    Surely Dave Grohl can't keep going now? Given the shit he has dealt with over the journey I find it hard to believe they'll go on without Taylor.

    Fucking tragic. As any early loss is. I feel for his family and friends.

    Just tragic. The stuff around Cobain is still painful for him. So all that will come back on top of this. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that’s it now.

    I’m due to see them in June.

    His best mate since high school as well.

    Taylor and he were close as shit. His latest book spells that out. It's fucking terrible for that bloke as much as anyone. He and Pat Smear know a loooot of dudes who aren't with us any more.

    The Cats Paws has died. RIP.

    Just read that article. Sad when anyone dies young, but couldn't help thinking her attitude of "It's OK and normal to be fat and society's attitudes to obesity is shameful and we should unlearn them" - and her physical condition - might have had something to do with it.

    I just really hope it’s natural snd not something else.

    Hard to see Grohl continuing. Drummer in one of the biggest bands out there …. Front man dies. Front man of one of the biggest bands out there. Drummer dies.

    Incredible life but lots of tragedy too.

    I'm conflicted a lttle here.

    I'm sad for anyone's passing.

    And I'm in the midst of wondering what Cat Pause's cause of death was... part of me is waiting for the Lifeline contact details at the end of the stories.

    That is, it would not surprise me if the whole 'fat is awesome' persona just dragged her down.

    Similarity, would not be surprised if heart attack.

    It's all Steven Crowder, err sorry Sea Matheson's fault.

    Discrimination in healthcare for being fat ?

    If the shoe fits…..

    RIP and all of that but shit I hate all that ‘poor me, I’m fat’ bullshit when just about 100% of the time it’s personal choice.

    There's a level of health you can sustain being a bit overweight.

    But you won't get away from many sabertooth tigers doing it, because everyone is going to be faster than you.

    Will say tho: becoming an academic to make a case for your chocolate fetish is next level.

    Drugs. I suppose that’s somewhat natural for a rock musician.

    @majorrage apparently toxicology reports show 10 different substances in bloodstream including opiates, marijuana and anti-depressants

    Not gonna lie: angry. Had promised my kids (and myself!) the best rock show of their lives and then this happens.

    A guy who was on top of the world, with the money and fame to do almost anything he wanted, decided to smash some dodgy gear instead.

    I'm not going to idolise him and pretend he could do no wrong. I'm also of the belief that people can do what they like with their bodies.

    But you'd think at age 50 with a long history of drug use, he'd know how to get high without fucking killing himself.

    It’s not called doing smarts for a reason

    I'd say that's the end of the band TBH.

    Grohl took a couple of years off from Nirvana before starting the Foos didn't he? It will be tough to replace him because he was such an integral part of the band and a close friend. But Grohl is too young to stop just yet

    Haven't seen anything from promoters yet, am hoping "all upcoming" means next 3 months...

    I know Hawkins was a great mate, but I also wonder if these guys see so many people destroy their lives that that become a little less sensitive to it... And maybe they find a way to move on...

    Wishful thinking???

    Fairly sure they’ll do the Led Zep thing and call it a day without their longtime drummer even though there would be a shitload of guys lining up to replace him.

    Maybe Grohl and some other guys keep going, but not as Foo Fighters. Maybe not even together...

    Dave had numerous side projects as well. It's not like he'll stay idle.
