Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins died in Bogota this Friday after the band performed at the Esterio Picnic, a music festival on the outskirts of the city. The group announced this via their official Twitter account: “The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and eternal loss of our beloved Taylor. His musical spirit and infectious laughter will be with all of us forever.”
Hawkins, born in Fort Worth, Texas, was 51 years old. At night, the public did not know what had happened and waited in front of the stage for the American band to come out to play.
