Your loss is too difficult to register properly. The thought of never seeing that cheeky teeth nashing smile of yours from behind the drums at the next gig the Foo’s play in Ireland seems unimaginable. You leave MASSIVE boots to fill! Rock on for Everlong Taylor!

Gone too soon! You will always remain a legend here. Continue to rest close out with the angels up there. See you in the next life ❤️

Dear Taylor, when I think of you my only wish is that you were not in pain, that you smiled through it, that you were not alone, that your favourite song played in the room, that you had your fav meal before, that you were not scared. I am aching! Rest in beats! 💔

Family, Dave, Foos, i'm so sorry for your loss.
Taylor was an example for me. As a drummer he inspired me so much.
The first time I saw him play ws on a DVD, Hydepark 2006. He blew me away.
As a drummer, as a Queen fan, we had many similarities.
Rest in peace brother.

It is particularly cruel when Mr Death takes someone who’s lived with such joy, and brought joy to so many. The Foofighters can make your heart soar with the energy they bring to their craft, and Taylor Hawkins was so central to that. Don’t Rest in Peace, Rest in Joyfulness Sir x

When I was 18, my parents took me to see Foo Fighters at Fenway Park. At one point, Dave got on drums, and Taylor on vocals. Him and Luke singing Under Pressure was one of the greatest moments of my life I will always look back on. He was a great, talented man.

It feels like this is gonna hurt forever… I fell in love with you 23 years ago. You are a part of my life and always will be. It hurts so bad that we won’t see your joy behind the drum kit ever again, joking around with Dave. I will always love you, your music and your magic.

The Foo Fighters were my first real concert in 2011, and Taylor is the reason I started playing drums. Post pandemic, I saw them play in Kansas City. It re-sparked a passion that had been fleeting. I want anyone seeing this to remember that in-spite of it all, life is beautiful.

Jones Goldman

Sorry I will never get to see you live but thanks for the countless memories you left behind you are always here just on the other side and one day I hope to hear you again. Take care brother. May your memory be eternal!!

Me siento egoístamente triste. Los Foo han sido mi banda sonora y por fin iba a poder verlos. No me puedo creer que a tan solo 3 meses de poder llorar mientras los oía tocar en directo, eso nunca ocurra. Nunca pude oír a Taylor, ni conocerlo. Me dais envidia los que sí. Gra. Love

When I was 10 I watched the Foo Fighters documentary for the first time. And right when it ended I looked at my dad and said” can we watch it again”. That is when I found my hero’s. These guys have been my hero’s sense. I am only 15 but have already found my favorite band forever

Maren OBrien

For my 13th birthday present all I wanted was to see the Foo Fighters in concert. My friend collier went too. Towards the end of the concert Taylor and Dave call Collier to the stage and play. That was one of the best nights of my life. Thank you Taylor for all the amazing music.

Maren OBrien

Rest in peace Taylor 🙏💫 I can't believe that you are gone but your music will be here forever. My thoughts go out to your family and the Foo Fighters. The last time I saw you play was in Manchester 2018, can't believe it was the last time. Thank you for the memories 💔
