More acts have been added to the list for the Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts next month, which people are very excited about.
Three months after Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins died, the band and his family announced two concerts with a lot of famous people to honor his life.
The first concert will be on September 3 at Wembley Stadium in London, and the second will be on September 27 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Liam Gallagher, Brian May, and Mark Ronson will be there, but so will Nile Rogers, Travis Barker, and Shane Hawkins, who is Taylor’s son.
Along with Dave Chappell, Chris Rock will also be there as a special guest.
One of the gig’s beneficiaries will be the charity Music Support, which helps people who work in music and live events and are struggling with mental illness or addiction.
The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts will benefit charities in the UK chosen by the Hawkins family. Beneficiaries and further details will be announced shortly.
