The news of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins’ sudden passing has had a massive impact on anyone who knew him over the last 24 hours. It’s safe to say he was a beloved talent and drummer, as well as a kind and generous person. So many musicians were influenced by his talent and energy.
Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie, as well as the Florida metalcore band themselves, were also touched by Hawkins and his energy. The band, in their hometown of St Pete, Florida tonight, paid tribute to Hawkins with an emotional cover of their iconic hit “My Hero”. We’re not crying, you’re crying.
