Taylor Hawkins: Questions about the cause of death move fans worldwide

Taylor Hawkins is dead. The Foo Fighters drummer was only 50 years old. The news shook the entire music world and fans of the band on Saturday morning (March 26, 2022). And many ask themselves: What happened to the drummer that he died so suddenly?

The Foo Fighters have not yet revealed what caused their longtime friend to die. Details on the cause of death are therefore not yet available. One only knows: the group is currently on tour in South America, had planned further performances and was ready to travel to the rest of the world again this summer after Corona. Therefore, in addition to sudden health problems, an accident is also an option. Ultimately, the family and band will decide if and when it’s time to release more details about Taylor Hawkins’ death.

Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins had a special connection to each other. The two musicians were friends for many years and went through good and bad times. A turning point in Hawkins’ life was a heroin overdose in 2001 after a night out in London. The musician, who played drums with the Foo Fighters for four years at the time, fell into a coma for several weeks. It is not known to what extent his body sustained long-term damage. The drummer has kept fit in recent years with mountain biking, among other things.
