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

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 was fortunate. Some are not.
I LOVED Taylor just as much as I love Dave and his drumming skills where amazing.
RIP Taylor.

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.
