RIP. If memory serves me right he had a few issues with drugs in the past. Great shame. Great drummer.

RIP. If memory serves me right he had a few issues with drugs in the past. Great shame. Great drummer. Yes heroin and possibly alcohol problems in the past, was a good singer too often used to sing a queen song the many times I saw them was in Alannis Morrisette jagged little pill band before joining the foos from their second album. Quite weird I was in america when the foos first single / album started to break and one station we were listening to had a cease and desist order to stop playing their promo copy ahead of time, seems a lifetime ago ! RIP

Worked with him extensively when he was with Alainis.
Beautiful man. Phenomenal drummer. Dave’s best friend and partner in crime.
Terrible shock to wake up to.
Not sure where I’m going when all this is over but there’s going to be a really good band there.
R.I.P

Sad news saw him just after joined them in late 90s , I gave up watching them when they got huge, wasn't enjoying as much but a hell of a drummer and singer and when they did the Rush tribute a few years ago was very special . He had clearly had addiction issues but a very sad loss. RIP

Really sad news. By the sounds of it he was one of the good guys.
A phenomenal drummer. Probably the best I have seen live. But was he even the best drummer in the Foo Fighters?

Genuinely gutted love that band.
RIP Taylor Hawkins a fantastic drummer.
Can’t imagine being a drummer and losing your front man, then becoming the front man only to lose your drummer… peace be with you Dave Grohl

Saw them live at Leeds in 2019 and didn't know too much about the Foo Fighters but Taylor was very charismatic. A very sad loss.

Had the pleasure of seeing Foos 6 times, the last time Wembley 2008.
Had tickets for Villa park, selfishly I’m hoping they continue with the shows and use guest drummers as a tribute for Taylor?
Highly doubt it though, it looks like narcotics got him, I’m amazed how Ozzy is still alive or Nikki Sixx the bassist of Motley Crue.
His book the heroin diaries is a crazy read & he died 3 or more times but was saved.

His book the heroin diaries is a crazy read & he died 3 or more times but was saved. I remember reading an article in National Geographic that Osbourne had a genetic mutation that allowed him to metabolise drink and drugs at something like x4 the rate of the average punter. Nikki Sixx did at least have the good sense to knock it on the head when he was about 40 and has been clean for the past two decades.

Didn’t know about Ozzy, looking at Nikki now he is completely clean and in amazing condition for his age. The amount of drugs he’s done, I find it remarkable that he looks that good. Unfortunately the perils of drugs has taken some good people over the years, in showbiz and even a friend. Hopefully Taylor’s passing doesn’t have any serious repercussions (mentally) for the rest of the band.
