No Foo without you...
Hours before the Foo Fighters band were set to perform at Festival Estéreo in Bogota, Columbia, 50 year old Drummer Taylor Hawkins was found dead in his hotel room. Toxicology report shows he had several prescription and illegal drugs in his body.As a result of the death of their drummer, Foo Fighters have announced they are cancelling all of their remaining tour dates.
What's to become of the band?
My prediction is they will return to the United States, go into hiding for a few months and quietly audition a replacement drummer to get back on the road and possibly return to South America to honor those cancelled tour dates. Although Taylor was an integral part of the band, it's not like Led Zeppelin where the death of John Bonham ended the Zeppelin experience.
Dave Grohl, drummer, guitarist, front man and founder of Foo Fighters has seen death before. He was the drummer for Nirvina that disbanded when Kurt Cobain ended his life from suicide by gunshot.
Admit it, Taylor was a drug addict. Dave almost lost him from an earlier incident and there were no stopgaps in place. He killed the musical careers of the other band members.
Should they disband, Grohl, will survive. I cannot say what would happen to the others without Dave. Would they fade away into obscurity without Dave?
That would be a bad case of no Foo without you...
