Hawkins recorded nine studio albums with the Foo Fighters between 1999 and 2021, making him a stalwart of the group and a fan favourite.
His family offered a touching tribute to Hawkins on Twitter, via his account. His wife Alison said: “Taylor was honoured to be a part of the Foo Fighters and valued his dream role in the band every minute of his 25 years with them […] In celebration of his life, it is now up to all of us who loved him most to honour Taylor’s legacy and the music he gave us.”
