Over the weekend, another inductee into Rock and Roll Heaven joined, with the sudden death of Foo Fighter's drummer Taylor Hawkins. He died Friday in Bogotá , Columbia, at the age of 50. Investigations into cause of death are ongoing at this time.
Because I already had my Monday Music Moves Me post written, I am going to do a short tribute to Hawkins today.
Here are a couple of live performances that highlight Hawkins' talents on the drums.
This live performance of Stacked Actors includes a great drum solo.
Here, Hawkins proves he can also sing, which he does when John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page join the Foo Fighters to perform the Led Zeppelin classic Rock and Roll. (David Grohl is on drums for this song.)
Taylor Hawkins, RIP.
...I know little about him, but his end seemed rather screwed up!
ReplyDeleteSo sad, he was way too young to die.
ReplyDeleteMy local radio station spent yesterday doing a tribute to him. They called in their biggest on-air personalities (on a Saturday). Sad news.
ReplyDeleteAgain, too young.
