Un grande dolore. Così, all’improvviso. A 50 anni scompare Oliver Taylor Hawkins batterista dei Foo Fighters. A darne notizia la band con uno stringato comunicato apparso via social. Le cause del decesso ancora non si conoscono, ma sembra che il musicista texano sia stato ritrovato senza vita in una stanza d’albergo a Bogotà (Colombia) colpito probabilmente da un attacco di cuore. Dave Grohl e compagni erano attesi per una tappa del loro tour sudamericano. Hawkins lascia la moglie Alison e tre figli. Dopo essere stato il batterista per Sass Jordan e Alanis Morissette si unisce ai Foo Fighters nel 1997. Da ricordare tre album con il progetto Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, uno come The Birds of Satan, un EP solista nel 2016, fino all’ultima avventura come NHC con Dave Navarro e Chris Chaney dei Jane’s Addiction.
UPDATE > “A urine toxicological test carried out on Hawkins’ body indicated the presence of multiple drugs, including marijuana, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, and benzodiazepines, Colombia’s attorney general said in a statement released on Saturday evening”.

Taylor Hawkins was a neighbor and a friend. He would ride around on his bike, music blaring leading his kids on a journey. He was a fierce drummer with a deep love of music. We are sending love to Allison and the family. Rock and roll heaven just got a lot cooler. #TaylorHawkins https://t.co/GARVn25eVg

From the first time I watched him from the side of the stage at Fuji Rock, #taylorhawkins inspired me with the wild joy he brought to his music. He was vibrant and alive in every beat. I never knew him but I knew he was beautiful. My Hand on my heart for the Foo Fighters family.
