Damn. He’s only 50 and didn’t look any older than 40.

Yeah, this is crazy. I've been watching a few interviews with him and Dave recently, and he seemed like a genuinely lovely guy, much like Dave.
The Foos aren't exactly my favourite band, but they're always there in the background, delivering consistent quality rock.

Yes, too young and yes, they tour Australia in December so I wonder if the 'show will go on'.
R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins, you did well :tear:

I really don't see Dave Grohl finishing the tour. From everything I've seen since Taylor joined the band, him and Taylor were super close almost like him and Kurt. I suspect Dave will release some solo stuff in the future but hard to say what will happen as I suspect the Foo Fighters are done. Truly tragic and I'm happy I got to see this band in person several times.

This came as a true shock. I read there was drugs found in his blood, so an OD is not unlikely? I had this image of the Foo Fighters being a squeaky clean rock band.

10 different forms of drugs, I read.
Including painkillers and antidepressants.. so this might be a severe depression that he kept secret?

haven't followed them really since the 90s but i got the impression that FF is more or less the same band it was in 1996: Dave Grohl writing all the songs then a bunch of glorified session musicians learning them. i'm sure they'll find a new drummer (after a respectful hiatus of course)

Nah, Grohl and Nate Mendel (their bass player) have been with the band since the beginning. Taylor Hawking has been a bandmember since like 1996 or 1997 or something. Their guitar player, Chris Shiflet has been with the band since 2000 or so.
It's not like it's a bunch of ragtag interchangeable people picking up instruments and playing stuff.

Pat Smear has also been with Foo since it’s inception with a hiatus or two but like Eraser said, it’s the same people and a very tight crew.
