The surviving members of Foo Fighters were joined by a star-studded array of performers for a special tribute concert honoring the late Taylor Hawkins.
Hawkins, who was the band’s drummer since 1997, died in March due to a cardiovascular collapse at the age of 50 in a Colombian hotel where multiple drugs were found.
His death sent shockwaves across the globe as his heartbroken bandmates continue to pay their respects to the late father-of-three.
Among the performers at Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Tuesday was vocal sensation Pink, who joined surviving members of Queen for a rendition of “Somebody To Love.”
The “What About Us” hitmaker also performed Foo Fighters’ hit “The Pretender” before duetting with Heart’s Nancy Wilson on “Barracuda.”
After a breathtaking performance, the singer rushed to her Instagram Story, writing, “Hate why we were there – but I love that we were all together.”
Grohl’s teen daughter Violet Grohl also took the stage, performing Leonard Cohen’s hit “Hallelujah” with guitarist Alain Johannes.
