Foo Fighters will not be performing at Sunday’s Grammy Awards following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins last Friday, Rolling Stone has learned.
The band is nominated for three awards for the night: Making a Fire for Best Rock Performance, Waiting on a War for Best Rock Song and Medicine at Midnight for Best Rock Album.
Her canceled Grammy performance comes after the group canceled all upcoming tour stops to focus on Hawkins’ grief.
“It is with great sadness that Foo Fighters confirm the cancellation of all upcoming tour dates following the devastating loss of our brother Taylor Hawkins,” the band said in a statement earlier this week. “We regret and share the disappointment that we will not see each other as planned. Instead, let’s take this time to grieve, heal, draw loved ones closer, and cherish all the music and memories we’ve made together.”
Hawkins died in Bogotá, Colombia while the band was preparing for a show at the Estéro Picnic Festival. An exact cause of death has not yet been determined, but Colombia’s Attorney General said at least 10 substances were found in Hawkins, including antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids.
It’s unclear how the Recording Academy plans to honor Hawkins as part of the show. Jack Sussman, executive vice president of specials, music and live events at CBS, told Variety on Wednesday, “We will honor his memory in some way. We want to find out what is the right thing to do that is respectful of everyone involved. we are patient We plan to the end.”
