Foo Fighters

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"

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"

"We Love Taylor"

"We’re going to play our hearts out," says Chad Smith

The Foo Fighters drummer passed away last month in Colombia
