Was only listening to the Foo's new 'metal' album before bed last night. Just woke up to this.

Terrible.

This sucks. I just heard a new interview with Taylor about a month ago, He seemed like such a great guy, very humble, and funny.
RIP Taylor; and prayers for his family and friends.

A report in a major Colombian magazine, Semana, went further, however, reporting that unnamed authorities told its reporters that heroin was part of the drug cocktail in Hawkins’ system, and that he was found to have an enlarged heart.

Semana reported that “forensic doctors were shocked by the size of the drummer’s heart,” at more than 600 grams, and believe that was a factor in Hawkins quickly succumbing to “a cocktail of narcotics.”

The official tweet from the country’s attorney general said (translated from Spanish): “In the urine toxicological test carried out on the body of Taylor Hawkins, 10 types of substances were preliminarily found, among them: THC (marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids.​

My wife is distraught by this news. She's been a Foo Fighters fan since the beginning and we just go to see them here last year. It was a fantastic show. I feel bad for the little girl who got to go on stage and drum when they played Everlong in LA at the end of the tour. He was her idol.

RIP
