Taylor Hawkins dead at 50.

[Justincase]

Fuck…. The drive to get high over rides everything. Family, friends, career and music…. I could never possibly understand. RIP

Addiction is a bitch that knows no boundaries of race, creed, class, or social standing. No matter how stereotypical it is for a rock star it is truly a sad thing.

 

[Justincase]

And this is why they mapped Ozzy's genome...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say clotting issues took him out.

Your limb just broke.

 

[Deemic]

Didn't Dave Ghoul just make s movie about satanically sacrificing the rest of his band?
And they are vaxx shill band ground zero, forcing their fans to get it, talking trash about those who chose not to... I'm going to go out on a limb and say clotting issues took him out.

Seriously? You're going to make this about that? Wow. You should take a long walk out up high on a short limb.

Whatever happened, the world is missing a great rock drummer and his family is missing a husband and father.

 

[Rhodes]

Very heartbreaking news. Such a talented and genuinely likeable guy from everything I've seen and read about. He seemed to play for the sheer joy of music, everything else was just a bonus. He will be missed by many. R.I.P. Taylor.

Yup. 3 more kids (16, 13, 8) who will grow up without their Father. F'ing tragic!

I really enjoyed this. A very thoughtful cat. For those interested.

I knew he had a wife and kids, but didn't realize the ages. Those kids need their dad.

Thanks for posting this. I just watched the first 25% and will finish later. It's great to see the human side of him. What a cool dude! You'd just love to be able to sit down and have a beer with the guy; very down-to-earth. Again, watching his live drumming clips in this video makes me think of Animal every time!

A Tragic loss for sure!

 

[Moondog Wily]

Well I did not know the man, but a member on another forum posted about how he did know him, and their sons are friends. That prompted the Universe to push this song through my head! I think the message of the chorus can help those mourning his loss!! I have also done a rough recording of this and will be producing it for release, but in the meantime, here are the lyrics!!!

The Flying Hawk - Copyright March 27, 2022 - ANO Publishing, LLC - All Rights Reserved

<verse 1>
On a dark March night
The Hawk went flyin'
Leaving behind
A life of tryin'
Tryin' to live
Beyond all reason
Livin' those dreams
So many are dreamin'

<chorus>
Chin up
And put on some Foo
Celebrate the great
In all that he do
Chin up
And put on some Foo
Celebrate the great
In all he done do

<verse 2>
Bogota on call
For the next number
Tryin' to get back
To our rolling thunder
Fightin' like Foo
For all the right reasons
Tryin' to bloom in
This brand new season

<chorus>
Chin up
And put on some Foo
Celebrate the great
In all that he do
Chin up
And put on some Foo
Celebrate the great
In all he done do

<bridge>
Over and done
Movin' on
Keep the beat
Rockin' till the mornin' dawn

<chorus>
Chin up
And put on some Foo
Celebrate the great
In all that he do
Chin up
And put on some Foo
Celebrate the great
In all he done do

<verse 3>
You know the next stop
Is the pearly gates
Where the bouncer says
Come on in or skate
They don't care
Bought the records sold
But he's done a lot of good
When all truth be told

<outro>
Over and done
Movin' on
Keep the beat
Rockin' till the mornin' dawn
Over and done
Movin' on
Keep the beat
Rockin' till the mornin' dawn
Chin up
And put on some Foo
Celebrate the great
In all that he do
Chin up
And put on some Foo
Celebrate the great
In all he done do

You are not an addict apparently. Bless your fortunes.

Isn't it conceivable that Taylor was on Pain Meds (opioids) to allow him to continue to play
such a grueling gig? He may have also been prescribed Benzos to help him sleep---especially
after high adrenalin shows that are tough to come down from the "rush" of, even if you are
not doing any kind of stimulants.

If he had legally prescribed meds does it change the story?

I guess I just don't want to be someone who assumes he OD'd until all the facts are discovered.

Playing drums is not the kind of thing that would require prescription pain killers, unless you just have absolutely awful technique, or are injured.

Oh...... really.....

"Legendary singer and drummer of the multi-platinum band, Genesis, Phil Collins was a victim of spinal complications due to spending over 50 years behind a drum set. Phil had severe cervical compression and was unable to even hold a set of sticks without excruciating pain. He was also experiencing radicular pain and neurological dysfunction which made it difficult for him to tighten his hands and hold the sticks. In 2009 he told fans that he would never be able to play drums again. However, after a spinal decompression, Phil is able to again hold sticks and beginning to play drums again, pain-free."

There are even specialists who work with drummers.

I very seriously doubt, especially with the attitude toward opiates today, that any doctor would prescribe opiate pain meds, so a successful drummer could go on touring, especially him, with his abuse history. All the pain meds would be doing is masking the pain, making it that much easier to do more damage. He'd most likely be told to get the underlying cause corrected, and/or get into pain management. Doctors these days are very skittish when it comes to prescribing those drugs. But I suppose anything's possible if you have enough money.
And being legally prescribed Benzos and opiates I think would even be harder.
