As we all know, Foo Fighters lost one of its members last year, but will return to touring this year. Taylor Hawkins, the band’s drummer lost his life while on tour. Today it has been announced that the Foo Fighters, led by Dave Grohl, obviously still miss their late drummer.
As per Yahoo, The Foo Fighters pay homage to their late drummer on what would have been his 51st birthday this Friday (Feb. 17). “Miss you so much,” is seen on an Instagram post featuring a picture of Hawkins looking directly into the camera with a half-smile on his face and drum kit in the background.

In a New Year’s Eve post the band posted a heartfelt message about the challenges of 2022 while providing a peek into their future. “As we say goodbye to the most difficult and tragic year that our band has ever known, we are reminded of how thankful we are for the people that we love and cherish most, and for the loved ones who are no longer with us,” the Foos began their statement on Twitter for twits.
“Foo Fighters were formed 27 years ago to represent the healing power of music and a continuation of life. And for the past 27 years out fans have built a worldwide community, a devoted support system that has helped us all get through the darkest of times together. A place to share our joy and our pain, our hopes and fears, and to join in a chorus of life together through music. Without Taylor, we never would have become the band that we were – and without Taylor, we know that we’re going to be a different band going forward.”
