Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who sadly passed away on Friday, helped fulfill a little girl’s dream just days before his death.
On Tuesday, the band arrived in Asunción, Paraguay, for the Asunciónico Music Festival. Unfortunately, the show was canceled due to bad weather. That didn’t stop a bunch of fans from standing outside the rock star’s hotel in hopes of catching a glimpse of them. Included in that crowd was Emma Sofía, a 9-year-old musician who had been campaigning to play with the Foo Fighters for the prior few months. Determined to play for her idols, Emma set up her drum set outside the hotel — and it caught the attention of someone very special!

Awesome!
Sadly, just three days later, it was announced that the 50-year-old died while in Bogota, Colombia. The band confirmed in a statement:
It remains unclear what his cause of death was. The Attorney General’s Office in Colombia shared the preliminary results of the urine toxicology test in a press release on Saturday, stating that there was a “presence of 10 different substances” in Taylor’s system at the time of death, including “THC (Marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids.”
