RIP TAYLOR HAWKINS


Larz

Recommended Posts

Everyone in the business who knew Taylor Hawkins seems to have really, genuinely liked Taylor Hawkins.

More than his music output as an artist, how many Rock Stars can anyone say that about?

Seems like he was a genuinely good dude, grateful at the cool life he was given/his talent earned, and was good to others in return.

RIP Coattail Rider.

"Foo Fighters have announced at least some of the special guests who’ll be sharing the stage at the Sept. 27 Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in Los Angeles: Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Alanis Morissette and  Miley Cyrus top a long list.

Others set to share the stage at LA’s Kia Forum include Gene Simmons, Wolfgang Van Halen, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, Rage Against the Machine’s Brad Wilk, members of Queen, Queens of the Stone Age’s Joshua Homme and Jon Theodore, Joan Jett, The Police’s Stewart Copeland, Jane’s Addiction’s Chris Chaney, Nikki Sixx, Mark Ronson, Omar Hakim and Chevy Metal.

Additional special guests for both the LA and London shows will be announced later.

Earlier today,  the band, along with the family of late drummer Hawkins announced an initial round of guest performers for the London tribute concert on September 3 at Wembley Stadium. Among the guests: Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor, Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Chrissie Hynde, Oasis’ Liam Gallagher, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, Supergrass and Mark Ronson along with comedian Dave Chappelle.

Others on the London roster: Jane’s Addiction’s Chris Chaney, the Police’s Stewart Copeland, Omar Hakim, Rufus Taylor, Wolfgang Van Halen, and Hawkins’ cover band Chevy Metal.

Both shows will benefit charities.

The plan to stage the all-star “global event” tribute concerts was announced last week. Hawkins, the longtime drummer for Foo Fighters, died March 25 while on tour with the band in Colombia."

Tix on sale for London tomorrow.  Gonna' try like hell to get a pair but will likely be paying a fortune when it sells out in 10 seconds.
