Taylor Hawkins, il batterista dei Foo Fighters, è morto a soli 50 anni nella notte tra il 25 e il 26 febbraio 2022. A darne la notizia è stata la band con un comunicato che ha scioccato il mondo della musica.
Batterista della band di Dave Grohl dal 1997 Taylor Hawkins ha partecipato alle registrazioni di tutti gli album della band a partire da There Is Nothing Left To Lose del 1999 a Medicine At Midnight del 2021.
Da Ozzy Osbourne a Tom Morello fino a Ringo Starr e Travis Barker, le reazioni e i tributi del mondo del rock alla notizia della sua morte:
Taylor Hawkins was a terrific drummer with a gorgeous disposition, seemed always to be having the time of his life. I didn’t know him well but I know music is lessened by his passing, made duller and smaller. Requiescat.
