What a shit week. It was only days ago that post rock band Talons, who've been a very special band for me personally over the last 13 years, announced the passing of their violinist Sam Little. Now waking up to the news about Taylor Hawkins, and it suddenly feels that it isn't just people from the older generations that are going but people 10 years either side of me who seemed like they had years ahead of them.

Ahh man, that one is a kick in the gut. Im a Foo Fighters fan, but Taylor Hawkins seemed like one of those universally loved musicians who everybody seemed to love. Sad, sad news.

RIP.

It's no age at all. Always had a soft spot for his side project, The Coattail Riders. Always came across as mates pissing about, and getting his heroes to play with him but they managed to make some great songs.

Yep I completely own that. Poor on my part. Apologies.

Just saw the news about Tom Parker. I know he’d been having some specialist treatment to help and I believe had planned to go back on tour only early this year. 33 is no age at all

Two young kids as well. Awful. I just remembered that I actually saw The Wanted perform live on stage in Las Vegas of all places when I went to the Billboard awards that year. Not a band I ever followed but Glad You Came was their hit in America at the time and it was a decent pop song.
