Taylor Hawkins: Foo Fighters’ drummer dies aged 50
The band said they were “devastated” by the loss of Hawkins, who has drummed with them since 1997. …
Born in Texas but raised in California, Hawkins had the affable, easy-going demeanour of a surfer dude. He was introduced to music by his brother and started out playing guitar but, inspired by Roger Taylor of Queen and Stewart Copeland of The Police, he soon switched to drums.
