Foo Fighters paid tribute to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins by bringing his son, Shane, on stage to play drums on a classic song during the Boston Calling Music Festival. However, a technical mishap with the snare drum stalled the show, leading to some comedic banter between frontman Dave Grohl and Shane. Taylor Hawkins passed away in March 2022, and the band recently announced Josh Freese as his replacement on drums.
Foo Fighters invited Taylor Hawkins' son, Shane Hawkins, to play the drums during their performance of "I'll Stick Around" at the Boston Calling music festival. The band's frontman, Dave Grohl, also brought up his daughter, Violet Grohl, to contribute vocals for two songs. The set marked the band's first performance since introducing Josh Freese as their next drummer, although it's unclear if he'll be a permanent member. The band is gearing up for the release of their upcoming album, "But Here We Are," their first since Hawkins' death in March 2022.
Foo Fighters' headlining show at Boston Calling saw Shane Hawkins, son of late drummer Taylor Hawkins, join the band for a performance of "I'll Stick Around." The young drummer had previously demonstrated his chops during tribute shows for his father, but his appearance at Boston Calling was uniquely affirming. Dave Grohl's daughter, Violet, also joined the band for a few songs.
