Paul Stanley, Ozzy Osbourne, Tom Morello y Geezer Butler están entre los músicos que han reaccionado ante el fallecimiento del baterista de FOO FIGHTERS.
Hawkins murió el viernes (25 de marzo) a la edad de 50 años. La banda confirmó su fallecimiento en un comunicado.
“La familia FOO FIGHTERS está devastada por la trágica y prematura pérdida de nuestra querida Taylor Hawkins”, se lee en el mensaje. “Su espíritu musical y su risa contagiosa vivirán con todos nosotros para siempre”.
“Nuestros corazones están con su esposa, hijos y familia, y pedimos que su privacidad sea tratada con el máximo respeto en este momento inimaginablemente difícil”.
FOO FIGHTERS estaban de gira por Sudamérica en el momento de la muerte de Hawkins y se preparaban para actuar en Bogotá, Colombia, el viernes. El mencionado show ha sido cancelado.
La causa de la muerte de Taylor no ha sido revelada.
Nacido en Fort Worth, Texas, Hawkins se unió a FOO FIGHTERS en 1997. Antes de eso, tocó con la banda SYLVIA del condado de Orange y también formó parte de la banda de acompañamiento de Sass Jordan. También realizó una gira con Alanis Morissette como su baterista.
Hawkins fue inducido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll el año pasado como miembro de FOO FIGHTERS.
El trabajo más reciente de Hawkins con FOO FIGHTERS incluyó el álbum “Medicine At Midnight” del año pasado, una colección de versiones de BEE GEES y la película de terror “Studio 666” de FOO FIGHTERS .
El proyecto en solitario de Hawkins, TAYLOR HAWKINS AND THE COATTAIL RIDERS, lanzó su primer álbum en 2006, seguido de “Get The Money”, en 2019. Otros proyectos paralelos incluyeron THE BIRDS OF SATAN y la banda de covers de rock clásico CHEVY METAL. Más recientemente, formó el supergrupo NHC con los miembros de JANE’S ADDICTION, Dave Navarro y Chris Chaney.
Hawkins pasó dos semanas en coma en 2001 después de una sobredosis en Londres. ¡Más tarde le dijo a la revista Kerrang!: “Cada uno tiene su propio camino y lo llevé demasiado lejos, agregando que alguna vez creyó en el “mito de vivir duro y rápido, morir joven”.
“No estoy aquí para predicar sobre no consumir drogas, porque me encantaba consumir drogas, pero me descontrolé por un tiempo y casi me atrapa”, dijo.
En una entrevista de 2018 con Beats 1, dijo: “No hay un final feliz con las drogas duras”, pero se negó a dar más detalles sobre su sobriedad. “Realmente no discuto cómo vivo mi vida en ese sentido”, dijo. “Tengo mi sistema que funciona para mí”.
A Hawkins le sobreviven su esposa Alison, con quien se casó en 2005, y sus tres hijos: Oliver Shane, Annabelle y Everleigh.
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…

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?
