Foo Fighters announced Wednesday that it will be hosting two concerts this September to honor late bandmate Taylor Hawkins, who died on March 25 at age 50. The two concerts — one in London and one in Los Angeles — will feature the drummer's family, the other members of the band, and a yet-unannounced group of musicians that Hawkins "idolized," the band said.
The first concert will be held on September 3 at London's Wembley Stadium, and the second will be on September 27 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The band said ticket information and more lineup details will be available soon.
Hawkins joined the band in 1997, making his recorded debut on the band's 1999 "There Is Nothing Left To Lose," Foo Fighters said in a statement announcing the concerts. He was a multiple-time Grammy winner and a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
