Taylor Hawkins

The husband, father and Orange County native was supposed to perform with Foo Fighters in Bogotá, Colombia, on Friday night at the Festival Estéreo Picnic.

He also decided the tempo on his solo work and his side projects, of which there are many. But those flames could never be a match for the wattage Hawkins produced behind the kit with his drumming prowess and a grin so wide you could practically feel both in the nosebleeds of an arena. “Rope,” off the 2011 album “Wasting Light,” is one of those songs where Hawkins’ performance is so burned into my brain that it takes a minute to recall the vocal melody.

Taylor Hawkins, for 25 years the drummer for Foo Fighters and best friend of frontman Dave Grohl, has died during a South American tour with the rock band.

“I am not afraid to say that our chance meeting was a kind of love at first sight, igniting a musical ‘twin flame’ that still burns to this day,” Grohl wrote in his book. Hawkins and the other members of the band are killed off one by one. Hawkins told The Associated Press in 2019 that his early drumming influences included Stewart Copeland of The Police, Roger Taylor from Queen, and Phil Collins, who he said was “one of my favorite drummers ever. “The world was so lucky to have his gifts for the time that it did.” He would, however, go on to pound out epic versions of it hundreds of times as the climax of Foo Fighters’ concerts. The premise came out of their work on their 10th studio album at a home in Los Angeles. I didn’t sound exactly like him, I sound like me, but he was a big, huge influence.” Grohl called Hawkins, who was a huge Foo Fighters fan and immediately accepted. “We are absolutely meant to be, and I am grateful that we found each other in this lifetime.” Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana when Kurt Cobain died in 1994. Hawkins was Alanis Morrissette’s touring drummer when he joined Foo Fighters in 1997. “Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family.”

No cause of death was given by the group, who were supposed to perform at a music festival in South America on the day Hawkins died.

“The world was so lucky to have his gifts for the time that it did.” Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana when Kurt Cobain died in 1994. “The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins,” the statement reads.
