John Stamos Reveals the Heartbreaking Final Test from Drummer Taylor Hawkins

The music community is still reeling after learning that Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins suddenly passed away in March.

Hawkins died in a hotel in Chapinero, a locality of Colombia’s Bogotá, on March 25. According to the District Secretary of Health, an ambulance was sent to the hotel in response to a call about a patient with chest pain. A health professional attempted to resuscitate the musician but there was no response and he was declared dead at the scene.

An official cause of death has yet to be released; however, the Attorney General’s Office said a toxicology report found that Hawkins had several substances in his system at his time of death, including THC, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids.

American actor and musician John Stamos shared his financial conversations with Hawkins.

The Full House actor took to Twitter to share a message he’d recently received from the drummer. “This was Taylor Hawkins’ last text to me: ‘Ya We’ve yet to fully have a hang -Got a put that s–t together before we die,'” Stamos tweeted on March 26. “Wise words from my friend- put that s–t together! I’m so f–king sad. Another one gone too soon.”

Stamos also lost his friend and co-star Bob Saget in January.

The actor additionally shared a throwback video of Hawkins in which the late musician pretended to be upset with the TV star for getting a Geico commercial in which Stamos flipped a knitting needle like a drumstick.

“Stamos is a good buddy of mine. He’s a good guy. I really like him a lot. He’s a great drummer and he’s just a great dude, all that stuff,” Hawkins said in an old clip. “But I’m a little upset with him actually, I gotta be honest with you, because I was supposed to do that Geico commercial….Originally that was mine but they decided to go with Stamos ‘cause he’s better looking. But I’m the best stick flipper around. Sorry, Stamos….It goes me, Tommy Lee, Stamos.”

“Yes, Taylor you are the best stick flipper and I miss you pal!” Stamos wrote on Instagram alongside the footage. #GoneWayTooF–kingSoon.”

In a statement shared to Instagram, the Foo Fighters’ remaining members—which include Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Nate Mendel and Rami Jaffee said, “Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time.”

The band canceled the show and remainder of their tour in South America, noting on Instagram that they were taking “this time to grieve, heal, to pull our loved ones close, and to appreciate all the music and memories we’ve made together.”
