Foo Fighters will soon announce the line-up for each show.
Foo Fighters will celebrate the life and music of Taylor Hawkins with his family at two special concerts in London and Los Angeles later this year.
Described as ‘all-star’ occasions, the shows are due to take place at Wembley Stadium on September 3rd and at the Kia Forum on September 27th.
Hawkins passed away in March whilst on tour with the band he had become synonymous with since he joined up in 1997.
“The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of Taylor Hawkins,” a statement read.
“His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. 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.”
