Emergency responders received a report Friday evening about a patient with chest pain at a hotel north of the city, according to a statement from Bogotá's secretary of health. He had released solo material under his own name and with Taylor Hawkins & the Coattail Riders, in which Hawkins sang lead and played drums. The band released three albums, most recently 2019's "Get the Money."

Taking curves faster than we would ever dare, drummers are music's Formula 1 drivers, living at an unhealthy velocity.

Hawkins himself told Kerrang! magazine in 2019 that he had bought into the “live hard and fast, die young” myth. Historically, there’s a sexiness to the tragic demise of rock stars. And the expiry dates of rocks stars are different from the rest of ours. “The secret life of the touring drummer is that they burn three times the calories per day that everybody else does, but they also keep up in the party and sleeplessness departments,” Workman says. A rock star who embraced the hedonistic lifestyle offered to him on a platter, he was also known for gestures of sincere, simple humanness. According to a statement from the Colombia Attorney General’s Office, preliminary toxicological tests showed a variety of psychoactive substances and medicines in Hawkins’s system.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins confirmed that Prince Harry smacked him in the face once. Here's why and how Hawkins reacted.

“And he went, ‘Are you awake now?’ And I’m like ‘Yeah.’” Hawkins added: “I mean I got slapped in the face by the prince. But in the moment I was like ‘He f***ing slapped me.’” We were doing a show in some ambassador’s backyard or something, and [Harry] walked in and he had a bunch of his people around him.

Sadly, Taylor Hawkins of the band the Foo Fighters has died at age 50. What was his cause of death? Here's everything we know so far.

An inter-band dispute led the original Foo Fighters drummer, William Goldsmith, to exit the band shortly after their breakthrough album "The Colour and the Shape" was recorded. Per Rolling Stone, the band released a message announcing Taylor's death on the evening of March 25. The band is currently on tour in South America and was scheduled to perform at a music festival in Colombia. Taylor's death at such a young age has fans curious about the cause.

The drummer died with 10 different substances in his body, including marijuana, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines.

Marijuana is often used for medicinal purposes to treat a range of symptoms and illnesses. But it can also produce unpleasant sensations, such as anxiety, paranoia or trouble with thinking and solving problems, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA.) Marijuana contains hundreds of substances, including THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for many of the drug's mind-altering effects. Benzodiazepines are a class of depressant drugs that produce sedation and hypnosis and are used to treat anxiety, muscle spasms, seizure disorders and some sleep disorders, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. This can increase the risk of a heroin overdose—a life-threatening and potentially fatal reaction to the drug that can cause the user's breathing to slow or stop. The consumption of marijuana can result in a feeling of euphoria and relaxation, which is why it is a popular recreational drug.

But the two kept bumping into each other “back stage at festivals around the world,” as Grohl wrote in his 2021 autobiography, The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music. “Our chemistry was so obvious that even Alanis herself once asked him, ‘What are you going to do when Dave asks you to be his drummer?’ Part Beavis and Butthead, part Dumb and Dumber, we were a hyperactive blur of Parliament Lights and air drumming wherever we went.” As so many have said, in so many ways over the weekend, in poignant tributes to Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins, who sadly passed away at age 50 on Friday — you’d better be damned good.

“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 premise came out of their work on their 10th studio album at a home in Los Angeles. “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. 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 Morissette’s touring drummer when he joined Foo Fighters in 1997. “Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family.”
