Taylor Hawkins

A star-studded line-up, including Paul McCartney and Liam Gallagher, joined the Foo Fighters for an emotional tribute to the band's drummer Taylor Hawkins ...

Funds from the events will go to the Music Support and MusiCares charities, both of which were chosen by the Hawkins family. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have one more drummer that’s going to come up and play with us,” Grohl said as he welcomed Hawkins’ son to the stage. It’s a tough thing to do, especially at 16, he was incredible.” And he needs to be here tonight with all of us, and I think it makes sense that he’s going to come up and play with us tonight.” Sixteen-year-old Oliver Shane Hawkins joined his father’s band for a powerful rendition of Foo Fighters song “My Hero.” So this collection of friends and family and musicians, this is all brought together by him and we’re all connected here today by that one guy.”

An eclectic lineup of musicians makes this a curious bombardment of music – but Dave Grohl, his voice cracking with emotion, is the real star of the show.
