Taylor Hawkins: what Rolling Stone Foo Fighters article says about drummer, Dave Grohl, tour, cause of death · Foo Fighters' representatives told Rolling Stone ...

“Taylor never played f***ed up in his life,” said Chad Ward, Hawkins’ drum tech between 2005 and 2019. “He was dehydrated and all kinds of stuff... Tired of the whole game.” “He always played sober as can be. Hawkins had told Rolling Stone in June 2021 that he was dealing with stage fright anxiety and was “trying really hard to figure out how to continue to keep the intensity of a young man in a 50-year-old’s body.” Hawkins had complained to confidantes about being tired and not being able to tour a full schedule anymore, according to the report, which draws on the testimony of multiple sources more than a month after the musician's death.

It's been two months since a call went out from Casa Medina, a Four Seasons property, in an area of Bogotá, Colombia called Chapinero. It was 7:40 pm on.

He was genuinely worried that he wouldn’t be able to handle all the post-COVID rescheduled dates that the Foos had around the planet. He was dehydrated and all kinds of stuff.” The specifics of the collapse are still unknown. After the scare in Chicago, Rolling Stone alleges that he had a “heart-to-heart” with Dave and Foos management, saying that he couldn’t take the pace anymore and that they had to figure something out. We can debate on issues involving privacy and the wishes of Taylor’s family and the rest of the Foo Fighters, but that all may soon be moot. So for somebody to say that he was doing drugs that day, that is just about the most false thing anybody could ever say about him.” Apparently. If you remember the story, the Foos were scheduled to play a post-race gig at the last F1 race of the season in Abu Dhabi last December 12. His heart was that size long before the pandemic. I quote: “[Taylor was] “trying really hard to figure out how to continue to keep the intensity of a young man in a 50-year-old’s body, which is very difficult.” Taylor and his doctor knew about his “runner’s heart” (his doctor’s words) for quite some time before his death. And any junkie will tell you that there’s no way you can shoot up on a show day, especially if you’re going to play as hard as Taylor did. The benzos and anti-depressants could have been related to Taylor’s chronic stage fright. What was the cause of death?
