2002 me and my mate ditched school to get a bus to see the Foos at Wembley Arena, meeting with my brother and his mates at the bus stop.
The lights went down, the crowd erupts, I’d never felt a feeling like it.

To lose someone is really hard to bear. It hardly seems believable that you're no longer there. However hard it is though we'll take comfort from the thought of all the memories we have and the happiness you brought.

Throughout the challenges of life, I, like many of us, turn to music and the arts for comfort. And sometimes certain artists grab me in ways that make me lean in hard. Foo Fighters have been that for me during the pandemic. Thank you, Taylor. Peace and warmth to your loved ones.
