Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins dead

So sad to hear this, nothing out on the cause of death besides that they were on tour in South America. Great drummer and a tremendous loss.

RIP Taylor😥

Found unresponsive is what I read. So sad. Many people on twitter were commenting that they just saw them in concert days/weeks ago and he was full of energy and seemed very vibrant and healthy.

So sad. Is he the latest victim of the clot shot? I don't know. Knowing that won't bring him back. But damn, I do wonder.

This band was heavy into the covit kool-aid, even demanding their attendees be fully jabbed.
Good riddance. At least he won't starve like they have in mind for the rest of us.

Found in hotel room. How cliché and sad.

Lame!

I guess we are on the clock. Bad day today. Life is F*ucked

Devastated. You will be missed Taylor.

Glad I got to see you and the Fooz in concert a few years back. A bucket list item.

So people with a different opinion to you are better off dead?

How very tolerant of you. Do you wish harm on other people often?

Shocked and saddened by this news , Taylor was a great and talented drummer.

First saw him when he was part of Alanis Morissette's band in 97 , as much as I loved Alanis I was transfixed by the drummer who seemed to be all hair and teeth and power , like me he used Zildjian Z symbols which I knew had lifetime guarantees yet unlike me Taylor managed to break one on stage due to his power ... respect was earned that day.

Taylor Hawkins is one of my all time favourite drummers , saw him a couple of times with the Foo's and he always impressed.

Thoughts go out to Dave and Taylor's family on this tragic day.


RiP Brother.

Man this is Gut-wrenching news.

The world lost a talented drummer and may he rest in peace.

I lost £20 the other day, I blame the jab. Same when I missed my train, bloody jab.

Covid is known to cause damage to the heart, lungs and brain but nope, it’s the jab. Even when it’s later shown that some people dying suddenly haven’t actually had the jab. Did they lose £20 I wonder?

Worked a gig with them last summer. They were over 2 hours late, due to the TSA. While I am not a fan? They did put on a good show.

No cause of death given.
It can be a suicide, a drug overdose or I am afraid to say a silent heart attack out of the blue from a series of injection which have caused numerous deaths even to healthy athletes.
In my dentist they have no defibrillators. Never seen this in my 50+ years. And they don't even do knock out gas.

Just saying the jibjab is a valid possibility. Considering they would tell us if it was suicide or an overdose, they don't hold back on those normally.

Oh man.

Sad to hear.
I understand he's fought his demons over the years. Glad to have gotten a chance to hear him while the time was short.

Here's my favorite remake. Has a great montage of behind the scenes clips showing the great friendship Dave and Taylor had. Dave was a big help trying to keep Taylor sober.

Here's Sammy Hagar interviewing Dave and Taylor. It's 3 years old and does briefly touch base on sobriety.

Probably drugs again.
I’ve read headlines that someone has died and many times my reaction is a bit of shock. This time it’s was more like hearing that someone has passed that you already knew was dying.

Drugs were my first thought. They get so many of the musical celebs. It's sad that they're a demon you can't shake easily, and then they creep back when you're under the pressure of constant travel and performance and the odd hours a tour demands. It's like you're setting yourself up for failure to keep at it, but how many of them can stop?
