The band released an official statement confirming the death of their drummer, who passed away at the age of 50.
"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins," the post on X reads, adding, "His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time."

During his recent interview with MOJO Magazine, he shared how Hawkin’s sudden passing made him "question everything about life."
“Losing Taylor was never meant to be,” he told the outlet. "That threw our world upside down. It was so unfair.”
