Yeah, got tickets for that gig too. Will be the umpteenth time I’ve seen them. Like you say, not arsed whether it goes ahead or not but going forward, I’m struggling to see how he can be replaced as he really was that good. Bands often fill the void after the death of a member and carry on but it won’t feel the same watching the Foos without Taylor around.
RIP a fantastic musician and a top bloke.
Fucking hell. At aged 50.and with kids you'd think he'd have known better and got the wild days out of his system.

Having a heart twice the size of a normal adult, heroin and other opiods are the key here sadly.Antidepressants might be the key here. Perhaps he was having mental health struggles and trying to medicate those. Being a rich famous rock star doesn't preclude you from being depressed, for instance. All sorts of possibilities but the truth will ou; however, it won't change the fact this is a sad situation.
Not the key as to why he was using them, the anti depressants point to the why.Having a heart twice the size of a normal adult, heroin and other opiods are the key here sadly.
I felt the same when Brian Johnson left ACDC albeit temporarily and he was replaced by Axel Rose, it didn't feel right and he was n't the right lead vocalist for the band. I appreciate replacing a drummer and a lead vocalist is different, but for all Foofighter fans Taylor was a god and to some extent irreplaceable.Foos have had a few differnt members but Taylor was such a key member and not many drummers are going to step and sing Queen songs; unless they are Roger Taylor.
Of course there are some great drummers that could be drafted in but it wouldn't be the same.
I'm going to see The Rolling Stones a few days before the Foos' gig is scheduled and that will be a bit odd without Charlie being there.
So young, could happened to any of us (if we were completely off our tits on over half a dozen class A’s in Columbia)Fucking hell. At aged 50.and with kids you'd think he'd have known better and got the wild days out of his system.

I was due to see them again in June but I do wonder if we’ll ever see the Foos perform again unless it’s some sort of tribute for Taylor.. With what happened to Nirvana I wonder if Dave Grohl might call it a day band wise..I felt the same when Brian Johnson left ACDC albeit temporarily and he was replaced by Axel Rose, it didn't feel right and he was n't the right lead vocalist for the band.

Really feel for Dave Grohl, the Foos were such a tight knit, close band. This will be very hard to come back from and like yourself I can see them calling it a day.I was due to see them again in June but I do wonder if we’ll ever see the Foos perform again unless it’s some sort of tribute for Taylor..

The same for Rush since “The Professor” Neil Peart died.. I don’t think they’ll ever perform again (unless I’ve missed something)

Heroin and opioids?
Did he also have marijuana and weed and ganja?
That doesn't sound like a particularly scientific report, and if he was antidepressants he could have been on a cocktail of prescribed stuff.
Probably best to wait for the full results including amounts to come out from the coroner.
Toxicology reports can take weeks. There will have been a quick urine test undertaken so far.It's an ongoing relevant thread so people are posting stuff as it breaks.
Stuff like tramadol and that shows up differently in basic tox tests. Heroin shows as diamorphineHeroin and opioids?

They are both opioids, no serious publication would make that mistake - The BBC didn't for example.
I don't know where paulchapo pulled that as he didn't link, but it wasn't a good source.
It's also all irrelevent without knowing the amounts. THC can hang around for a month in urine, so without knowing amounts all we know is he had a spliff at some point over the last month. Some newspapers are reporting benzodiazepines are one of the drugs, they stick around for 6 weeks.
It's a nice scandalous story to say 10 drugs were in his system, but it's not responsible journalism.
Depends on how each jurisdiction reports drugs. The presence of 6-MAM is the detection of heroin, but heroin also produces other by products such as codeine and morphine.Heroin and opioids?

I'm not really a Foo Fighters fan, but am I right in saying Taylor Hawkins was only the touring drummer and not part of the recording/ writing band ? If so it's not really the same as Neil Peart. Although how Dave Grohl moves on will be down to how he feels.I was due to see them again in June but I do wonder if we’ll ever see the Foos perform again unless it’s some sort of tribute for Taylor..
