In their first performance since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters were joined by celebrities and musical guests in London Saturday to pay tribute to their bandmate and friend.
“Tonight we’ve gathered here to celebrate the life, the music, and the love of our dear friend, our bandmate, our brother, Taylor Hawkins,” Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl told the crowd at the start of the show. “For those of you who knew him personally, you knew that nobody else could make you smile or laugh or dance or sing like he could. For those of you who admired him from afar, I’m sure you’ve all felt the same thing.”
Though the tribute show was packed with superstar guests, it was Hawkins’ teenage son, Shane, who delivered one of the most stirring moments of the night as he joined his late father’s band onstage for a powerful performance of “My Hero”.
