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"
