Wolfgang Van Halen played 'My Hero' and Slash dedicated 'Starlight' to late Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins.
“I’m sure most of you are aware that we lost a really close friend of ours last night — Taylor Hawkins, the drummer of the Foo Fighters,” Slash, 56, told the crowd at the HardRelated“First of all, he was a great f–king guy — a f–king sweetheart,” he continued. “He was a really good friend and a kickass drummer. [We’re] completely crushed that we’ve lost him. So we wanna do a song tonight and dedicate it to him.
“Oh Starlight, don’t you cry/ We’re gonna make it right before tomorrow/ Oh Starlight, don’t you cry/ We’re gonna find a place where we belong/ Where we belong/ And so you know, you’ll never shine alone/ Starlight we’ll find a place where we belong,” Kennedy sang. Foo Fighters were scheduled to perform Friday night in Bogotá as part of Festival Estéreo Picnic, but the well-loved performer, who had been with the band since 1997, was found dead in his hotel room.
