Fallece Taylor Hawkins, baterista de la banda de rock Foo Fighters durante un cuarto de siglo, a los 50 años.
También coprotagonizó “Studio 666”, la película de terror cómico estrenada recientemente por el grupo en la que una fuerza demoníaca presente en una casa en la que se alojan posee a Grohl y lo convierte en un asesino. La premisa para el filme surgió cuando trabajaban en su 10mo álbum de estudio en una casa en San Fernando Valley, Los Ángeles. “No tengo miedo de decir que nuestro encuentro fortuito fue una especie de amor a primera vista, que encendió una ‘llama gemela’ musical que sigue ardiendo hasta hoy”, escribió Grohl en su libro. La gente se olvida de que era un gran baterista además de un tipo simpático vestido con suéteres en los 80, pobrecito”. “Mi batería estaba colocada como la suya, todo el set”, señaló Hawkins a la AP. “En aquel momento yo aún era una especie de imitador. La banda dijo en un comunicado el viernes que su muerte era una “pérdida trágica y prematura”. Hawkins era el baterista de las giras de Alanis Morrissette hasta que se unió a Foo Fighters en 1997. “Estábamos absolutamente destinados, y estoy agradecido de que nos hayamos encontrado en esta vida”. No sonaba exactamente como él, yo sonaba como yo, pero era una gran, una enorme influencia”. Foo Fighters tenía programada una actuación en un festival en Bogotá, Colombia, el viernes en la noche. Grohl respondió diciéndole que se callase. “Nuestros corazones están con su esposa, sus hijos y su familia”.
Colombian authorities are investigating the death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
"Besides, the entity sends its message of condolences to the family, colleagues and followers." "We are devastated to hear of the passing of Taylor Hawkins, our thoughts are with his loved ones and fans," Emma Sofía and her parents said in a statement on Instagram. "We will remember him for his charisma and the beautiful gesture he had with Emma. Taylor gave us something to believe in." According to Emma Sofía's Instagram, she dreamed of one day playing "The Pretender" alongside the Foo Fighters in Paraguay. On Friday night, she had a chance to perform the song live in front of a large crowd. "I’ve heard everything he’s done as a composer too, as a soloist, and it seems incredible to me," Rodríguez said in Spanish. "A musician, a composer with a lot of creativity, a complete soul is lost, a soul in music, popular rock, I’m shocked, in shock.” Ricardo Rodríguez, a Colombian drummer, said he "grew up listening to Foo Fighters and Taylor Hawkins." Bogotá's emergency center sent an ambulance to the hotel after receiving reports of "a patient with chest pains," according to the Spanish-language press release.
He was on tour with the band in South America when he died unexpectedly.
“I was a fat, chubby, stupid kid who [failed] at everything and that nobody liked,” he said in 2000. “Everyone has their own path, and I took it too far,” he told Kerrang, a music website, last year. He was also in several side projects, including the “Dee Gees” (a Foo Fighters knockoff of the Bee Gees), and recorded several albums as leader of Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders and a metal cover band called Chevy Metal. “I went over to his little house in Topanga Canyon,” Grohl told Entertainment Weekly last year, “he sat down and played for three seconds, and the first time he hit a snare drum, I knew it. He appeared in many Foo Fighters’ videos, including one in which he was dressed as a female flight attendant. While making the album “The Colour and the Shape” (1997), which contained one of the Foo Fighters’ biggest hits, “ Everlong,” Grohl dismissed his drummer and played the drum parts himself. Mr. Hawkins admitted that “technically I think [Grohl is] better than me” on drums, but he anchored seven Foo Fighters albums, all of which were certified platinum. A new album, “ Medicine at Midnight,” was released in February and is up for three Grammys this year. He brought a strength and complexity to the drums, influenced by Queen’s Roger Taylor, Stewart Copeland of the Police and Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction. Mr. Hawkins contributed to all 12 of the band’s Grammy-winning performances. Grohl, who had been the drummer in Kurt Cobain’s seminal grunge band Nirvana, was launching the Foo Fighters after Cobain’s death by suicide in 1994. After Grohl, he was perhaps the group’s most recognizable member, known for his humor, his flying mane of blond hair and his inventive, dynamic style of playing the drums.

El talentoso baterista de Foo Fighters se unió a la banda en 1997. Desde entonces se ganó la admiración de millones de fans y el respeto de legendarios ...
Pero, inspirado por Roger Taylor de la banda Queen y Stewart Copeland, de The Police, pronto adoptó la batería. "Para empezar, no lo habrían tenido en la banda si no tuviera las habilidades necesarias. La banda debía presentarse el viernes por la noche en el festival Estéreo Picnic, en Bogotá, Colombia, antes de que se anunciara la trágica noticia. Foo Fighters se encontraba de gira en América del Sur al momento de la muerte de Hawkins. Se inspiró en artistas de Reino Unido y en casi todos los conciertos de Foo Fighters emergía de detrás de la batería para cantar una canción de su banda favorita, Queen. En 2021, Foo Fighters fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll.
The husband, father and Orange County native was supposed to perform with Foo Fighters in Bogotá, Colombia, on Friday night at the Festival Estéreo Picnic.
He also decided the tempo on his solo work and his side projects, of which there are many. But those flames could never be a match for the wattage Hawkins produced behind the kit with his drumming prowess and a grin so wide you could practically feel both in the nosebleeds of an arena. “Rope,” off the 2011 album “Wasting Light,” is one of those songs where Hawkins’ performance is so burned into my brain that it takes a minute to recall the vocal melody.
The band confirmed the death of the hard-hitting member, but no cause was given.
“Everyone has their own path, and I took it too far,” Mr. Hawkins told Kerrang, adding that he once believed the “myth of live hard and fast, die young.” Although he has been referred to as “a sideman with a frontman’s flair,” Mr. Hawkins admitted over the years to feeling some self-doubt about filling Mr. Grohl’s seat behind the drum kit. And on “Rope,” a single from the band’s 2011 album, “Wasting Light,” Mr. Hawkins’s precisely syncopated work on the verses gives way to eruptions of fills. On songs like “Times Like These,” the 2003 hit that has become an anthem of perseverance and renewal, Mr. Hawkins is a hard-driving force, punctuating the verses with rat-a-tat fills. “After that concert, I don’t think I slept for three days,” he said in a 2021 interview with the metal magazine Kerrang. “It changed everything, and I was never the same because of it. “I want to be the biggest band in the world,” he said. In addition to his drumming, Mr. Hawkins went on to contribute as a songwriter to Foo Fighters albums, even singing lead vocals on occasion. In joining the band, Mr. Hawkins was charged with assuming the seat of one of contemporary rock’s most distinct, powerful and beloved drummers. “I was like, ‘Wow, you’re either my twin or my spirit animal or my best friend,’” Mr. Grohl said in an interview last year. Recognizable for his flailing limbs, surfer’s good looks and wide, childlike grin, Mr. Hawkins became a member of the band led by Dave Grohl for its third album, “There Is Nothing Left to Lose,” released in 1999, and played on the group’s subsequent seven albums. It was the beginning of my obsession with rock ’n’ roll, and I knew that I wanted to be in a huge rock band.” She was a big supporter and told me I’d make it,” he said in an interview last year.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has died at 50 during the rock band's tour of South America. No cause of death was given. Hawkins joined the band in ...
Other musical endeavors over the course of Hawkins’s career included a cover band called Chevy Metal and another side project called the Birds of Satan. In 2021, he and Dave Navarro coined the term “yacht goth” to describe the sound of their new supergroup, NHC. That same year, Hawkins was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a Foo Fighters member. Notably, he provided lead vocals for “Cold Day in the Sun,” a song he wrote that became a fan favorite on live tours. On the night of his death, Hawkins was scheduled to perform with the Foo Fighters. According to a press release, local health officials sent an ambulance to Hawkins’ hotel after a guest complained of chest pains. He appeared in multiple of Morissette’s music videos and toured with her again. After drumming for the experimental band Sylvia and for rock singer Sass Jordan, he joined Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill tour in 1995. “His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever.
'His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever', tweeted Foo Fighters, who revealed the news Friday night.
“Taylor Hawkins was a terrific drummer with a gorgeous disposition, seemed always to be having the time of his life,” tweeted Steve Albini. “I didn’t know him well but I know music is lessened by his passing, made duller and smaller. Requiescat.” Ozzy Osbourne declared Hawkins “truly a great person and an amazing musician,” and Tom Morello tweeted: “God bless you Taylor Hawkins. I loved your spirit and your unstoppable rock power. Out thoughts 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.”
In a 2021 interview, Dave Grohl reflected on the first time he met Taylor Hawkins. “We were at some radio show backstage, and he came up with a beer in his ...
Hawkins spends the set going back and forth between the drums and the front of the stage as he belts out classics like “Hot for Teacher,” “Panama,” and “Mean Streets.” He loved his time in the Foos, but he also lived for nights like this. Watching the band build the song back up after its quiet part — “I need somebody to love” — was emotional then, as a declaration of freedom from the clutches of the Covid pandemic, and it’s even more so now, seeing Hawkins getting swept away by the song. Taylor Hawkins’ effortless vocal turns on Queen’s “Somebody to Love” (one of Freddie Mercury’s most challenging vocal performances) were one of the most talked-about parts of Foo Fighters tours in recent years. “Stay With Me” is a quintessential rock & roll song, and with his hyperactive drumming, deep sense of groove, and raspy voice, Taylor Hawkins, a perpetual student of the rock canon, was the ideal conduit for revamping the Faces’ classic track onstage. “A year ago, I did not see this.” With Grohl behind the drum kit, Hawkins performed acrobatic feats of vocal dexterity as he hit every impassioned high note, every yearning low note. On the night he helped induct Rush into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, Taylor Hawkins offered two beautiful tributes to one of his drumming heroes. “We played ‘Rock and Roll’ with Taylor on turbocharged vocals and Dave on drums and then for ‘Ramble On,’ they swapped, with Taylor on drums and Dave Grohl on vocals,” Page wrote on Instagram following Hawkins’ death. Six months after Led Zeppelin’s stunning reunion at the O2, Dave Grohl reunited half of the band (guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones) for an ad-hoc one-off at Wembley Stadium. With Grohl filling in for the late John Bonham on drums and Robert Plant absent, Taylor Hawkins mustered his best Golden God for a searing rendition of “Rock and Roll.” Where many singers lose their upper range as they enter their thirties, Hawkins (then age 36) hit Plant’s highest high notes effortlessly. “Me making the call to Taylor to join the band: ‘We need a drummer real bad.'” You can see the instant impact Hawkins’ arrival made on the Foos in this Later … With Jools Holland performance from that same year. “I’d be delivering pizzas if it wasn’t for Dave Grohl.” Whenever the Foos weren’t active, Hawkins brought his everyman humility and infectious passion into other creative outlets, from goofy side projects like the “70s dirt rock cover band” Chevy Metal to more serious affairs like his new supergroup NHC with Dave Navarro and Chis Chaney. Here’s a look at some of Hawkins’ most memorable performances from his long career in rock. Grohl liked to joke that if they ever made a Foo Fighters movie, he’d want to be played by Christopher Walken. He knew what the dramatic turning point in the film would be, too: “You can just imagine what it would sound like,” he told Rolling Stone in 1997, doing a passable Walken impression. In a 2021 interview, Dave Grohl reflected on the first time he met Taylor Hawkins. “We were at some radio show backstage, and he came up with a beer in his hand,” Grohl recalled.
There's an inherent mystery to rock-and-roll drummers and the emotional fuel they burn. When they're happy, they hit the drums hard. When they're angry, ...
The rhythms of real life can be tumultuously cruel, but sometimes they explode in patterns — not unlike a rock-and-roll drum beat. The person he remained most committed to impressing was Dave Grohl, the former Nirvana drummer who invited Hawkins to join Foo Fighters in 1997. That’s all big fun to witness, consciously or subconsciously, but if Hawkins was a crowd-pleaser, it was mostly by default. “Your heart beats a certain way and you feel music a certain way,” Hawkins said, “so there are always things that you are never going to be able to change.” Which means getting it right requires getting it wrong. When they’re angry, they hit the drums hard. When they’re happy, they hit the drums hard.
Taylor Hawkins, the drummer of the band Foo Fighters, has died. He was 50.
"My heart goes out to his family, the Foo Fighters, and everyone affected by the loss of a legend." Queen guitarist Brian May expressed his shock about the loss of his recent collaborator: "No. It cannot be..." "What an incredible talent, who didn’t also need to be so kind and generous and cool but was all those things too anyway," he continued. "See you on the other side." 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."

A la edad de 10 años, se sentó detrás de un equipo "desvencijado y ruidoso" por primera vez en el garaje de su vecino. Aunque estaba "súper intimidado", se integró directamente a la banda. "Paz y amor para toda su familia y la banda, paz y amor". Nacido en Texas pero criado en California, Hawkins tenía el comportamiento afable y tranquilo de un surfista.

Saltó a la fama por primera vez en la banda de gira de Alanis Morissette y se unió a Foo Fighters en 1997, después de que una disputa en el estudio condujera a la partida del baterista original, William Goldsmith.

Hawkins and the other members of the band are killed off one by one. “I am not afraid to say that our chance meeting was a kind of love at first sight, igniting a musical ‘twin flame’ that still burns to this day," Grohl wrote in his book.

He would, however, go on to pound out epic versions of it hundreds of times as the climax of Foo Fighters' concerts. “The world was so lucky to have his gifts for the time that it did.” I didn’t sound exactly like him, I sound like me, but he was a big, huge influence.” Grohl called Hawkins, who was a huge Foo Fighters fan and immediately accepted. “We are absolutely meant to be, and I am grateful that we found each other in this lifetime.” Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana when Kurt Cobain died in 1994.

“I am not afraid to say that our chance meeting was a kind of love at first sight, igniting a musical ‘twin flame’ that still burns to this day,” Grohl wrote in his book. Hawkins and the other members of the band are killed off one by one. Hawkins told The Associated Press in 2019 that his early drumming influences included Stewart Copeland of The Police, Roger Taylor from Queen, and Phil Collins, who he said was “one of my favorite drummers ever. The premise came out of their work on their 10th studio album at a home in Los Angeles. “The world was so lucky to have his gifts for the time that it did.” He would, however, go on to pound out epic versions of it hundreds of times as the climax of Foo Fighters’ concerts. I didn’t sound exactly like him, I sound like me, but he was a big, huge influence.” Grohl called Hawkins, who was a huge Foo Fighters fan and immediately accepted. “We are absolutely meant to be, and I am grateful that we found each other in this lifetime.” Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana when Kurt Cobain died in 1994. Hawkins was Alanis Morissette’s touring drummer when he joined Foo Fighters in 1997. “Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family.”
