Together they will play songs that Hawkins loved and brought to life, according to the official press release. Hawkins’ widow Alison also spoke up. “My deepest thanks and admiration go out to the Foo Fighters community and Taylor’s fans far and wide,” she wrote. The fans were very important to her late husband, with every performance he wanted to “knock the audience out of their socks”. “Taylor’s loving spirit and love of music will live on forever,” she added.
The Foo Fighters were touring South America when Hawkins passed away. The band then canceled their remaining concerts. They wanted to use the time to “rest” and “heal,” they explained. Musicians from all over the world quickly expressed their condolences. Liam Gallagher dedicated the song “Live Forever” to Hawkins on his tour, Elton John sang “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” for the late drummer and Pearl Jam also commemorated Hawkins during a performance. “He was someone who really loved living,” said Eddie Vedder. So at least you could say he never wasted moments. “He lived his life to the full.”
