Taylor Hawkins's Popular Music Videos
Artist Biography
Taylor Hawkins rose to fame as the drummer for Foo Fighters, stepping into a vacancy created once chief Foo Dave Grohl found himself at loggerheads with his chosen drummer. Hawkins wound up being an ideal fit for Foo Fighters, matching Grohl's energy and boundless joy for music. Foo Fighters also allowed Hawkins to pursue his rock star fantasies, giving him a built-in audience for his side project the Coattail Riders, a band where he unapologetically indulged in his love for Queen and Cheap Trick. While Foo Fighters remained his main gig -- he anchored the group through thick and thin, sometimes stepping to the center stage for a song or two -- he kept the Coattail Riders active until his sudden, unexpected death at the age of 50 on March 25, 2022.
