The music world was shocked when Hawkins was found dead in a hotel in Bogotá, Colombia on March 25 where the Foo Fighters were scheduled to perform.
In addition to the announcement, the band also shared a special message from Taylor’s wife, Alison Hawkins.
Thanking the band’s fans for their “outpouring of love,” writing, “Your kindness has been an invaluable comfort for my family and me during this time of unimaginable grief,” she said.
“Taylor’s endearing spirit and deep love of music will live on forever through the collaborations he so enjoyed having with other musicians and the catalog of songs he contributed to and created.
“In celebration of his life, it is now up to all of us who loved him most to honor Taylor’s legacy and the music he gave us.”
