MESSAGE FROM THE HOWKINS FAMILY: STATEMENT FROM THE HAWKINS FAMILY
I want to express my gratitude and respect to the whole Foo Fighters community as well as all of Taylor’s fans for the outpouring of support you have given to our dear Taylor. Your generosity has provided my family and me with immeasurable comfort at this difficult time.
I want to express how much you meant to Taylor and how committed he was to “knocking your socks off” at every performance on behalf of our kids as well as on my behalf as Taylor’s wife. Throughout his 25 years with the band, Taylor was grateful for the opportunity to be a member of the Foo Fighters and cherished his ideal position there. We view the entire Foo Fighters team as one big family, including all of the band members.
The songs he collaborated on and wrote will always be a part of the music canon, carrying on Taylor’s lovable personality and abiding love of music.
It is now up to those of us who loved him the greatest to respect Taylor’s legacy and the music he provided us in remembrance of his life.
Again, I want to thank everyone for your kindness and support. Both us and Taylor adored each and every one of you.
With gratitude,
Alison Hawkins
