Friends of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins are speaking out following a recent article detailing the late musician's final days.

The article alleged that Taylor's friends said that he was "hesitant about returning to the road" and "wasn't sure he'd be able to remain a full-time member if they continued to tour at this pace." It also revealed that Taylor allegedly felt "vexed by the physicality required to play nearly three-hour concerts night after night." .

In the article, Matt revealed that Taylor and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl had a "heart-to-heart" in which Taylor allegedly told the lead singer that he "couldn't f--king do it anymore." .

I have only the deepest love and respect for Taylor, Dave and the Foo Fighters families.

In the article, Chad shared that Taylor once told him, "I can't do it like this anymore.".
