The band launched the loss on social media, calling Hawkins‘s lack of life “tragic and untimely.” He was found ineffective in a lodge room in Bogota, Colombia. A rationalization for lack of life has not however been launched, nevertheless a preliminary report from the Colombia’s Authorized skilled Widespread’s Office found Hawkins had 10 utterly completely different substances in his physique, along with “THX (Marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids.”

On Saturday (March 26), U.S. president Joe Biden‘s partner of 45 years took to her Twitter to put in writing down: “A ferocious drummer, devoted father, and costly good buddy gone far too shortly.

“Sending wish to Taylor Hawkins‘ family and followers of the FOO FIGHTERS all over the place.”

In January 2021, the FOO FIGHTERS had been part of the digital “Celebrating America” reside efficiency explicit for Joe Biden‘s inauguration, all through which they carried out “Situations Like These”.

Hawkins was a vocal opponent to former U.S. president Donald Trump on various occasions in current instances. In a 2017 interview with Onet Data, Taylor acknowledged in regards to the political native climate within the US: “It’s insane, however it really is a mirror image of our custom in America correct now. So people blame [Trump], nevertheless he’s solely a symptom of a period of actuality TV-obsessed, selfie-obsessed, Fb-obsessed, tweet-obsessed, self-obsessed people. So we obtained that president because of I consider, till the Russians really did hack in, we obtained what we deserve.”

“I consider in a positive means, it’s a good likelihood for people to strive the place we’re as a convention and say, is that this the place we want to be?” Hawkins continued. “An orange, fake-haired, tweeting president who tweets childish remarks about people who say little suggest points about him, because of that’s the place we’re correct now. It’s a fricking weird freaky time, however it’s really guide of the place our custom is right now.”

In February 2021, FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl suggested Tom Vitality, host of “Q” on Canada’s CBC Radio One, in regards to the experience of performing at Joe Biden‘s inauguration: “It’s essential to understand that sometimes it seems so surreal that I actually really feel like I’m standing beside myself and watching it happen. I’ve actually written a bit bit bit about the best way it’s like your life flashing sooner than your eyes as a result of it’s happening. So it’s uncommon.

“It’s exhausting for me to connect all of those dots, because of there could also be various ‘full circle’ occurring there,” he continued. “I grew up exterior of Washington, D.C. My father was a Republican speech writer. He was involved in politics. I frolicked on Capitol Hill.

“So, putting all these points collectively, with the the First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, being a teacher, and my mother being a public school teacher for 35 years — retired now — all of these items sort of associated collectively to then this effectivity of a music that I wrote 18 years previously that isn’t a political music the least bit. It is just a music about hitting some crossroads in your life the place you’re feeling that you just need some sort of rebirth, or some restart. Nonetheless you may need hope.”

Grohl added: “I’ve on a regular basis thought that when anyone costly to you, anyone close to you passes away, it’s essential to start but once more. So it’s essential to do each little factor in life but once more — your first cup of espresso since you’ve got misplaced that particular person; your first journey to the grocery retailer since you’ve got misplaced [that person]; and so forth and so forth and so forth. It’s primarily what that music’s about — about finding out to love as soon as extra, finding out to reside as soon as extra; points like that.

“I consider the reason why we had been requested to hold out was because of, throughout the States, we’d like that. So it’s a rebuilding in a hopeful means. And I consider that’s the reason they requested that we play that music. And it was an honor.”

Once more in 2018, Grohl talked about that he was “ashamed” of getting Donald Trump as a result of the U.S. chief, explaining that the billionaire precise property mogul “seems to be like a big jerk.”

“Within the current day, the American Dream is broken,” Grohl suggested the British GQ journal on the time. “I’ve possibly travelled internationally higher than our current president and the one issue I understand that he wouldn’t is that the world will not be as giant as you assume it’s. It’s all in your neighborhood. India, Asia, Iceland aren’t completely different picture voltaic applications. I’m ashamed of our president. I actually really feel apologetic for it after I journey.”

In 2017, Grohl talked about in an interview with Switzerland’s SRF 3 that criticism of Trump‘s extremist rhetoric by musicians and Hollywood stars solely served to embolden and fuel his base. “I consider that for years maybe they felt similar to the minority and now swiftly there’s a voice that they’ll sort of join themselves to, and the additional pushback they get from that, it is rather like the stronger they actually really feel in various strategies,” Grohl outlined. “So all you’ll be able to do is fight the nice fight each single day whilst you rise up and try to be an outstanding particular person and take care of all individuals with respect.”

Requested how he, as a accountable mum or dad, talked collectively along with his kids in regards to the often-inflammatory habits we observed from America’s forty fifth president day by day, Grohl suggested SRF 3: “I take into account the night of the election, I wanted to sit down down and have a chat with my daughter. She was terrified, man. And I primarily suggested her what I’d merely suggested you. I was, like, ‘You’ll have the ability to’t hand over hope. You merely have to fight the nice fight. And the belongings you take into account in… It’s essential to rise up and characterize the problems that you just actually take into account in.’ That’s what all individuals should do. Nonetheless I consider it’s exhausting for a kid to understand that.”
