    Just devastating. Due to see them in Lisbon & London in June and this is just awful news. Watching Taylor’s wide smile as he played was so infectious and a massive part of the band and what made them so very lovable. Gutted. RIP 😢

    Devastating news. 

    Wonderful musician and always seemed a shine of light in interviews and at live shows. 

    RIP

    A true rocknrolla, a form of sheer energy that cannot be taught 

    Rest in peace

    Really sad news - was a big talent and seemed like a fun guy. Poor Dave Grohl having to go through this again.

    Very sad.  I really liked them when I my music tastes were adapting in the late 90s/early 2000s away from Indie.  Great musician.  May he Rest In Peace

    The Foo Fighters just started out as simply Dave and a touring band, I bought the first album out of curiosity, as a fan of Nirvana.  Dave eventually formed the band from friends and those he toured with, they became part of what makes the Foo Fighters great.  They play a good brand of rock without ever taking themselves too seriously, there is no ego.

    RIP Taylor, 50 is far too young.

    Incredibly sad news. As others have said seemed a really likeable bloke. Loved his drumming and also the lead vocals he contributed to several of their songs. RIP

    Watched a couple of his interviews and videos when I attempted to learn how to play the drums over Covid. Struck me as a really nice person. RIP

    You know you're good when you're the drummer in Dave Grohl's band. RIP

    Very sad - was such a  big part of them being so incredible to watch live, and always seemed to be a very likeable guy whenever I saw him interviewed.

    50 is no age.

    RIP.

    That’s terrible news, a great drummer and had a decent voice as well. Have a look on you tube of him singing Rock and Roll with Dave Grohl drumming and Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones.

    RIP Taylor.
    I seem a jinx on the Foos. 
    I had tickets to see them a few years ago, which was cancelled, when Dave Grohl broke his leg. 
    I've also got tickets to see them 30th June (I think).
