Dave Grohl broke down in tears on stage while singing 'Times Like These' at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute concert at London’s Wembley Stadium.
winner paused and wiped his face as the audience erupted in cheers of support. For a few moments, he struggled to continue with the performance before resting his forehead on the microphone and shaking his head.
It was the first of two tribute concerts that the band's surviving members and Hawkins' family have planned to honor him. The second concert will take place on Sept. 27 at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum. Proceeds from both concerts will be donated to the charities Music Support and MusiCares. "For those of you who knew him personally, you know that no one else could make you smile or laugh or dance or sing like he could,"continued. "And for those of you that admired him from afar, I'm sure you've all felt the same thing."
Hawkins died on March 25 at the Four Seasons Casa Medina hotel in Bogotá, Colombia, hours before the Foo Fighters' scheduled performance at the Estéreo Picnic Festival. Emergency services were called to the hotel after he began experiencing chest pains. He was found unresponsive when they arrived and declared dead on the scene.
In addition to being bandmates, Grohl and Hawkins shared an extremely close friendship. The musician referred to Hawkins as "my brother from another mother, my best friend, a man for whom I would take a bullet," in his 2021 memoir "The Storyteller".
