È morto all’età di 50 anni il batterista dei FOO FIGHTERS Taylor Hawkins.
La band ha confermato la sua scomparsa in una dichiarazione ieri sera (venerdì 25 marzo).
“La famiglia dei FOO FIGHTERS è devastata dalla tragica e prematura scomparsa del nostro amato Taylor Hawkins”, si legge nel messaggio. “Il suo spirito musicale e la sua risata contagiosa vivranno con tutti noi per sempre.
“I nostri cuori vanno a sua moglie, ai suoi figli e alla sua famiglia e chiediamo che la loro privacy sia trattata con il massimo rispetto in questo momento molto difficile”.
I FOO FIGHTERS erano in tournée in Sud America al momento della morte di Taylor Hawkins e si stavano preparando per esibirsi a Bogotà, in Colombia, venerdì. Quello spettacolo è stato cancellato.
La causa della morte di Taylor non è stata rivelata.
Di seguito le reazioni dei rockers:
Thank you Taylor..
Thank you for always having the biggest warmest smile on your face and for lighting up every room with your infectious energy and good vibes.

At BottleRock recently, I had the best seat in the house right above you and once again stood in amazement watching as you effortlessly steered Foo Fighters through a two hour festival set with the perfect balance of swing, swagger, bounce and insane chops.

Your phone call a week ago touched and inspired me and I will always be appreciative for you championing our community as in your parting words….
“Drummers stick together!”
Damn right brother.
Except now the community is lesser without you.
Rest In Peace…

Speechless and Gutted. Taylor was a great guy, a dad and a husband. My heart goes out to them, Dave and the band. What awful news. https://t.co/uQdl04etlp

I’ve seen a lot of live bands in my time and I can honestly say that I have never seen a drummer and guitar player interact in a more jovial, genuine, and entertaining way than how @taylorhawkins and #DaveGrohl did.
One of the best in history. Devastated. #RIPTaylorHawkins

Crushing news ?
Never met but admired greatly, his kindness & earnestness was contagious even from afar & such a talent - few could drum for #DaveGrohl (who has now suffered two losses of key members of historic bands). And this?
RIP #TaylorHawkins ??https://t.co/1S2IrK8XYa https://t.co/ecmA6DQrz6 pic.twitter.com/En8fTPAeL9

If you want to know Taylor Hawkins a bit better, I highly recommend watching the Foo Fighters doc, Back and Forth & the Alanis Morrisette doc, Jagged. What a beautiful guy.
