Drummer of the Foos has died.

The best looking drummer in a dress in any music video.

RIP.

That’s terrible news. He seemed like such a grounded and humble man.


And the best drummer in a dress award could be shared with Roger Taylor in the “I want to break free” video.

Very sad and so young.
I think my son is their No 1 fan and has often been to see them.
I have just one album of theirs.

 

[Oldhippy]

Well that sucks! Great drummer.

 

[Ridgeway]

Very sad😭

 

[ianrauk]

Very sad news.

My daughter in law is a big fan of them. She will be gutted.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Not a fan of the Foo Fighters sound (Grohl's voice) but I have always admired their on stage energy and Taylor Hawkins' driving beats.

What a crap age to die - it really saddens me to hear of these far too young deaths.

 

[Dave7]

On the news they said they found traces of 10 different drugs.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

No age to die. Rest in peace if that bloke on the drums does not disturb you…

Not a Foos fan- enjoyed seeing them at festivals a couple of times, but they've never grabbed me the way Nirvana did- but RIP, a really nice bloke by all accounts. Therapy? paid him a tribute last night in Pompey. They'd met him multiple times on the festival circuit when he was playing with Alanis Morissette, become good friends. Didn't see him for years, then they were playing a festival the Foos were headlining & he made a point of going to their dressing room.

Tend to agree, some of their stuff becomes a bit to AOR for my liking, I've only got one CD (daddio) - the one with learn to fly on, sure (back in the day) I've seen them at festivals, and probably make a good best of... (Think I've also seen Grohl in Foos, Nirvana and Scream)

Sad news regardless for his family and friends

When John Entwhistle died 20 years ago aged 57 of a drug induced heart attack I was almost in awe of his rock and roll lifestyle and live fast, die young ethos.

Now 20 years later a similar death just seems like a tragic waste of life and talent.

Probably because I’m in my late 40s.
