Foo Fighters to perform at Glastonbury's Pyramid stage

In big news from the music circuit, Foo Fighters have announced a new drummer during a live stream event over the weekend. As most would expect, the new person is their veteran session man and longtime friend Josh Freese. Foo Fighters will soon be heading for a massive tour, their first without their original collaborator, drummer Taylor Hawkins. Hawkins died in Colombia last year on May 24.&nbsp;

During their recent livestream called "Foo Fighters: Preparing Music for Concerts", Foo Fighters announced their new member. It started with them joking around with each other in the rehearsal room with their guitars on.&nbsp;

As part of their announcement, top three drummers first came in and said stuff like, “There’s a white Mercedes blocking my car” or “Hey I got the PF Changs!” or “I groomed your poodles for you” while the bandmembers said, “We’ll be right there!” and similar things. Cut to, we hear another voice as Josh Freese says, “Um… Excuse Me?!” Foo Fighters then look at Josh as he says, “Can we play a song or something?!” and then the band launches into songs from their new album, But Here We Are, which drops on June 2.

The livestream was a pre-recorded special that we think was a rehearsal session or one that announced their drummer, before they went on tour and formally got their new drummer well-versed with the audience.

Foo Fighters confirm they will start performing soon after Taylor Hawkins's death: ‘He’ll be there in Spirit'

Preliminary toxicology tests found that Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had marijuana, opioids and other drugs in his system before he <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/foo-fighters-drummer-taylor-hawkins-passes-away-at-50-465610">died</a>, Colombian investigators said Saturday.

Hawkins, the 50-year-old drummer for the Grammy award-winning rock group, passed away in a hotel in Bogota shortly before the group was set to perform at the Festival Estereo Picnic on the city's outskirts, according to a statement Saturday from the mayor's office.

Colombian investigators said preliminary post-mortem tests found several drugs in the musician's system, but did not specify whether the mix caused his death.&nbsp;

"The urine toxicology tests performed on Taylor Hawkins' body preliminarily found 10 types of substances," including THC -- which is found in marijuana -- tricyclic anti-depressants, benzodiazepines and opioids, investigators said in a statement.

Forensic doctors were working "to achieve full clarity of the facts that led to (Hawkins') death," they added.

The mayor's office said a local emergency line received a call late Friday about a "patient complaining of chest pains."

A doctor "performed the respective resuscitation maneuvers, but there was no response and the patient was declared deceased," it added, giving no cause of death.

The festival announced the cancellation of the group's show, as well as another one set for Sunday in Sao Paulo.&nbsp;Thousands of shocked and tearful fans at the Bogota venue lit candles and held a minute of silence after the news broke. &nbsp;

"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins," the band said in a statement on Twitter.&nbsp;

"His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever.''- 'Amazing drummer' -

As part of one of the world's most influential and critically lauded alternative rock bands, Hawkins was known for his on-stage charisma and classic rock-inspired beats, which he once said were influenced by legends like Phil Collins and Queen's Roger Taylor.

He had played with Foo Fighters since 1997, when he was taken on by lead singer and former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, providing percussion on some of the group's biggest hits, including "Learn to Fly" and "Best of You."

Prior to joining Foo Fighters, Hawkins drummed for Canadian indie songstress Alanis Morissette. In an interview with 95.5 KLOS last year, Grohl described his first meeting with Hawkins and how he convinced him to join his band.

"I was like, 'Wow, you're either my twin or my spirit animal, or my best friend!' in the first 10 seconds of meeting him," he said.&nbsp;

"And, of course, I'd seen him play the drums and I thought he was an amazing drummer," he added.

"When I called him and said, 'Hey, I'm looking for a drummer,' he said, 'You know I'm your guy.' And I think it had more to do with our personal relationship than anything musical."&nbsp;

Foo Fighters celebrated their 25th anniversary last year in a pandemic-delayed tour and had most recently produced 'Studio 666,'&nbsp;a rock-and-roll horror movie.

Tributes poured in from across the music world, with Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne hailing Hawkins as a "great person and an amazing musician," and punk rocker Billy Idol describing the news as "tragic."

Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello praised Hawkins' "unstoppable rock power."

"In utter disbelief at the news of Taylor Hawkins," rockers Nickelback said in a statement on Twitter.&nbsp; "Our deepest condolences to his family, his bandmates, his team, his friends and everyone that was ever touched by the music he created with @foofighters @Alanis and so many others."&nbsp;

"Long live Taylor Hawkins," rock band Pearl Jam said on Twitter.&nbsp;

"He brought so much joy to the world of music, he will be forever missed," they said, offering condolences to Hawkins' family and bandmates.&nbsp;

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins used marijuana, opioids before death: Reports

The world has lost a rock legend. Taylor Hawkins, the longtime drummer for the rock band Foo Fighters, has died. He was 50 when he breathed his last. The news regarding the drummer`s demise was shared on the band`s Instagram account. 
 
"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins," the note read."His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever," it further read. 
 
The note concluded, "Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time."The band`s representative, Steve Martin, also confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter. The cause of death has not been disclosed yet. 
 
The legendary rock band, including Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee, is currently on tour in South America and played at Lollapalooza Argentina earlier this week. They were set to perform on Friday at the Festival Estereo Picnic in Bogota, Colombia. However, at the festival, organisers announced that there had been a medical emergency and the band would not be appearing. 
 
The Foo Fighters, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, are scheduled to perform at the Grammy Awards on April 3 this year. The band also has multiple tour dates scheduled through December in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.Back in 1997, Hawkins joined the rock band after original drummer William Goldsmith left the group.

In 2005, he married his wife Allison and the two later welcomed kids Oliver, Annabelle and Everleigh, who inspired his later work. 
 
In 2020, he opened up about his favourite memories and projects with the Foo Fighters, placing `Aurora` at the top of the list during an interview with Apple Music`s Matt Wilkinson.The song is featured on the group`s 1999 album `There Is Nothing Left to Lose` and marks the first project Hawkins ever played on with the group.&nbsp;

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins passes away at 50

Stars like Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Foo Fighters and H.E.R. and others are coming together for a good cause. The singers will be part of a global streaming and broadcast special on May 8 to raise money for COVID-19 vaccines. The concert is on the similar lines as last year's 'One World - Together at Home' fundraiser which had locked-down stars including Lady Gaga performing from their homes. 
 
'VAX LIVE: The Concert to Reunite the World' will be hosted by singer Selena Gomez and also feature the Foo Fighters and Eddie Vedder, according to organiser Global Citizen, an international advocacy group. 
 
"This is really an opportunity to call on world leaders to make sure that the 27 million heroic healthcare workers around the world that don`t yet have access to a vaccine can get access over the coming months," Global Citizen Chief Executive Hugh Evans told Reuters. 
 
The event will also campaign for fair and equal access to vaccines for all. 
 
"The reality is that right now many of the wealthiest nations are starting to stockpile vaccines," said Evans, adding the broadcast would urge nations to donate excess doses and give financial support to the COVAX facility, backed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI). 
 
COVAX aims to secure 2 billion vaccine doses for lower-income countries by the end of 2021. 
 
"The great news is there have already been many nations around the world that are starting to donate doses," Evans said. "Australia, for example, donated a million doses to Papua New Guinea. We know the Norwegian government decided to make a donation of doses. 
 
"There`s really great momentum that is building," he added.
