El 22 de marzo de 2022 Foo Fighters tenía que tocar en Paraguay pero el concierto se suspendió a causa de una tormenta. Esa noche mis padres me ayudaron a llevar mi batería frente al hotel en donde estaban hospedados y toqué ahí hasta que Taylor salió y nos sacamos esta foto.

Still gutted by this. He was love and laughter and life and a force
Of nature behind the drum kit or when he came out front to sing
His beloved Queen or Led Zeppelin. Sending love to his family,
Dave and the Foos and the fans. Unbelievable loss

Taylor is a legend that is so deeply missed. His soul was beautiful and also sadly broken. He is missed beyond measures and the genius musician that he was will continue to be remembered by those of us that love him so dearly. Rest in power sweet Taylor.

My first ever gig was their O2 Arena gig, 19th of September 2017. I went up with my uncle who was also a fan and we drove from Birmingham, and then back from the arena in the early hours because I had to get up for college. Taylor fucking killed it as always. Rest In Peace legend

Taylor, I’m not the greatest drummer. I play lots of instruments, but I’m not a technically skilled drummer. You brought me so much inspiration, however, to just give it all I have to be a kickass rockstar. Thank you!
