Taylor Hawkins

I watched countless videos of Taylor killing it on the drums and speaking about life. Unfortunately, I was not able to witness the legend himself, live in person. I had tickets for this years tour and was excited to watch him. May he rest easy, prayers to all family and friends.

Taylor,

It hurts to see you go, it's like loosing a brother I never knew. You and the Foo's created a world of music that has helped carry me through my life. I was so close to seeing you live in May. You'll live on through your music, family, friends, and fans!

Rest easy

T, nunca esquecerei o sorriso, a voz, a forma descomplicada de agir, falar. Nunca esquecerei o ritmo - o corpo todo, a 'persona', tudo era ritmo. E a luz!, nunca esquecerei essa luz. continua a iluminar-nos a todos, sim? deixaste tanta saudade. ♥

Oh Taylor. You've left broken 💔 all over the world. You are the bright light shining. Hold your brother David close. You are missed.

You are the reason I love the FF, you blew my mind watching you & your big cheesy grin. I couldn't believe my luck when I finally got tickets for the UK tour opening in Manchester in June 😭😭. My heart breaks for your family, FF & your friends. ❤ u Taylor 💔

To never see your big grin or hear your unmistakable groove and your angelic voice hurts the most. FF fans are different, we're family. To see Taylor just go forever puts a hurt so bad on our hearts, as if we just lost the closest family member. Rest easy brother Taylor. 🦅❤️

In 1998 my dad took me to see the Foos at the Wellington Town Hall in NZ. I was 12 and it was my first ever rock concert. Needless to say the experience left an impression that changed me forever. Thank you for all the joy you have brought us through music. RIP Taylor

I met Taylor so randomly on New Years Eve 2003 at the
House of Blues in LA. I couldn’t believe it we were just standing next to each other and I looked at him and me being a huge fan I just said
“What’s Up, and Happy New Year” he was so cool to me and it meant the world to me

I was listening to music in my car. One day I played My Hero repeatedly 4x. The other day I had my playlist on and came across Kalapana’s “Naturally”, and it immediately reminded me of Taylor. Listen to the lyrics! It’s such a beautiful song! Taylor is flying “Naturally “!

I grew up in a home that listened to everything from Nana Mouskouri to Celtic Music to Peruvian tribal music - I had to find stuff like ska, punk, rap, and rock on my own. With all that said, Foo is my desert island band and my condolences to the Hawkins family, band, and fans.

I was at a Thundercat gig just after the news broke, and he told a story all too familiar to many drummers such as myself around the world. A story of watching recordings of Taylor Hawkins & Alanis, blowing literally everyone away. He was an inspiration to a generation.

Dear Taylor, Had the chance to meet you, interview and the band. Year 99. They kicked us out of Pacha for being naughty. We ended at lady pepa.You were SUNSHINE.You were pure light. You became GENIUS. I cried so much still am. Not fair. 🥲
