Foo Fighters Announces Cancelation of All Tour Dates
In the wake of Taylor Hawkins’ death.
In wake of the death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, the band has decided to cancel all forthcoming tour dates.
Variety reports a statement from the group which reads,
It is with great sadness that Foo Fighters confirm the cancellation of all upcoming tour dates in light of the staggering loss of our brother Taylor Hawkins. We’re sorry for and share in the disappointment that we won’t be seeing one another as planned. Instead, let’s take this time to grieve, to heal, to pull our loved ones close, and to appreciate all the music and memories we’ve made together.
With Love,
Foo Fighters.
The band was slated to tour South America and was scheduled to perform at a festival in Colombia last Friday when Hawkins complained about chest pains. The drummer died soon after. While there has been no official cause of death noted, local medical authorities found multiple drugs in his system that may have pointed toward an enlarged heart.
The rest of 2022 included a scheduled North American and European tour for the band. They were also scheduled to perform at the Grammys over the weekend, but were unable to due to Hawkins’ death. Hawkins joined the band in 1997 after playing for two years as Alanis Morissette’s drummer.
