Foo Fighters Announce First Album Since Taylor Hawkins’ Death
Dave Grohl, the lead singer of the Foo Fighters, became Nirvana’s drummer in 1990. He brought a guitar to his tours and composed music. Grohl withheld these songs from the rest of the band because, as he admitted in 1997, “I was terrified by [front man Kurt Cobain’s compositions].
“I decided it would be better to keep my tunes to myself”. Grohl occasionally reserved studio time to record demos and covers of songs he loved, and in 1992, he even released a cassette of some of those songs under the alias “Late!” called Pocket watch.
American rock group Foo Fighters was founded in Seattle, Washington, in 1994. Dave Grohl, the drummer for Nirvana, started it as a solo endeavor after the band disbanded in the wake of Kurt Cobain’s suicide. The squad was known as “foo fighters” because of the UFOs and other airborne phenomena that Allied aircraft pilots witnessed during World War II.
Before the 1995 first album Foo Fighters was released, which included Grohl as the only official member, Grohl enlisted Sunny Day Real Estate’s former bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, as well as guitarist Pat Smear from Nirvana’s touring band, to round out the roster.
Taylor Hawkins and Franz Stahl were hired to take their places, but Stahl was let go before the group’s third album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose (1999), could be completed. Until Chris Shiflett joined as the band’s lead guitarist after There Is Nothing Left to Lose was finished, the band briefly performed as a trio. The group’s fourth album, One by One was released in 2002. In Your Honour, a two-disc album by the group released in 2005, included a mixture of stronger music and acoustic tracks. In 2007, the band Foo Fighters issued its sixth album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.
Four of the band’s albums have garnered Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album during the course of their career. The band alone has sold 12 million albums in the US as of 2015.
The band Foo Fighters has released their first record since the passing of Taylor Hawkins, its adored drummer. On June 2, Dave Grohl and the company will release “But Here We Are” and a new song called “Rescued.” The sequel to 2021’s Medicine at Midnight is dubbed “An extremely honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters have been through over the past year.“
Rockers Everlong has reconnected with producer Greg Kerstin for a 10-track collection to launch their new era. According to the press release, the music is “informed by decades of maturity and depth.”
But Here We Are is the sound of brothers seeking solace in the music that brought them together for the first time 28 years ago, a process that was both therapeutic and about moving on, he says. Taylor, who was 50 years old, was sadly discovered dead in his hotel room in Colombia in March 2022, just hours before the band was scheduled to play a festival in Bogotá.
It was not stated what caused the death. This comes after the band just debuted some intense new songs on social media. The Best of You singers have sworn to be “a different band moving forward” in the wake of Taylor’s tragic passing. In a statement to their followers, they wrote: “As we bid farewell to the hardest and most devastating year our band has ever known, we are reminded of how thankful we are for the loved ones who are no longer with us, as well as for the individuals we love and cherish the most.
