Elton John kunnioitti Taylor Hawkinsia konsertissaan: ”Hän oli yksi mukavimmista ihmisistä, joita sait tavata”

Elton John kunnioitti Taylor Hawkinsia hänen konserttinsa aikana Des Moinesissa, Iowassa lauantai-iltana (26. maaliskuuta) ja sanoi, että edesmennyt Foo Fighters -rumpali oli ”yksi mukavimmista ihmisistä, joita voit koskaan tavata”.

75-vuotias pop/rock-legenda käsitteli Hawkinsin traagista kuolemaa ennen kuin hän aloitti kappaleen ”Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” Wells Fargo Arenalla. Hän kertoi yleisölle (Blabbermouth.net:n litteroimana) seuraavaa:

”I got up this morning to see that Taylor Hawkins from the FOO FIGHTERS had passed away, and I was so shocked because he played on my ’Lockdown Sessions’ album and he was one of the nicest people you could ever meet and one of the greatest drummers and a true musician who loved all sorts of music and loved life. And it seems so sad that at 50 years of age we’ve lost someone who had that much passion. And it makes me so downhearted for his family — his three children and his wife and his other relatives — and, of course, the FOO FIGHTERS who’ve lost a dearest loved one that can never, ever be replaced. But his music will live on. But I can tell you he was a great, great one. So this song is for him and his family and his wife and his children.”
