Meanwhile, earlier this month Foo Fighters hosted a tribute concert for their late drummer Taylor Hawkins at London’s Wembley Stadium (a second tribute show is planned for L.A. at Kia Forum on September 27 ’22).
The show was packed with powerhouse musicians; sets from Queen, Liam Gallagher, Them Crooked Vultures, AC/DC’s Brian Johnson with Metallica’s Lars Ulrich. And of course, Foo Fighters banged out a set too.
The night saw a few other guests; Blink 182’s Travis Barker, 12 year old prodigy Nandi Bushell and Hawkins’ 16 year old son Shane Hawkins.
Hawkins died in Bogotá, Columbia on March 25, ’22. He was 50 years old.
Who do you think will be the new drummer of Foo Fighters? Any guesses?
