The Foo Fighters have announced the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins at age 50.
“The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins,” the statement reads. “His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever.
Hawkins joined the Foo Fighters in 1997, after a stint playing in Alanis Morissette’s band on the Can’t Not tour supporting her juggernautset. With Morissette in between album cycles and then-Foo Fighters drummer William Goldsmith leaving the band in the midst of a spat with their producer Gil Norton, Hawkins jumped at the chance to join the band.
The Foo Fighters were scheduled to perform Friday night in Bogotá, Colombia, as part of Festival Estéreo Picnic, an annual rock fest considered one of the biggest festivals in South America. According to
