Here’s the two last shows of Taylor Hawkins drumming with the Foo Fighters at the Lollapalooza-Festivals in Chile and Argentina. Hawkins was found dead in his hotel room yesterday most likely because of heart problems due to drug use (“toxicology tests found 10 substances – including marijuana, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids”).
Here’s a single clip of the last song from the very last show with Taylor Hawkins: Everlong. RIP Taylor.
From Rolling Stone:
Their last gig with the drummer took place five days earlier, on March 20th at Lollapalooza Argentina. The 19-song show featured Hawkins singing lead on Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” a cover of Jane’s Addiction’s “Been Caught Stealing” with special guest Perry Farrell, and a final encore of “Everlong.”
Here’s pro-shot video of “Everlong” from that night, which wound up being the last song Hawkins played with the Foos. “I don’t say goodbye,” Dave Grohl told the crowd before kicking it off. “I don’t like to say goodbye. I know that we’ll always come back. If you come back, we’ll come back. Will you come back? If you come back, we’ll come back, so then I won’t have to say goodbye.”
At the end of the song, Hawkins tossed his drum sticks to the audience, threw his arm over Grohl’s shoulder, and took a bow with the rest of the band. He’s beaming with joy. It’s devastating to watch knowing would come just five days later.
