Oh my goodness. This is terrible news.

What a great drummer!

Shocking news. RIP

Proper shocked to wake up to this.

Rip cool dude X

I’m gutted, and feel for his family, and the band. RIP.

50 is no age. And looked so young. And so happy doing what he was doing.

Can’t stop thinking about it. As hard as Mark Lanegan’s death hit me it was really a shock, but this one is so out of the blue

They were due to play a gig today but instead candles were placed on the stage when the crowd were told the news

Aww Man. Haven’t followed them for years but had that little drum break from Gimme Stitches going round my head all day yesterday. He always seemed to be having the best fun.

Awful

The drums on this still sound so good

He spoke in interviews about how keen he was for them to bring Aurora back into the set. A beautiful song that the drums underpin in such an understated but perfect way.

They opened with Aurora when I saw them at Brixton touring TISNLTL. Remains my favourite ever opening to a set. So unexpected, and such an amazing song.

I can’t get on with anything after that album, but those first 3 will always be all timers for me.

So many of the greatest nights of my teens were spent watching or just listening to the Foos.

Taylor’s energy was so joyous. This feels like such a huge shock.

When you’re emotionally ready, here’s a 50 minute interview and drumming masterclass
