The first of two planned Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts went down this weekend — on Saturday, September 3 at London’s Wembley Stadium — and it was a massive event. So many Foo Fighters associates and friends/admirers of Hawkins took the stage, combining to put on a tremendous 50-song performance that spanned six hours.
Liam Gallagher joined Foo Fighters to open the show, and from there, performing in various capacities were Nile Rodgers, Queens Of The Stone Age’s Josh Homme (including a Them Crooked Vultures reunion), AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Paul McCartney, Hawkins’ 16-year-old son Shane Hawkins, and many others. Dave Grohl closed the concert with a solo rendition of “Everlong,” the last song Hawkins ever performed live.
The second Hawkins tribute concert is set for September 27 at Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
