Taylor Hawkins fans left in tears after son Shane performs My Hero at tribute concert

Fans of the late Foo Fighter s drummer Taylor Hawkins were left in tears on Saturday night when his young son performed during an emotional rendition of the band's track 'My Hero' at a concert held in memory of the musician.

Shane Hawkins, 16, joined Dave Grohl on stage to play drums on the track at Taylor's memorial concert in London.

Hawkins senior, who previously drummed for Alanis Morissette, passed away suddenly in Colombia in March aged 50. Authorities in the South American country later announced that a preliminary urine toxicology test indicated he had ten substances in his system at his time of death, including opioids and cannabis.
