The Foo Fighters continue to pay tribute to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who tragically passed away a year ago. Although he recently announced that his replacement is Josh Freese, Dave Grohl and Company wanted Hawkins’ son Shane back on stage at the Boston Calling concert on May 26.
“How about making a song with one of my favorite drummers in the world? Guys, please welcome Shane Hawkins,” the band’s frontman announced. So after making his debut alongside Dave and others at a tribute concert in memory of his late parents, held in March and September 2022, 17-year-old Shane Hawkins took the stage again with his father’s group (the boy featured was displayed during the performance from 1st, March’s).
You can see a video of the Foo Fighters playing with Shane Hawkins at the end of this article.
As soon as Shane Hawkins joined the Fuzz (as fans affectionately call him), he and the band played the track. i’ll be around, Hawkins Jr. has shown that he inherited a lot of patience and a lot of talent from his father, as can be seen from the video that captured the performance (you can find it at the bottom of this article).
As at the opening show of the Foo Fighters Tour (held last week in New Hampshire), Dave Grohl played a solo acoustic version of the song, written by Taylor Hawkins, this time around. Cool day in the sun.
It was a very touching moment, with the frontman solely involved in paying tribute to the memory of his friend and colleague, who was like a brother to him (as he defined him several times even before his death) ).
Josh Freese is the new Foo Fighters drummer. After months of mystery surrounding Taylor Hawkins’ replacement, his name was announced at the band’s live stream event.
Josh Freese has been the Offspring’s drummer for the past two years. A few weeks ago they announced that they would not be following Dexter Holland and his bandmates on a new tour. From that clue, Foo Fighters fans speculated that The Offspring’s departure was to follow Grohl’s. And in the end they were right…
Freese had attended Taylor Hawkings tribute concerts in London and Los Angeles the previous September, adding further argument to the skepticism of some of the band’s connections.
The first leg of the new Foo Fighters Tour took place on Wednesday 24 May. The tour brings Grohl & Co. back to perform all over the world, including Europe (two dates are scheduled in Germany, June 2 at Rock am Ring and June 4 at Rock im Park).
This is the band’s first tour since the death of Taylor Hawkins. The last time Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee performed on stage was for two tribute concerts in honor of Taylor Hawking held in September 2022, which featured several guests (Paul McCartney, Joan Jett , including Travis Barker). , Chrissy Hynde, Josh Homme, Miley Cyrus, Pink, Dave Chappelle and members of Queen, AC/DC, Metallica and Rush).
The band went on a long hiatus following the shock of the death of their friend and colleague, whom Dave Grohl has referred to as a brother on several occasions. That’s exactly how he described it in his History Topic the storyteller, “My brother from another mother, my best friend, a man I’d take a bullet for”, are Grohl’s words.
Hawkins died on March 25, 2022, at the age of 50, before the band performed at a ceremony in Bogotá, Colombia. He was the drummer for the Foo Fighters since 1997 (joining the band after touring with Alanis Morissette).
