Oh my God! This is shocking!

How sad.

reply

I'm a marginal fan of the band and I was shocked too. He seemed like a nice guy.

reply

He did. I love the band and have tickets for their Australian show later in the year. I wonder if they’ll cancel now.

So young too. I don’t know if you heard but the Australian cricket player Shane Warne died of a heart attack recently, he was only 52. Both not much older than me. It really makes you think about mortality.

Dave Grohl and the guys must be shattered. So sad.

reply

Taylor has a history with drugs and nearly died of a heroin overdose that put him in a coma for 2 weeks in the back in 2001... so I won't be surprised if he it turns out he overdosed.

reply

I have tickets for London in the Summer. They may not even continue as a band.

reply

I would understand if they didn’t but I’d also be bummed out.. the Foos were going to be my first gig since Kylie’s Golden tour in 2018!

reply

The last time I was meant to see them, Dave Grohl broke his leg and cancelled. Maybe I should stop buying Foo Fighter tickets 🤔

reply

Way to go. If rock is dead, you're the one killing it.

reply

I saw Tom Petty.

reply

If really appreciate it if you bought some KISS tickets. They're assholes anyway.

reply

i liked him in the Jagged Little Pill doc & his speech at the Rock n Roll hall of fame

reply

Sad news. Not a fanatical fan of the band, but I like some of their stuff. The Foo Fighters always seemed like a good group of guys too.

reply

I agree.

hawkins did a good vocal on the reissue of dennis wilson's 'pacific ocean blue.' i believe the original vocal for the track was lost, or maybe never recorded, so hawkin's did his best wilson impersonation.

I didn't know he had a song like that in him.

reply

i was a little worried that i might annoy you barging into this rip thread with some beach boys-related stuff!

but it's a cool little song. even a bb hater might dig it.

reply

Solo Beach Boys is better than everyone together as the Beach Boys. Mike Love is an asshole too.

reply

WTH?
