Other Stars Perform In Hawkins’ Honour
This live show in honour of Hawkins also saw Joan Jett take to the stage alongside Foo Fighters. They performed live covers of classic Joan Jett tracks ‘Cherry Bomb’ and ‘Bad Reputation’.
Earlier this year, Jett also claimed Hawkins would “light up a room”. She also hailed him as a “wonderful guy”.
“Just little things like that, they included me in”, she said.
“It was very, sort of, familial. We’re all sittin’ backstage, runnin’ through songs. I can see [Taylor] now on his drum pad, whacking away. He’s a wonderful guy”.
“It’s really a tragedy that so many people who love him, lose him”, Jett said of Hawkins death. “But, you know, it’s not just physical. He’s around. And that’s hard for people to hear because they want the physical”. See that and Nova’s report on this here.
The Taylor Hawkins Tribute live show also saw Dave Grohl’s daughter Violet open proceedings with a live cover of Leonard Cohen’s classic track Hallelujah. There is more on this from Nova here.
