Red Hot Chili Peppers Pay Tribute to Taylor Hawkins During Jazz Fest: ‘We Love Taylor!’

The Red Hot Chili Peppers paid tribute to late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins on Sunday (May 1), as the “Black Summer” veterans helped to cap up the first weekend of the 2022 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival with a tribute to the late musician. According to NOLA.com, Chili Peppers drummer (and Hawkins pal) Chad Smith played the bass drum with the hawk silhouette that was featured in a tattoo on Hawkins’ arm, with “Taylor” spelled out across the image, with Foos leader Dave Grohl and Hawkins’ widow, Alison, watching from the wings.
