Sloan played a bunch of shows with @foofighters - the first batch was on an Edgedest tour across Canada in 1998(?). Taylor came on our bus a few times, mainly to roll some up. The band was really good even back then. It took balls to play drums for Dave Grohl. #RIPTaylorHawkins

Taylor in this clip talks about Dave Grohl’s mom and her influence on their lives.
The loss for Dave Grohl of his close friend is bad enough. But of course this is the second time he has lost a band member. Frontman for Nirvana Kurt Cobain died in April of 1994 and Grohl was the drummer. Now as the frontman for the Foos he has lost his drummer.
You can’t help but feel so very bad for Dave Grohl. RIP Taylor Hawkins. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/ntjxUdfewi

In his book The Storyteller Dave Grohl said his chance meeting with Taylor was “love at first sight.”
