Foo Fighters performed for the first time since drummer Taylor Hawkins’ tragic March passing on Saturday, taking over Wembley Stadium in England for a star-studded tribute to the musician.
They were joined a huge roster of musicians at the concert — from Hawkins’ self-proclaimed idols to artists he made music with outside of his main band. Among those who performed were Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor, AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, Liam Gallagher, and Travis Barker.
There were also unexpected reunions (Them Crooked Vultures and James Gang), surprise guests (Paul McCartney!), and members of the band’s own family: Shane Hawkins and Olivia Grohl each spent time on stage.
