Saturday night brought another memorable tribute to the late Taylor Hawkins, from fellow music star Elton John
“And one of the greatest drummers and a true musician who loved all sorts of music and loved life,” he added of Hawkins.“And it seems so sad that at 50 years of age we’ve lost someone who had that much passion. And it makes me so downhearted for his family — his three children, his wife, his other relatives and, of course, the Foo Fighters, who’ve lost a dearest loved one that can never, ever be replaced,” said John.
“His music will live on,” he noted just before telling the crowd that the next song on his set list, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me,” was “for him, and his family, and his wife and his children.” Hawkins died at the age of 50 in Bogotá, Colombia, where he was set to perform at Festival Estéreo Picnic with the Foo Fighters. His cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
