And, not surprisingly, the Foo Fighters have cancelled all upcoming tour dates, including a July 22 show at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, “in light of the staggering loss of our brother Taylor Hawkins,” as the band said in a statement.
“We’re sorry for and share in the disappointment that we won’t be seeing one another as planned. 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.”
