Hawkins had been on tour in South America with the alternative rock band, which he joined in 1997
Taylor Hawkins, the drummer of Foo Fighters, one of rock music’s biggest acts, has died at age 50.
Foo Fighters had been on tour in South America, and were scheduled to perform Friday night at a music festival in Colombia. Shortly before the band’s performance, Estéreo Picnic, the festival, announced that a grave medical situation had prevented the band from performing, and that Foo Fighters had canceled the rest of its South American tour, according to photos posted on social media. Candles were placed on the stage in Mr. Hawkins’s honor.
Born in Texas, Mr. Hawkins grew up in California and joined Foo Fighters in 1997. Earlier in his career, he had worked as a touring drummer for Alanis Morissette. In Mr. Hawkins, Foo Fighters had a playful, buoyant foil to bandleader Dave Grohl, the rock elder statesman who had previously been the drummer for grunge icons Nirvana. Foo Fighters, which Mr. Grohl formed from Nirvana’s ashes, turned post-grunge alternative rock into.
