I'm devastated about Taylor's passing, but I can't imagine the pain Dave, the band and his family and friends are suffering right now. RIP Legend. You are so, so very missed.

[pamcamcris]

Rest in peace, Taylor. He was one of the most charismatic drummers in the industry. He will definitely be missed.

RIP Taylor Hawkins
It’s a shame how many of that generation’s musicians have passed, even in recent years (RIP Mark Lanegan and Chris Cornell).

Taylor Hawkins was always such a humble and loving friend to Dave, as Dave was to Taylor. “I thought it was really cool” 🥺 Taylor was always by Dave’s side in interviews, all these years. As talented as they both are, I think fans love them for their personalities. They are so respectful towards each other. True brothers through and through 💙

My image of the Foo Fighters is, Dave singing his heart out and right behind him, Taylor going crazy on the drums.
The realization that we will never see that again, truly upsets me.

[devil_pls]

Man I did not expect this to happen. Its really so sad. I am not even a big Foo Fighters fan but Taylor always seemed like a very charismatic guy in interviews. I hope he rests easy, where ever he is right now.

[oriondavidtorres]

I just saw him perform five days ago in Lollapalooza Buenos Aires, I’m still shocked he’s gone now but very present in all of our hearts ♥️ RIP Taylor

[regularsteven]

Rest in rock heaven Taylor. Such a wonderful force. Thanks for posting conan

[alexcrawford]

God, I am still so shocked and saddened to hear the news about Taylor. So untimely. RIP to one of the greatest of all time and a true legend of music, as well as a wonderful human being 😢

[mikeobrien]

RIP Taylor Hawkins. I can't even imagine how Dave is feeling right now. Taylor was his best friend.

[chrisj]

What a loss for rock. Foo fighters are one of the last big bands to break through, and Taylor was so so vital to who they are.
What a loss, who would have known he was hurting inside and he wanted to feel right inside to such a degree that he took it too far.
Taylor, what a good man.

God rest your soul brother, and may the pain the people close to you are going through, please find healing, love, and knowledge from your loved ones.
We love you, and are here mourning with you together.
God bless all those who Taylor has touched.

[nickblinko]

Rock in peace legend. I remember you singing Somebody to Love while Dave drummed. Awesome talent.

[matthewwayne]

This is absolutely heart breaking …..

Vinnie Paul, Neil, Joey …
And now Taylor … Heaven has gained another drummer for their summer 2022 European tour featuring Jimi Hendrix on lead and Freddie on the mic

Rest easy, Taylor ..

[SUB_XERO]

RIP Taylor Hawkins. One of the most talented, humble, down to earth drummers in Rock N’ Roll.

[necolegreer]

Was really sad to hear about Taylor today. Rest in Peace, friend, and love and support to his wife and children, and obviously to Dave, who I'm sure is going to miss him terribly. All you have to do is watch any video with the two of them to see that they were truly the best of friends.

[alexcorll]

Shocking to wake up to the news of Taylors passing. RIP

[elle]

These guys are so genuine...love hearing what they have to say...RIP Taylor...

[joenaccomusic]

Andy is comedy gold, like silent Bob.

[amyelizabeth]

What the what? Gutted. Taylor, you were an outstanding drummer, singer, performer, band mate, friend, husband and daddy. My heart breaks for all those who loved him, and there were so many. 💔
