Shows in London and LA will honour the band's late drummer, who died in March
Rockin'1000 dedicate a huge rendition of the 'Colour and the Shape' classic to the late Foo Fighters drummer
Having previously told Rolling Stone that Hawkins had said he "couldn't do it like this anymore" with the Foo's level of touring, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam drummers have distanced themselves from the article
The band's representatives have denied claims that Hawkins addressed such issues, while Hawkins friends in Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers said that the drummer had told them: “I can’t do it like this anymore"
"He did live his life to the fullest – we just want more of it"
“I think about Taylor Hawkins a lot, when I think about Zac [Farro]'s playing"
“[Hawkins] emitted something very incredible and very special"
The guitarist said that the late Foo Fighter was a "kick-ass drummer"
The band filled in for the Foo Fighters at last week's Beale Street Music Festival
"To get that kind of endorsement from Taylor Hawkins, this titan of the drumming world, was invaluable and unexplainable"
