The Foo Fighters are set to hold a tribute concert in memory of late drummer Taylor Hawkins.
The band will perform at London's Wembley Stadium on September 3, with a second concert to be held on September 27 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
A statement on the band's website said: "Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee will come together with the Hawkins family to celebrate the life, music and love of their husband, father, brother and bandmate with the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts.
"As one of the most respected and beloved figures in modern music, Taylor’s monolithic talent and magnetic personality endeared him to millions of fans, peers, friends and fellow musical legends the world over. Millions mourned his untimely passing on March 25, with passionate and sincere tributes coming from fans as well as musicians Taylor idolised.
"The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts will unite several of those artists, the Hawkins family and of course his Foo Fighters brothers in celebration of Taylor’s memory and his legacy as a global rock icon — his bandmates and his inspirations playing the songs that he fell in love with, and the ones he brought to life."
The legendary musician died at the end of March and was found dead in a hotel room in Bogota, Colombia, several hours before he and his band were due to perform while on tour.
Investigators said the late star suffered a cardiovascular collapse after binging on a cocktail of drugs, respected Colombian news magazine Semana reported.
Several close sources revealed to Rolling Stone that Hawkins wasn't too sure about going on tour following the coronavirus pandemic.
He also reportedly wasn't sure he would be able to remain a full-time member if the band continued to tour at their pace of three-hour-long concerts.
The drummer's pal and former boss, Sass Jordan, told Rolling Stone: "Honestly, I think he was just so tired. Tired of the whole game."
His close friend Matt Cameron, who drums for the legendary band Pearl Jam, also discussed how he didn't want to 'do it anymore'.
"He had a heart-to-heart with Dave and, yeah, he told me that he 'couldn’t f***ing do it anymore' — those were his words," he said.
A representative for Foo Fighter told the publication that Hawkins never raised any issues with the band or management and claimed there was 'never a heart-to-heart'.
