and even harder that we can’t all be together to say good-bye. We want you to know we’re with you in spirit—now and in the days and weeks ahead.

I've been a fan since october 2021, I've never stopped listening to FF, and as a fan when I've heard this sad or tragic news, it made me feel depressed, to know that their drummer is found dead, and I hope he won't be replaced, I love him,his music,style, and I won't forget him.

This meme made sense to me. I’ve followed the Foo’s since the beginning and have seen them live lots. At their own concerts and festivals. I even dragged my husband to Budapest. He wasn’t a huge fan but was singing his heart out! Gutted Taylor I’ll miss you RIP LOVE to all Evie x

Taylor along with the rest of the band was and still is a huge inspiration for me, I may have only seen the Foo Fighters live once, but that was still enough for me to want to idolize them. I just wish I was able to tell Taylor how much he means to me, I miss him like crazy.

Since Saturday morning I'm so sad. I've seen you performing three times with the guys and it was each time a stunning performance. Inside this band we felt an other duo with Dave. I'll be missing you so much. God bless you and your family. God bless the Foo Fighters.
