Damn. He’s only 50 and didn’t look any older than 40.

Yeah, this is crazy. I've been watching a few interviews with him and Dave recently, and he seemed like a genuinely lovely guy, much like Dave.
The Foos aren't exactly my favourite band, but they're always there in the background, delivering consistent quality rock.

Didn't they just finish shooting a movie?

They are on tour right now. Or I guess they were.
Crazy

Yes, too young and yes, they tour Australia in December so I wonder if the 'show will go on'.
R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins, you did well :tear:

I really don't see Dave Grohl finishing the tour. From everything I've seen since Taylor joined the band, him and Taylor were super close almost like him and Kurt. I suspect Dave will release some solo stuff in the future but hard to say what will happen as I suspect the Foo Fighters are done. Truly tragic and I'm happy I got to see this band in person several times.

This came as a true shock. I read there was drugs found in his blood, so an OD is not unlikely? I had this image of the Foo Fighters being a squeaky clean rock band.

10 different forms of drugs, I read.
Including painkillers and antidepressants.. so this might be a severe depression that he kept secret?

haven't followed them really since the 90s but i got the impression that FF is more or less the same band it was in 1996: Dave Grohl writing all the songs then a bunch of glorified session musicians learning them. i'm sure they'll find a new drummer (after a respectful hiatus of course)

Nah, Grohl and Nate Mendel (their bass player) have been with the band since the beginning. Taylor Hawking has been a bandmember since like 1996 or 1997 or something. Their guitar player, Chris Shiflet has been with the band since 2000 or so.
It's not like it's a bunch of ragtag interchangeable people picking up instruments and playing stuff.

Pat Smear has also been with Foo since it’s inception with a hiatus or two but like Eraser said, it’s the same people and a very tight crew.

Terrible news

The drummer from Dying Fetus is so much better than Taylor was...

you'd have been so much better as a dying fetus, dipshit
