A new posthumous profile of Taylor Hawkins, the Foo Fighters' drummer who died in March, examines his final months on the road with the legendary rock band. And it isn't sitting well with his former bandmates and some of his friends who were interviewed for the story.
Speaking to Rolling Stone for a piece published Monday, several of Hawkins' friends said the late musician complained of tour-related exhaustion as the band hit the road following an 18-month, pandemic-induced hiatus.
Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron said his friend Hawkins feared the physical toll of playing nearly three hours of high-octane music each night as he approached age 50.
