On Friday, the Foo Fighters’ unexpectedly lost their drummer Taylor Hawkins, 50. Today, the band gave an update on their future concert that were supposed to start in May.
It is with great sadness that Foo Fighters confirm the cancellation of all upcoming tour dates in light of the staggering loss of our brother Taylor Hawkins. We’re sorry for and share in the disappointment that we won’t be seeing one another as planned. Instead, let’s take this time to grieve, to heal, to pull our loved ones close, and to appreciate all the music and memories we’ve made together.
Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, and Rami Jaffee’s decision is entirely understandable. They need the time to heal and mourn their friend with whom they have spent more time with than their own families.
