"I was afraid of silence, afraid of having to feel." Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl reflects on the aftermath of the death of his best friend and bandmate Taylor Hawkins

Foo Fighters onstage in 2022.

Dave Grohl has spoken in depth for the first time about the loss of his best friend and Foo Fighters bandmate Taylor Hawkins, and the impact of his death.

Hawkins passed away on March 25, 2022 in his room at the Four Seasons Casa Medina hotel in Bogotá, Colombia, ahead of Foo Fighters' scheduled headline appearance at the Estéreo Picnic festival.
