He joined the Foo Fighters in 1997 on the band&#8217;s tour for \u201cThe Color and The Shape\u201d and contributed to the 15 Grammys the band has won since its inception.  The group, known for songs such as \u201cBest of You\u201d and \u201cLearn To Fly,\u201d was inducted into the Rock &#038; Roll Hall of Fame last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Grohl, 53, developed a close connection with Hawkins over the years they performed together, and the former Nirvana drummer wrote that Hawkins was \u201ca man for whom I would take a bullet\u201d in his autobiography published last year.  The Foo Fighters frontman was choked up with emotion in the middle of singing the band&#8217;s classic song \u201cTimes Like These\u201d during the tribute concert.  He took a moment to wipe tears from his face as fans cheered in support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Oliver Shane Hawkins, the late drummer&#8217;s 16-year-old son, took his father&#8217;s seat to drum for the tribute concert rendition of \u201cMy Hero.\u201d  Grohl&#8217;s 16-year-old daughter, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jbuckleyarchive\/status\/1566132231533477891\" target=\"_blank\">violet<\/a>covered Jeff Buckley&#8217;s \u201cLast Goodbye\u201d and \u201cGrace\u201d to honor Hawkins, who she said introduced Buckley&#8217;s album to her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<div data-oembed-type=\"twitter\" class=\"\" style=\"min-height:171px\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shane Hawkins, the 16 year old son of the late Taylor Hawkins playing the drums during \u201cMy Hero\u201d with the Foo Fighters during the tribute show to his dad, has me \ud83d\ude2d <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pBiyPurMC9\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/pBiyPurMC9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Travis Akers (@travisakers) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/travisakers\/status\/1566226743148662787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">September 4, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">The Grohls and Oliver were rounded out by a circle of musical legends who came to pay their respects to the drummer.  Among them were Queen&#8217;s Roger Taylor and Brian May, AC\/DC singer Brian Johnson and producer\/musician Nile Rodgers.  Alternative rock group Them Crooked Vultures, which included Grohl, and rock band James Gang both reunited for the concert after more than a decade apart.
