nuckin_futz Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Wow this is a shock. He was only 50. He even had quite a Canadian connection as he was the touring drummer for Sass Jordan and Alanis Morissette before joining the Foo Fighters. From a news article "A cause of death has not yet been released. Foo Fighters had been touring South America and were scheduled to perform at the Festival Estéreo Picnic today (March 25) in Bogota, Colombia. Multiple sources have reported that Hawkins was found dead in his hotel room in Bogota." RIP Taylor. Thanks for the tunes. Hawkins on lead vocals, Dave Grohl on drums, Jimmy Page on guitar and John Paul Jones on bass. Edited March 26, 2022 by nuckin_futz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Gutted, he was one of the modern greats. Hard to think of a more recognizable band or sound over the last twenty or so odd years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Lots of rock stars have seen a member of their bands die suddenly. Don’t know of any that have seen two members of two different bands die suddenly. Best wishes to Dave and the rest of the Foo Fighters who have to live through this. One of my favourite memories from my early adulthood was seeing Dave, Kurt and Chris play at the Commodore in 91 just before they became the biggest band in the world. Poor man having to live through this again. Edited March 26, 2022 by DrJockitch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nux_win Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Obviously condolences to Taylor's family but also to Dave Grohl, the nicest guy in rock music, who has to go through the death of a close friend and bandmate all over again. It's so unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was actually CD release for the Screaming Trees Sweet Oblivion album. Was right after my 19th birthday. Remember it well, the Wongs, Nirvana and the Screaming Trees (who also recently had a tragic loss). The poor Screaming Trees couldn’t do anything to get the crowd back into the show. Lesson number one, don’t follow Nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Damn, I just read this news...awful. So abrupt and shocking. 50 isn't old and he seemed so alive/energetic...wonder wth took him. I remember first really noticing him with Alannis (he was all in as a drummer)....and then to be with the Foo Fighters, his talent was large. Sad...he just played a couple of days ago too.

Fanuck Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Sad news. Love that band. Just watched the replay of the Fighters in Glastonbury the other week and decided to learn 'Everlong' on my acoustic guitar. Gotta feel for Taylor's family and friends. I know he was Grohl's best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
