Dave Grohl, Travis Barker, and Miley Cyrus were some of the artists who performed at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday 27 September.
The show, which was held at the Kia Forum, kickstarted with Grohl’s 16-year-old daughter Violet performing a rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” along with guitarist Alain Johannes.
After that, Foo Fighters took over the stage, announcing: “Welcome to the Los Angeles Taylor Hawkins tribute concert.
“This is the hometown s***, so you gotta make it loud for Taylor.”
Grohl said that the idea of the concert is to “spend some time in [Hawkins’s] musical mind, which could be a pretty terrifying place” and to “celebrate this person that has touched our lives.”
The show continued with performances by Joan Jett, Chevy Metal, Kesha, Coattail Riders, Mark King, Rufus Taylor, Joe Walsh and the James Gang, Cyrus, Mötley Crüe, and Def Leppard among others.

By 1983, the original Star Wars trilogy had space-docked, and George Lucas began thinking about alternative entertainment delivery systems for the galaxy far, far away. His first TV movie, Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984), was such a hit with kids, ABC secured the rights to two animated series. Star Wars: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3Po and its sister series The Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour are set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. They were designed to capitalize on the characters’ popularity with children. The best way to start is with catchy tunes.

Taylor Hawkins recruits Foo Fighters bandmate Dave Grohl for “Middle Child,” a glam-rock cut from the former’s upcoming album with the Coattail Riders, Get the Money.
Grohl and Brent Woods power the track with a distorted, trebly guitar riff. Chris Chaney contributes a fuzzy bass line, and Hawkins adds both a propulsive drum part and harmonized vocals that recall the multi-tracked grandeur of vintage Queen. “How I love you, middle child/I see angels when you smile,” he belts on the chorus. “When I look into your eyes, I...

The Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins and his band the Coattail Riders teamed up with Chrissie Hynde, Joe Walsh and Duff McKagan for a simmering new song, “Get the Money,” the title track from their next LP, out November 8th via Shanabele/RCA Records.
“Get the Money” takes several unexpected musical turns, opening like a psych-folk tune, settling into a reggae-tinged groove, going back to that psych-folk vibe before steadily ramping up into a breakneck prog freakout. Throughout the song, Walsh peels off crackling riffs over McKagan’s supple bass while Hawkins and Hynde trade lyrics,...

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has linked up with his bandmate Dave Grohl and Yes singer Jon Davison for an eclectic new rocker, “Crossed the Line.” The track will appear on Hawkins’ new cameo-filled album with his band the Coattail Riders, Get the Money, out November 8th via Shanabelle/RCA Records.
“Crossed the Line” opens like a slow-and-steady prog rocker, with Davison draping his soothing croon over a guitar riff that plucks as much as it wobbles. But the song slowly opens up in various directions, from a cheeky nod...
