The Foo Fighters have been on a South American tour and we recently in Argentina to play Lollapalooza. They were scheduled to perform at the Festival Estereo Picnic in Columbia on Friday. The organizers of the festival made the announcement that there was a medical emergency and the band would not be playing, even though they were the headliners.
The festival organizers announced, “Due to a very serious medical situation, Foo Fighters will not be able to perform tonight and have canceled the remainder of their South American tour. The festival is still on, we have delayed the start of Black Pumas by 20 minutes and we will soon communicate the schedules for the rest of the night.”
Hawkins grew up in Fort Worth, Texas and then moved to Southern California when he was young. He got his break when he went on tour with the Foo Fighters in 1997 when he replaced William Goldsmith. He opened up to his fans in 2020 and we all got to see a different side to him. He enjoyed working with Dave Grohl and found him very easy to work with.
Our hearts go out to Hawkins’ friends and family. We will keep them and the Foo Fighters in our hearts and thoughts. This has got to be quite the difficult time for them all. We will also try to keep our readers posted if the cause of his death is revealed. We will respect the family and their privacy at this time.
