Hawkins' official cause of death has still not been announced. None of the band's members, nor any of Hawkins' family, agreed to be interviewed for the story. “No, there was never a ‘heart-to-heart’ - or any sort of meeting on this topic - with Dave and ,” the representative insisted, adding that Hawkins “never informed Dave and ” of his feelings regarding the band’s schedule. He said, ‘I can’t continue on this schedule, and so we’ve got to figure out something.'”Ī representative for the Foo Fighters and their management denied all of the reports given to Rolling Stone. According to the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, that incident was “one of the straws that broke the camel’s back.” “After that, had a real important heart-to-heart with Dave and the management.

“He just said he was exhausted and collapsed, and they had to pump him full of IVs and stuff,” Smith explained to Rolling Stone.

At the time, reports didn’t identify which member of the Foo Fighters received medical attention. Hawkins was rumored to have lost consciousness during a flight last December. I can’t look at the goddamn tour schedule. Jordan recalled texting with Hawkins about getting together the next time the Foo Fighters played in Toronto.

“Honestly, I think he was just so tired,” opined Sass Jordan, the Canadian singer who gave Hawkins his first professional job and remained close friends with the drummer. “He just did whatever it took to keep up, and in the end he couldn’t keep up.” “So I guess they did come to some understanding, but it just seems like the touring schedule got even crazier after that.” “He told me that he ‘couldn’t fucking do it anymore’ - those were his words,” Cameron revealed, adding that he believed Hawkins and Foo Fighters’ frontman Dave Grohl had engaged in a “heart-to-heart” on the topic. Both musicians recalled that the late Foo Fighters drummer had complained about his band’s exhaustive work schedule. In a recently published story, Rolling Stone interviewed several of Hawkins' close friends, including Pearl Jam’s Matt Cameron and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers. I am truly sorry to have taken part in this interview and I apologize that my participation may have caused harm to those for whom I have only the deepest respect and admiration."Ī new report has suggested that Taylor Hawkins was burned out by the Foo Fighters’ demanding schedule prior to his death. I have only the deepest love and respect for Taylor, Dave and the Foo Fighters families. Taylor was a dear friend, and a next level artist. "My quotes were taken out of context and shaped into a narrative I had never intended. "When I agreed to take part in the Rolling Stone article about Taylor, I assumed it would be a celebration of his life and work," he wrote. UPDATE: Drummer Matt Cameron distanced himself from the Rolling Stone report in a statement shared to Instagram on Tuesday.

Had I known that, I never would have talked to the magazine, and I apologize for any pain my participation in the article may have caused his family and his musical friends. "I was asked by Rolling Stone to talk about Taylor for a tribute article and I certainly didn’t expect it to be a piece about his last days. "Taylor was one of my best friends and I would do anything for his family," the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer told Yahoo Entertainment.
