Farewell Taylor Hawkins – Foo Fighters Drummer Dies @ 50 – 2022 – Tributes – Statement – Cause of Death
Foo Fighters: The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins. His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time.”
It’s being reported that Taylor was found dead in his hotel room in Bogota, Columbia. Foo Fighters were scheduled to headline opening night (3/25/22) of the Festival Estéreo Picnic.
An early toxicology report states that Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had 10 different psychoactive substances in his system when he died last night in Bogota, Columbia at the age of 50.
The Office of the Attorney General of Colombia released a statement that stopped short of categorizing Hawkins’ death as an overdose, but said preliminary toxicology tests found 10 different substances, including marijuana, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids.

Taylor Hawkins was a terrific drummer with a gorgeous disposition, seemed always to be having the time of his life. I didn’t know him well but I know music is lessened by his passing, made duller and smaller. Requiescat.
