For Chevy Metal’s final tune - and I should say that they’ve been joined throughout their set by Foo Fighters producer Greg Kurstin on keys - Kesha is singing David Bowie’s “Heroes” while wearing a sparkly silver cape. Jon Davison, who sings lead in the current version of the veteran prog-rock band Yes, has joined Chevy Metal and is hitting all the high notes in “Owner of a Lonely Heart.”ħ:38 p.m. “This is the hometown s-, so you gotta make it loud.” Grohl says the idea of tonight’s show is to “spend some time in musical mind, which could be a pretty terrifying place,” and to “celebrate this person that has touched our lives.”Įntertainment & Arts Taylor Hawkins’ 16-year-old son pounds the drums during powerful tribute to his dadįoo Fighters, Paul McCartney, Travis Barker and Queen were just some of the artists who participated in a tribute concert for the late Taylor Hawkins.ħ:31 p.m. “Welcome to the Los Angeles Taylor Hawkins tribute concert,” Dave Grohl announces. A lovely welcome to an evening of mourning and gratitude.ħ:13 p.m. The lights have gone down, and Grohl’s 16-year-old daughter, Violet, has taken the stage for a rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” (by way of Jeff Buckley), accompanied only by an electric guitarist. That night Hawkins said he’d been here to see Boston in 1986, while Grohl told the crowd that guitarist Pat Smear’s first concert had been at the Forum: a Rolling Stones gig in 1972 that featured Stevie Wonder as an opening act.ħ:06 p.m. I remember seeing the band here in 2015, not long after Dave Grohl had broken his leg and was playing shows while seated in a “Game of Thrones”-style chair. While the Kia Forum show is not streaming, The Times’ Mikael Wood will be reporting live beginning just before 7 p.m.ħ p.m. 3 at London’s Wembley Stadium, rockers including Liam Gallagher, Josh Homme, Wolfgang Van Halen, Travis Barker and Paul McCartney all paid their musical respects Hawkins’ son Shane, a powerhouse drummer like his dad, joined the Foos on “My Hero” and brought the crowd, live and watching via stream around the world, to tears.Įxpected guests tonight include Stewart Copeland, Miley Cyrus, Joan Jett, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Brian May, Alanis Morissette, Mark Ronson, Gene Simmons, Nikki Sixx, Chad Smith and Roger Taylor. Tonight at the Kia Forum, the Foo Fighters and Hawkins’ family will present the second all-star tribute concert to the late drummer, some 50 miles from Laguna Beach, where Hawkins first started pounding on a kit and dreaming of rock stardom. Six months later, those sentiments ring truer than ever. “Dave Grohl is the heart of Foo Fighters, but Taylor Hawkins was its rock star,” read the headline in The Times following Hawkins’ death on March 25 at age 50.
