Lars Ulrich, Geezer Butler, Sebastian Bach, and More Announced for Taylor Hawkins Tribute Shows
More details have emerged about the twin Taylor Hawkins tribute shows planned in London on September 3 at Wembley Stadium and Los Angeles on September 23 at the Kia Forum.
In an effort to get the show in front of as many people as possible, Paramount announced they will be livestreaming the London show across the company’s multiple platforms, including Paramount+, Pluto TV, and MTV YouTube channels. An hour-long special will also be aired that day on CBS and MTV.
While the band wouldn’t categorize themselves as metal, and we certainly wouldn’t, that doesn’t mean that one of the biggest rock bands on the planet didn’t make acquaintances in our realm of music. Over the years, Dave Grohl, Hawkins, and the rest of the band grew close with numerous metal stalwarts, including Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, who will be at both shows, Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, and former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach.
Today’s announcement also reveals that Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson, and The Darkness singer/guitarist Justin Hawkins will also participate.
The September 3 show will likely be the first time that the surviving Foo Fighters members will be seen at a major event since they cancelled all future shows in the wake of Hawkins’ sudden death.
