Foo Fighters announce first shows since death of drummer Taylor Hawkins
In a statement on New Year's Eve the band told fans they had decided to continue without Hawkins, who had played with them since 1997.
"Foo Fighters were formed 27 years ago to represent the healing power of music and a continuation of life," the band wrote, referring to how Grohl's previous band, Nirvana, had ended with the death of frontman Kurt Cobain. "For the past 27 years our fans have built a worldwide community, a devoted support system that has helped us all get through the darkest of times together. A place to share our joy and our pain, our hopes and fears, and to join in a chorus of life together through music.
"Without Taylor, we never would have become the band that we were - and without Taylor, we know that we're going to be a different band going forward."At September's tribute concerts, his position was filled by a rotating cast of friends and family, including Blink-182's Travis Barker, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith, Devo's Josh Freese and Hawkins' teenage son, Shane.
