In an emotional reunion before his audience, the Foo Fighters gave a concert in London with a large number of guests where they paid tribute to the late musician Taylor Hawkins.

The guest list was really long., with big names like Paul McCartney, Stewart Copeland, Roger Taylor, Brian May, Geddy Lee, Brian Johnson y Liam Gallagher, among several others.

at the beginning of the show (which will also take place in Los Angeles) footage of Hawkins was broadcast, deceased in Colombia in full tour of the band. Then the concert would start with Liam Gallagher performing "Rock and roll star" and "Live forever", both Oasis tracks.

This was the first time that the band met again after the tragic episode that occurred in South American lands that obviously forced them to cancel the entire tour that days before had them in our country within the framework of the Lollapalooza festival..

on the verge of tears, Dave Grohl remembered his partner and friend, stating that "he always liked to record music every day" and he did this "with anyone and everyone", thus giving the explanation of the large number of guests that the night had.

Another of the emotional moments was when playing “My hero”, junto a Oliver Shane Hawkins (16) –Taylor's son- in the battery. as presentation, Grohl maintained that "I don't think I've ever seen anyone hit the drums as hard as this person.", whom he also recognized as "a member of our family".

In addition to the aforementioned, among the guests were Nile Rodgers, Chrissie Hynde the The Pretenders, Kesha, Sam Ryder, Wolfgang Van Halen, Supergrass, Mark Ronson and the leader of The Darkness, Justin Hawkins.

On the other hand, Elton John was present through a recorded message., who remembered him as "an incredible drummer" who played on his last album, fact that he was "so excited and honored".

Comedians Dave Chappelle and Jason Sudeikis were also part of the night, taking the stage to tell some of the funny anecdotes they had with Hawkins..

The next show will be 27 September in Los Angeles and the proceeds will be donated to the charities Music Support and MusiCares, the two chosen by the Taylor Hawkins family.
