This has been the biggest shock this year. Followed the guys for a long time. Taylor was an awesome musician. Had a brilliant voice. Remember watching the Leeds festival when he sang a queen's under pressure. Simply fab. Thoughts and prayers to his family & all FF's family.🙏

The visual introduction to Taylor Hawkins playing drums as a member of Foo Fighters in May of 1997 was a catalyst to a rich life of musical joy and happiness for me.  The amount of joy he and that band have provided millions of humans cannot be taken away.
