@Remembering Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters - February 17, 1972 - March 25, 2022
Oliver Taylor Hawkins, born February 17, 1972 in Fort Worth, Texas. Hawkins graduated from Laguna Beach High School in 1990 after his family moved to the Laguna Beach area of California during the mid 70s. Taylor aspired to become a musician from an early age, starting to play drums at just ten years old he would spend hours playing along to his favourite records. It was at this age he would discover some of his musical heroes. Phil Collins of Genesis, Stewart Copeland of the police, and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin would all help to shape Taylors early path to becoming a musician. Taylor would spend his early 20s being a drummer for hire, trying to get gigs with as many people as possible. When he was around 22 years old he landed a job as the drummer for the British born Canadian Rock Singer Sass Jordan which gave him his first real experience of living life on the road. In 1995 he would join Alanis Morrissette as her permanent drummer on tour up until 1997 when Dave Grohl would ask him to come and play on a new foo fighters record called There Is Nothing Left to Lose. It seemed like perfect timing for Hawkins and his musical career. Nothing left to lose would spawn some singles for the band with Breakout and Learn To Fly. It’s no secret however that Taylor had long suffered from substance addiction and in 2001 he came close to losing his life. On a promotional tour in London with Foo Fighters Taylor had taken an almost fatal overdose and was rushed to hospital where he spent almost two weeks in a coma. Dave Grohl spent almost every single day by Taylors side until he woke up. Hawkins would continue with Foo Fighters to release 8 studio albums with the band, as well as pursuing his own side project Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders. Sadly, on March 25th 2022, Taylor Hawkins was reportedly found unresponsive in a hotel room whilst on tour with Foo Fighters. He was just 50 years old. Taylor Hawkins was without doubt an incredible drummer and certainly a creative force when it came to working with Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, he will truly be missed. ⚡OFFICIAL BAND MERCH⚡ https://www.amazon.com/shop/rawmusictv ⚡SUPPORT ME ON PATREON⚡ https://www.patreon.com/rawmusictv GEAR I USE TO CREATE THESE DOCUMENTARIES ⚡Behringer B-2 PRO Condenser Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3OZ7j ⚡Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD: https://amzn.to/3o5w33S ⚡Behringer Compressor (MDX4600 V2): https://amzn.to/3pdLNkH ⚡Behringer MIC2200 V2: https://shorturl.at/fpBLX ⚡Canon EOS M50: https://amzn.to/3d1Al5Q ⚡Samyang MF 24mm T1.5 VDSLR MK2: https://amzn.to/31erDin ⚡Swissonic ASM7 Monitors: https://shorturl.at/gtENQ ⚡Teleprompter-PAD iLight PRO 13': https://amzn.to/32MzC6X ⚡GVM LED Video Lighting Kit: https://amzn.to/31jL5KA ⚡Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Mic: https://amzn.to/3I6sbrm VIDEO EDITING AND AUDIO SEQUENCING (Voice overs): ⚡CUBASE ELEMENTS ⚡Adobe Premiere Pro ⚡Adobe Photoshop ⚡ Or make a one-off donation via PayPal ⚡ https://paypal.me/RAWMUSICTVLIMITED
