The sudden death of Taylor Hawkins in a hotel in Bogotá a few hours before his concert with the Foo Fighters has caused one of his colleagues to also monopolize many spotlights for the two blows he has suffered during his musical career. Is about Dave Grohl, founder of the band and former Nirvana drummer, a group where he suffered 27 years ago with the death of his fellow partner Kurt Cobain.
Grohl joined Nirvana in 1990 and He participated in the group’s most outstanding albums, such as ‘Nevermind’ and ‘In Utero‘. His talent with the drums and a style that fit perfectly with what the band promoted made him quickly be considered “Nirvana’s definitive drummer”. However, everything changed on April 5, 1994 with the suicide of Kurt Cobain, who became part of the illustrious and revered club of 27, which includes prestigious names such as Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin. . Cobain was only 27 years old and decided to take his own life, which inevitably ended with the dissolution of Nirvana.
27 years have passed since then, almost 28, and Grohl returns to remember those difficult moments due to the death of Taylor Hawkins, a man who considered him his “brother from another mother”. This was revealed by Hawkins himself in an interview last year in which he detailed how his first meeting with Grohl was: “I met Dave on this K-Rock Christmas show because Foo Fighters was on its way and Alanis Morissette was in the fucking stratosphere at the time.” It should be remembered that Taylor had achieved such success in those years that he had managed to play for the Canadian singer. “Dave and I seemed like long lost brothers in a weird way. We had a similar character and I don’t know why. I remember my friend playing with the Foo Fighters before he met Dave and watching them goof around backstage. He told me: ‘That guy could be your brother‘” he confessed.
A connection that saw even Alanis Morissette
“Effectively, when we met, we thought: ‘We are brothers from another mother!’ it was instantTo the point that Alanis Morissette said to me, ‘What are you going to do when Dave asks you to be the drummer for the Foo Fighters?’” he recalled. And that was how He entered the group in 1997 and would not separate until his early death this Friday.. Her relationship during these years has been very close, and despite the fact that she has not yet spoken, it is easy to think of the very hard moment that she will be going through with this new blow.
Both cases, in addition, have been surrounded by strange circumstances. During the last years of his life, Kurt Cobain suffered from depression, bronchial and stomach diseases, and strong addictions to drugs, especially heroin. His death was caused by a shotgun blast at his Seattle home and his body was not found until three days later. Now, with the death of Hawkins also surrounded by strange circumstances, the Bogotá Metropolitan Police maintains as its main hypothesis that his death “could be associated with the consumption of narcotic substances”.
