RIP Taylor. He was a very talented musician, I loved the Foo Fighters. Condolences to his wife, children, and bandmates. 50 is way too young.

I am so sad about this news

I saw Taylor at several concerts and festivals before he joined Foo Fighters, he was playing drums for Alanis Morissette in 1996. He was so gorgeous and my friend and I would watch him more than Alanis. (Bit rude but we were 16).
Foo Fighters were also playing one of those festivals in 1996 and we always wondered after if they saw Alanis’s set and decided to steal him….
