Drummer Taylor Hawkins' son Oliver Shane Hawkins got on stage over the Fourth of July weekend to pay tribute to his late father with a cover of "My Hero." The footage is short, but of course the message is powerful – and it's great to see Taylor's drumming being carried on with his son.
Foo Fighters recently announced two tribute shows to the late and great Taylor Hawkins on September 3 at London's Wembley Stadium and on September 27 at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The shows will feature Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, and Rami Jaffee coming together with the Hawkins family to celebrate the life and music of Taylor Hawkins, who tragically passed away earlier this year. The show's lineup also includes musicians such as Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, Queens Of The Stone Age multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes, Leann Rimes, Heart frontwoman Nancy Wilson, P!nk, and more!
