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 at a concert in London on Saturday night.
Hawkins, 50, died in March in Bogotá, Colombia, hours before the Foo Fighters were set to take the stage at the Festival Estereo Picnic. The band immediately canceled its remaining tour dates.According to the UK's PA Media news agency, a tearful Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl told the crowd at London's Wembley Stadium: "Taylor loved to jam and record with anybody and everybody. He loved to play music every day.
"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. "And let me tell you I don't think I've ever seen anyone hit the drums as hard as this person, but beyond that, he's a member of our family. 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.
In a pre-recorded message, Elton John called Hawkins "an incredible drummer" and recalled him "playing on my last album, which I was so thrilled about and honored." Comedians Dave Chappelle and Jason Sudeikis also took to the stage to tell anecdotes about their relationship to Hawkins' music.
