Howard Remembers Taylor Hawkins and His Many Stern Show Visits

[@squeedum4893]

I don't see how, for at least the next 2 or 3 years, Dave could be on stage, instinctively look back at whoever's playing the drums, and not break down in tears. This is a very sweet tribute, Howard. Thank you. RIP Taylor.

[@jjschmidli8896]

I don't either. I saw where he said one time that the reason he wanted to be in the front of a band was so he didn't have to sit on the drums and not see Kurt. It's sad

[@kristopherclark-berroth4386]

They're in their 50's and just lost a brother. I think they're done as a full-time band. They may all do other things but not the Foos full-time. In time, I could see them doing a few reunion shows over the next 10-20 years with special guest drummers in memory of Taylor. I'm heartbroken over Taylor and for the band. RIP

I love how classy and respectful Howard was. He not once mentioned anything negative about Taylor. Unlike certain tabloids and social media platforms have done about substances being in Taylor's system. Thank you for that Howard. Robin....bless your heart. I can see the pain and the admiration you had for Taylor. He was a phenomenal human being. One of the best drummers to ever walk the earth and the most beautiful contagious smile I have ever seen...a true rock and roll legend. Rest easy Oliver Taylor Hawkins. You will be greatly missed. Sending prayers for your family Dave , the Foos the fans and everyone that has had the honor of being in your grace. We Love you!!!!
