In the wake of the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, the Foo Fighters announced that they will cancel all of their upcoming tour dates.
“We’re sorry for and share in the disappointment that we won’t be seeing one another as planned,” the band wrote in a statement shared to Twitter on Tuesday.
“Instead, let’s take this time to grieve, to heal, to pull our loved ones close, and to appreciate all the music and memories we’ve made together.”
Hawkins, 50, was found dead over the weekend while on a South American tour with the band.
Colombia’s Prosecutor’s Office released a statement Saturday saying toxicological tests on urine from Hawkins’ body preliminarily found 10 psychoactive substances and medicines, including marijuana, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines.

Hawkins joined the Dave Grohl-led group in 1997 after original drummer William Goldsmith left, making him one of the longest-serving members of the 28-year-old band.
