LOS ANGELES — Taylor Hawkins’ 16-year-old son, Shane Hawkins, honored his late father Saturday night with a powerful performance of the Foo Fighters anthem “My Hero.”
Following in his father’s footsteps, Shane Hawkins passionately shredded the drums while Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl belted the lyrics along with the crowd. Before the song began, a black-and-white photo of Taylor Hawkins and Shane Hawkins appeared on the screens at London’s Wembley Stadium.
The show was a tribute to the elder Hawkins, who died in March at age 50 while in Bogota, Colombia, to perform with the Foo Fighters. According to the Colombian attorney general’s office, an initial forensic medical examination and urine toxicology report of the musician’s body revealed 10 substances in his system, including THC (marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids.
