I'm still so devastated about Taylors death, my family friend was as that concert when that happened and she called me and we both broke down. May God be with Taylor, family and his friends 😭🙏

[@janicemackie611]

Hawkins also had sleep apnea, a heart twice the size of a normal man! He had major anxiety before a show…the meds they found DID NOT cause his death..had not done heroin since his overdose in 2001..the meds were all prescribed except the cannabis….he knew about his heart for over a year..he played a 4 hr set two days before and the doctor said he might have suffered from altitude sickness from being high up in Columbia…which possibly led to a coronary collapse …he had a “runner’s” heart…toxicology tests take weeks not the next day for results…leave him alone…makes me 🤢 sick

Maybe, but who hasn't vented to a friend or colleagues that you were tired or overwhelmed because of your job. This was a famous drummer, talking to another famous drummer, who happens to relate to be tired of being on the road.

Oh no, here comes the brain dead conspiracies. People desperately need to act like they've found these hidden truths. If you are really trying to claim that someone from his band or the label had him killed then you have actual brain rot. Not everything is some Illuminati conspiracy. And acting that way literally belittles reality. lol He was an aging drummer, overworking himself, with an enlarged heart and being stressed out.

You have to take inconsideration before Foo Fighters went to South America. They did a once off concert in Geelong in Victoria Australia (Melbourne is capital city). The concert was 4th March 2022. Taylor passed 25 March 2022. That are very long flights, he may have developed blood clots. Going on just memory they were only in Australia for 48 hours. Flights from LAX to Melbourne 14hours, more from East Coast; 17 plus hours flying to South America or over 20 hours to Europe each way.

I will say this, I too have passed out one time in my early 20s from playing back to back shows/practice. Just had this odd white noise sound in my head and I timbered to the floor, the impact woke me right up instantly and my friends were all around me making sure I was okay. Went to get a full checkup at the doctor and while everything was fine, he expressed that I take a lot of rest in between playing. 20 years later and thankfully it has never happened again. Drums are really a different beast than other instruments.

People on both sides would complain that they had an easier job and w/e, but it turns out that both jobs were very demanding, I'd even say that the "office job" was more demanding, which many people wouldn't expect.

Foo Phizer's

[@justinwillms17]

You would probably have to physically force Taylor to stop playing music, he loved it so much he had about 3 side projects one being a rock cover band that would play between Foo tours. He was never going to quit playing with the Foo Fighters.

[@rinaticson390]

He loved drumming

[@Living_Dead_Girrl]

Taylor _was_ quitting the Foo Fighters after this tour. This was confirmed by all of his close friends, including drummer for RHCP, who felt the need to come forward and speak up for their friend, attempting to correct a fluff publicity piece in Rolling Stone that painted Taylor’s death as drug related, and made Grohl the “victim” of yet another death of a band mate he was feuding with. Why do you think Taylor had so many side projects? He was unhappy, overworked, underappreciated, his health and wellbeing trampled over - literally being worked to death in the middle of a pandemic. Look how quickly he was replaced. Stop falling for Grohl’s PR. He destroys everything he touches. FYI, Taylor died during the Omicron surge from Jan to March 2022 that killed tens of thousands of Americans. It’s very likely he got COVID, and it’s insane the authorities aren’t releasing his COVID test results or anything about his autopsy.

[@Gmailkondmarecover]

i love foo fighters but these last 2-3 albums, Taylor seems unhappy. and something's a bit odd about dave. It just feels like he's desperate about something. and how quickly the replaced T behind the kit. something doesnt seem right compared to their younger years where dave, T and the others are having fun.

[@Shimmantha]

Gotta make sure you get footage of his body being removed from the building behind a sheet. That’s not something anybody needs to see. How would you feel if somebody died that you loved just like this and you see on the news and know it’s on the internet forever because people have no respect or empathy for others whatsoever if they can make a buck off it? Losing their loved one is bad enough without pieces like this doing the rounds of KZbin etc for all to see. It’s all about the $$$

[@Gmailkondmarecover]

@@Shimmantha the thing is they could have adjusted their schedule of tours if that's really the case and if they really care about taylor. I dont know who manages the foo fighters. But even i used to recall them having a show almost every other day that it makes me wonder how will taylor handle such workload.

[@viiofwands3076]

Even if Matt and Chad’s words were taken out of context, it’s pretty clear Taylor was just mentally and physically exhausted from the whole thing.

And there are more texts out there corroborating that. His friends have his complaints and do.but believe the overdose explanation. Literally 40+ messages agree with Chris and Chad's messages.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

I think this band that is new and favorite of mine, Black Pumas, opened for them because they were in S. America at the time and started very late and came on about the death of Hawkins. This band was touring extensively as well and in the fall had to cancel engagements and go off the road as they were totally burned out. They were able to do that and took a year off to rest and regroup as well as finish their 2nd album. They were lucky in that they could do this and r & r. The demand for their shows has grown alot and being able to take off time due to burn out was rare.

[@SpookMrsSpooky]

It's possible I could have missed some things, I was a maniac on google checking for anything that was reported about that night. I remember that report of white powder, but a few days later it was reported that that wasn't true. Plus, Taylor didn't drink or even use marajuana before performing because it messed up his timing and he never wanted to play anything less than his best. Grass and alcohol (and anything else) ruined his playing he has said. Also, the urine test will show what WAS in his system and already metabolized. There is no way to tell what was actually in his system without a blood test, the coroner said. The coroner never stated what caused his heart attack, said that needed the blood test. His heart weighing double that of a normal heart along with the altitude (coroner never commented on the size, just the weight - Taylor's doctor is the one who said his heart was enlarged) was certainly a major factor. And didn't he call down to the desk with chest pains?

[@dv2033]

He died from an overdose, he was in one of the cocaine capitals and had a heart attack. His excuse of not using because it messes up his timing is BS. He'd overdosed in the past and coming from an addict, once an addict always an addict.

[@YerpDerp17]

You don't know this person. None of us do. The Mairjuana is almost irrelivant. It can stay in your sysyem for days, even weeks, and for sure didn't contribute to his death in comparison to other substances. Addicts, even when they gets years of sobriety, are still addicts. They can flip that switch in an instant. And stress would be on of the, if not the biggest factors for a relapse. There are countless addicts, who sadly got clean, only to relapse and OD. It's said, but its apart of the disease of addiction.

But to act like people were dropping left and right after getting vaccinated is actually brain dead. I feel bad for people who fall for fear mongering nonsense so easily, lacking the basic ability to critically think. I had 2 family members pass from the virus before there were vaccines. Everyone in my family got the vaccines because of the death of our family members. Not one dies from a vaccine.

@glenndavis Uhm, how much time did you spend on derailing the comments about the vaccine today? The fact that you’re making the claim that Dave Grohl somehow forced his bandmates to vaccinate is just 🤯and I’m pretty sure Taylor Hawkins was old enough to choose for himself what he’d put into his body or not.

His same age, an aging drummer, outliving my twin boys, why am I still here and HE is gone?! Why does he do this to me? I would have given myself for him or anyone more worthy of life than myself. Life becomes a curse, an Albatross wrapped around your neck at some point. Immortality? Even worse than life itself. it has been said, "the dead know one thing; it is better to be alive" but unless you've had both, how can you say? What if death is just the end? No more. No guilt, worry, or regret? Why does he make me stay? I have nothing else to offer and never will.

With a heart size 2x , his age, and stupid long shows he was a high risk candidate. This was either a very inept doctor or Taylor being irresponsible all in the name of keeping his bandmates happy. As you can see the machine kept going, so we know what the band is all about. $$$$

I don’t want to hear any whining from any rich professional musician about their schedule. If you can’t hack it, quit- but don’t complain. Taylor Hawkins seemed like a good guy, and he was a great musician. But just like Eddie Vedder or Kurt Cobain complaining about being famous, I think that whining about that when you’re the person that made yourself famous to begin with is beyond absurd. Why can’t anyone be honest and just admit that heroin killed him?

[@NOLIMITSURBEX]

Safe and effective they said.

[@MrShadez810]

Look at the last performance of Taylor and you’ll see that’s a man that was truly happy with putting on a show for the fans. He died doing what he loved but unfortunately he couldn’t shake the demons that have been plaguing him since even before his 2001 close call. He’s had a life long battle and most don’t see the grey hairs but he lived a full life and was a super positive dude publicly but hid his demons enough to fly under the radar until it was too late.

[@bodhi9464]

[@MetalMama-Mimi523]

My question is, I know all major bands have to go through physicals before any major tour. This is mainly done due to the financial backers putting life insurance on each member & as with any life insurance policy comes a physical, so why after all these tours & I'm sure having seen his personal physician didn't anyone ever notice a heart more than twice it's normal size? I don't believe I will ever understand why he had to die. I didn't know him but I sure do miss that smile & his playing.

[@Dana-jl2fv]

Having an enlarged heart isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a common side effect of heavy cardiovascular activity and when present in an active person is not life threatening.

[@amf6217]

He was told by his doctor he has a large heart, like an athlete's heart... There was a Rolling Stone interview done in '21 (the interview mentioned here, where he speaks of stage fright) where he does mention it. Though I do agree about not understanding why he had to go. 💗 🕊

[@AndrewLemmings]

Yes Taylor overdosed on Heroin in 2001. But when Kurt overdosed in Rome, it was on a benzodiazepine that’s only legal in Europe that internationally is known as the Date-Rape drug, called Rohypnol. Most benzodiazepines are legal in America, but that one in particular is too potent and used for drugging people, especially women. It’s prescribed in Europe for women dealing with post pregnancy issues as well as heroin and alcohol detox.

[@SpookMrsSpooky]

Valium is a benzodiazepine. They probably have other (mis)uses, but it would make sense Taylor could take it for the anxiety and stage fright. it's presence in his urine meant he took it at some point during the pas few days, but doesn't mean he had a lethal dose. I think if the medications had anything to do with his collapse it would have been an unwise combination. Who knows if those things were prescribed, one doesn't get high on antidepressants. It would make sense if he was taking them, seeing as he wanted a lighter schedule and obviously didm't get it. :(

[@AndrewLemmings]

@@SpookMrsSpooky right yes it is. And it would make sense. I could see him taking something of such for his stress and anxiety.

[@isonation.]

Taylor also had benzodiazepines and tricyclic antidepressants among other drugs in his system when he passed. Imo he had more than stage fright. I believe he had offstage anxiety and probably insomnia as well.

[@SpookMrsSpooky]

@@isonation. Insomnia, almost certainly. We can't know though. Need a blood panel to tell for sure if he had a lethal amount of anything in his system when he passed. The pathologist who performed the autopsy explicitly said that. He also said because of the condition of his heart (enlarged and/or abnormally heavy), this could have happened even without the presence of those medications. The preliminary tox screen which is the urine test will pick up anything he might have taken in the last week. Only the blood test results would tell us what could have caused the cardiovascular collapse, if it was the medications or just the state of his heart, and that has not been released.

[@AndrewLemmings]

@@isonation. you’re absolutely right. But that’s not what I was pointing out. Taylor was in trouble and it’s sad that no one saw this coming. Whether it’s due to an overdose or due to his heart. I feel so sad for Taylor. He really felt a lot of pressure weighing on him to continue performing nonstop.
