Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins appeared ‘energetic’ when he met young fan three days before his death

Taylor Hawkins, for 25 years the drummer for Foo Fighters and best friend of frontman Dave Grohl, died during a South American tour. He was 50.

"We are a musical family," Peralta told Fox News Digital. "She started listening to music from the cradle. She started playing the piano, but then at age seven, she discovered her love of drums. That has become her instrument. During the lockdown, we started a social media account for her where she could sing and play the drums. It was our way to stay connected with family and friends.

"She instantly fell in love with Nirvana," Peralta added. "That’s when we told her the drummer from Nirvana was the lead singer of Foo Fighters. She became curious and started listening to the Foo Fighters. She fell in love with the band. And Taylor Hawkins instantly became an inspiration for her."
