I'm Crushed. heartbroken.
My heart goes out to his family.
So very sorry that Dave has to go through this again.
Freaking speechless. God speed Foo Fighters

 

[CoachAllred]

Damn.

I like the Foo Fighters.

Only thing I found was he was complaining of chest pains.
So maybe a heart issue.

I watched the RR HoF and I thought he was looking rough. Interested to see what the cause was

Just saw the report and it's not pretty. Something like 10 different drugs found in his system. RIP

Makes sense. I told my wife when I was watching that, that he liked high as a mf. What a shame. Love the FF

Thought Dave had gotten him straight after his first OD.
But I guess a friend can only do so much. So Sad.
Thanks for the update O.S.

Absolutely my Favorite Rock Band.

This sucks so bad.
I've never heard one bad word about the guy.... their crew is a reflection of the band and those guys all seem to love the Foos.

I'm sick of people judging his death as if they know why he's passed...
Lots of guys over 50 have painkillers, anti anxiety and anti depressants in their system. Plenty of guys his age just have heart attacks meanwhile Keith Richard's just keeps on keeping on....
TH has had issues with drug use and I imagine they lead to his death... but it's not like he was a junkie, throwing his life away.

It's tragic. RIP Taylor Hawkins. Your RnR energy will not be soon forgotten!

I'm was 53 when I had my heart attack. so yea it happens I think he was still a smoker as I was.
I was fortunate. Some are not.
I LOVED Taylor just as much as I love Dave and his drumming skills where amazing.
RIP Taylor.

Loved the band and the person but yeah it seems he sunk back into drug problems.

I know and it's very unfortunate.... but there's a lot of guys on drugs not dying and a lot of guys over 50 who have heart attacks... I just refuse to view it in the same light as an Amy Whinehouse/Jim Morrisson/Layne Staley type who "chose drugs over life" because it's just not that simple. Was he an addict. Probably so. Did drugs play a role? Probably so... but this wasn't someone who threw away his life. Just a human with flaws who died.
I'm sorry, I've just read too many ignorant comments from people who don't know shit online.... like FFS have some compassion! (not you or anyone here obviously)

I was watching a documentary on Quiet Riot and they had a Doctor talking about Steve dying. Basically, once you turn 50(obviously around…not precise) your body doesn’t handle drugs like it did before and it becomes much more difficult to to process, especially any mix of uppers and downers.

Addiction is a mf. But, I agree, his life was a lot more than that. And for every Amy Winhouse there is a Keith Richard’s.

This one hits. I believe Foo Fighters are one of the last real Rock bands. I wonder how they continue.
