Taylor Hawkins

It has been almost 3 months and still in disbelief. I haven't done so much drumming in my life. You made me a better drummer...wanting to be like you, I tried to play like you. You were one of a kind and will always be loved and missed. See you on the other side and play hard!

In the words of Dr Seuss “Don’t cry because it’s over smile because it happened’. I cried over his loss but grateful to have shared witness of the light of a great human living his dream!! May his family & friends know how fortunate they are to have had Taylor in their lives.

The Foo Fighters were the sound track to my teenage years and beyond. I'll never forget being 17, clinging onto the railings at my first Foo's gig with my best friend. Thank you Taylor for those memories and for the music. I hope you knew how much you meant to so many x

Liz

I gotta say your music saved me. I was in an awful place and it was the foo fighters who helped me. Taylor brought and delivered some incredible music to all of us and we are more then grateful to them. You will be dearly missed Taylor. Thank you so much for helping me.

Gloria

In 98 I attended a show. You stopped the performance an proceeded to inflect human goodness an kindness by getting a woman out of the crowd that was in a bad situation. I came away knowing there are good ppl out there. You will be missed an my sympathies to your loved one’s.

Foo Fighters are the reason I wanted to learn how to play the drums. Taylor is the reason I wanted to get a set of Tama Starclassics whenever I could afford them. I hope you're at peace, wherever you are.

It still feels unreal—my deepest condolences to his family and friends. When I think about him, I first remember the following photo I took after the show in November 1997 in Hamburg. It was so windy and cold, so Taylor waited freezing for the bus inside the building.

Stephan

These 2 tribute concerts are going to be bittersweet. I won’t be attending either but will be watching live on internet eating KFC and drinking champagne. I know the FF and all the artists, will have a blast even under the circumstances because that’s what T would expect.
