The death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins shook the music world this weekend. Here's what we know about his death so far.
The death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins shook the music world this weekend, with fans and musicians everywhere reeling from the news of his passing at age 50.He had a 25-year career with Foo FightersHawkins was playing drums for Alanis Morissette before joining Foo Fighters in 1997 -- three years after the group's founding by frontman Dave Grohl -- in time to join the band's tour after the release of"The Colour and the Shape," per the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Last year, Hawkins teamed up with Dave Navarro and Chris Haney of Jane's Addiction to form supergroup NHC . They released their debut EP"Intakes & Outtakes" in February. Emergency responders received a report Friday evening about a patient with chest pain at a hotel north of the city, according to a statement from Bogotá's secretary of health. An ambulance was sent to the scene. A private health provider had already been providing treatment, but efforts to resuscitate to Hawkins were unsuccessful, the statement said.
"The National Institute of Forensic Medicine continues the medical studies to achieve total clarification of the events that led to the death of Taylor Hawkins," the report said, and the Attorney General's Office will continue to investigate his cause of death in a"timely manner." In his own tribute, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page recalled playing with Foo Fighters in 2008 at Wembley Stadium, saying,"It was so good to play with him. I really admired him and he was a brilliant musician: his technique, his energy and spirited enthusiasm."
Another fan is 9-year-old Emma Sofia, who met Hawkins just days before his death after she set up her drums outside the band's hotel in Paraguay.
