Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth WVH honored Taylor Hawkins with an emotional rendition of Foo Fighters’ “My Hero” during the band’s concert Saturday in Boston
Introducing the song, a choked-up Van Halen told the crowd that the drummer,, “was a hero to me, and a hero to all of us, and a hero to countless people, so we feel this is necessary.”
Mammoth WVH then launched into the Foo Fighters’ 1997 classic, with Van Halen first helping out on drums before taking centerstage for “My Hero.” Van Halen previously tweeted following news of Hawkins’ death in Bogota, Colombia, “I’ll never forget meeting Taylor on tour in San Diego in 2012. He was such a ridiculously kind man. The dude just emanated cool. Him, my pops and I talked for as long as we could until we had to leave.”
