Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has passed away at age 50.
Longtime Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has died, the band said in a statement posted on Twitter on Friday. Hawkins was perhaps the most prominent face of the rock band after frontman Dave Grohl. He was 50.
Hawkins co-starred in the band's recently released horror-comedy film Studio 666, in which a possessed Grohl goes on a murderous rampage against him and the other bandmates — Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee, Chris Shiflett, Nate Mendel. He had also appeared in a couple of rockumentaries about the band — the 2011 feature Foo Fighters: Back and Forth, and the 2014 HBO series Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways.
Born Oliver Taylor Hawkins in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1972, Hawkins and his family moved to Laguna Beach, California, in 1976. This is where he grew up and played in the small Southern California band Sylvia before joining singers Sass Jordan and Alanis Morissette as their touring drummer. Hawkins became a member of the Foo Fighters in 1997, after Grohl and original drummer William Goldsmith reportedly had a falling out. Hawkins had been a member of the band for a quarter-century.
