Taylor Hawkins RIP

[cptaidan88]

Shit news to wake up to.

Not my favourite band but seen them live a few times and it's always a great gig.

RIP

 

[TFC]

Great band, great drummer, shit news to wake up to.

 

[There is a Light]

Been trying to get my daughter into proper music recently and Foo Fighters seemed a decent route in so we’ve been listening to them and watching them on YT. Seemed like a top guy and a brilliant drummer, RIP.

So sad to hear. We went to the Phoenix Festival 1996.
A great Friday line up:

Neil Young and Crazy Horse,
Alanis Morissette,
Manic Street Preachers,
Foo Fighters,
Dodgy,
The Wildhearts,
Beck,
The Flaming Lips,
Ian McNabb
Fun Lovin' Criminals

Foos were on, but Taylor was playing with Alanis Morrisette that day ...
R.I.P.

Didn’t love the Foo’s but I heard this interview with Taylor by Steve Lamacq on radio 6 and it’s pretty hard not to like him.




Poor old Dave Grohl, another best friend and band mate gone too soon, I wonder if he’ll carry on.

This was a great video that’s now pretty heartbreaking - Foo Fighters covering Under Pressure with Rufus Hawking on drums and his dad singing.

 

[Don Karleone]

Absolutely gutted. RIP Taylor

 

[Super David Silva 21]

Devastated. RIP Taylor

 

[Protein Junkie]

Just heard snippets of interviews on absolute radio.
Sounded such a down to earth guy who didn’t take his fame for granted.
A great drummer and big Yes fan too.
RIP Taylor.

Sad news. 50 is way too young, especially with 3 kids.

 

[paulchapo]

Crazy, 50 with no health issues I'm aware of.

RIP Taylor a great drummer and a great man

 

[Zapcity]

Great' proper' Rock drummer drummer, seemed a decent guy and a real character too.
Only time I've actually been on the pitch,
(as opposed to watching things on the pitch) at The City of Manchester Stadium (as it was ) was watching Taylor Hawkins with The Foo Fighters in 2008.
Very sad news, both for his family and for Dave Grohl ( not the first time ,as people have already mentioned.)

 

[OB1]

Shocking news.

Superb drummer and seemed like a great guy.

Got tickets to see The Foos in June - not bothered what happens about the concert - but very sad that we won't get to see Taylor perform again.

Sympathy goes to his family.

RIP

 

[Legal Alien]

Wow! another shocker.....RIP Taylor Hawkins.

I'm not a big fan of the FF's, but watching interviews with Taylor, he seemed like a geniunely nice guy.

 

[burning blue soul]

Sad news. RIP.

 

[Robanompivenov]

Super talented musician. He really hit those drums. Proper gutted by this

 

[abu13]

Some news just hits very hard, this is one of them cases.

Always came across as a great guy and he was an awesome drummer.

Will be greatly missed.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Super talented musician. He really hit those drums. Proper gutted by this

Musician? Drummers?

Next you‘ll be telling us that keepers are footballers.

 

[BimboBob]

Crazy, 50 with no health issues I'm aware of.

Apart from the past history with drugs. No matter how clean you are in later life, that's always going to fuck your body up.

So sad to see him pass, a genuinely nice guy and a great drummer.
