Hearts skipped a beat as Taylor Hawkins’ son joined the Foo Fighters for his dad’s moving tribute
The stars were out at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, as the Foo Fighters and friends paid a sometimes tearful tribute to Taylor Hawkins, who had been their drummer for 25 years when he died suddenly in March.
Oh my Goodness. I love Dave Grohl so damn much. What a wonderful man. What a real man. What a tribute. The raw emotion.
I love this band. So. Much.

But it was Taylor’s 16-year-old son, Shane who really stole the show.
