The drummer of the Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins, has died, the famous American rock band said in a statement posted on its Twitter account last night.
"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins," the group wrote of Dave Grohl, former Nirvana drummer, without specifying the cause or circumstances of the death.
The band, one of the most influential and critically acclaimed alternative rock bands, was due to play next Friday in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, on the occasion of the Estéreo Picnic festival.
"His musical spirit and infectious smile will be forever etched in all our memories," the statement on the death of the 50-year-old Hawkins added.
Taylor had been a member of the Foo Fighters since 1997 and participated in some of their biggest hits, such as "Learn to Fly" or "Best of You". He previously played drums for independent Canadian singer Alanis Morissette.
