Watching Taylor and the Foos in concert is seeing a stadium of people lifted up together through music. I will never forget that feeling and sharing it with my son. To Taylor-Thank you for sharing your talent and love for music and people. Sending much love to the Foo Family.

I am grateful that we got to see the Foo Fighters in August 2021. From Taylor's mega-watt smile as well as drumming, singing and just seeming to love what you do it was what we needed after a rough couple of years, May your memory be a blessing to your wife, kids and bandmates.

I just can’t wrap my head around this. My husband took me to my first FooFighter show at Rockville and said it would change my life. I’ve always been a fan, but thought to myself he’s so dramatic. It’s music- yeah I love it- but change my life? and it did-You’re irreplaceable

Maryann

My heart is breaking for all of the Foo family. Just devastating. This band has meant so much to my life, to all of our lives. I am grateful to have been able to see them live several times. Won't be the same without you Taylor, Rock in peace. Sending comfort and love to all.

Taylor was absolutely an animal drummer and I will never forget his arms and legs just flying about all the time. I've seen Foos 2X going on our 3rd in LA in August. I doubt your resting in peace dude because you are a natural kick as drummer who gave it your all. Respect Taylor.

I still cannot believe it - so talented, greatest drummer ever. Loved his smile, his warmth, a golden Cali boy with such a zest for life. My heart goes out to the Foo Fighters, Taylor's beloved wife and precious kids, who were robbed of more time with such an amazing family man.

You had so much still to give, a life you should have lived, a loving family, a friendship (with Dave) that many never experience in their life. It is so unbelievably sad to know you are not here rocking those drums, touring with your band, and beaming that smile.

Tess

Rest in peace Taylor. And thank you for helping with one of worst times in my life. The Foo helped my husband go out with "My Hero" and I am sure this song will be played for you by your family and friends. Hope to meet you on the other side. My thoughts and prayers . ❤ 💔❤

Bonnie Parent

I've been fortunate enough to see you live on a few occasions, including my all-time favourite gig at Hyde Park. Whenever I needed it, your music was always there; in many ways it still is but somehow just that little bit different. Love to all who knew & cared xxx

My dad was a drummer his entire life and had a band called the Adapter's back in the 60's. He went on to play in many other bands throughout his life. He was so impressed by Taylor's skills he would get so pumped listening and watching him. Foo will never be the same. RIP.

I don't want to know this new world without Mr. Taylor Hawkins behind the drums of the best band I've ever known. I am so sad for everyone who knew him but for myself too.
My own picture from the opening of the Anthem in DC 2017. Close enough to have sweat flung on me.

I honestly feel like I’ve lost a family member. It just doesn’t make sense how someone SO full of life and joy is no longer on this earth. My heart is broken, but I can not imagine the pain Dave, Taylor’s family, and the rest of the band are feeling. So much love to you all
