Foo Fighters have announced the passing of their long-time drummer overnight. No cause of death has been given as yet. Prior to joining Foo Fighters in the late ’90s Hawkins was Alanis Morissette’s touring drummer during her Jagged Little Pill era.

A statement from the band reads:

“The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins. His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. “Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time.”
