Taylor Hawkins’ sudden death last year was a truly tragic moment in Foo Fighters’ 28 year history. For the second time, Dave Grohl was left to mourn a larger-than-life bandmate, and in this case a best friend too.
Hawkins’ positive personality shone a huge ray of sunshine over the band and delivered some of their finest moments, whether that was fronting Queen’s Tie Your Mother Down with Brian May and Roger Taylor at Hyde Park in 2006, or singing Led Zeppelin’s Rock And Roll with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones at Wembley in 2008.
