Colombian Police have released a statement offering what may be a clue into what caused death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who has died in Colombia at the age of 50.
The band had been due to play at the Festival Estereo Picnic in Bogota on Friday night, but the band never made the show after Hawkins was found dead in a hotel room in the city.
Colombian newspapers have reported a statement from the city’s police, in which it was said: “The cause of death has yet to be established.”
But the brief statement seemed to suggest investigators had been given some clues about Hawkins’ cause of death.
“According to those close to him, the death could be related to the consumption of drugs,” it said.
Music luminaries such as Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page and Lars Ulrich have paid tribute to Hawkins on social media after news of shocking death broke on Saturday.
Metallica drummer Ulrich revealed he spoke to Hawkins on the phone just last week.
“At BottleRock recently, I had the best seat in the house right above you and once again stood in amazement watching as you effortlessly steered Foo Fighters through a two hour festival set with the perfect balance of swing, swagger, bounce and insane chops,” Ulrich wrote.
“Your phone call a week ago touched and inspired me and I will always be appreciative for you championing our community as in your parting words… ‘Drummers stick together!’
“Damn right brother. Except now the community is lesser without you.”
Led Zeppelin guitarist Page was another to take to social media, writing about a performance he did with the Foo Fighters in 2008.
“We played Rock and Roll with Taylor on turbocharged vocals and Dave on drums and then for Ramble On they swapped, with Taylor on drums and Dave Grohl on vocals,” he wrote.
“We put in some serious versions of these two songs.
“It was so good to play with him. I really admired him and he was a brilliant musician: his technique, his energy and spirited enthusiasm.”
The Foo Fighters released a statement confirming Hawkins’ death.
“The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins. His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever,” the US rock group said in a post on Twitter.
“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.”
