A Madonna classic just got an even more electrifying upgrade. Earlier this month, Madge’s Ray Of Lightcut “Frozen” went viral in the form of a remix on TikTok. Canadian producer Sickick gave the song its magic touch to be later officially released with a guest verse from Afrobeats star Fireboy DML. But now, “Frozen” is even hotter with a new remix with verses by 070 Shake.
The remix is accompanied by a meta-style music video, directed by Ryan Drake and Ricardo Gomes, which sees the two in a car chase, which is later revealed to be a video game.
“070 Shake is indescribably mysterious and alluring,” said Madonna in a statement. There are very few women in the trap music world that aren’t pandering to men. Her lyrics are deep and unique — there is no one like her. I’m excited for the world to discover her!”
Though this may be true for many TikTok users, some may boast they’ve already discovered 070 Shake through her appearances on Kanye West’s “Ghost Town” in 2018 and on “Scar” from Beyonce’s compilation album The Gift, produced to accompany the 2019 iteration of Disney’s The Lion King.
Check out the latest “Frozen” remix above.
Madonna is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Hawaii Police Assistant Chief Kenneth Quiocho told AP News that “Miller took issue late Sunday with people singing the Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper ballad “Shallow” at a bar mostly frequented by locals in Hilo, a small town on the Big Island.” The assistant chief said the song “aggravated” Miller, and that they “yelled obscenities, grabbed a mic from a singing woman and lunged at a man playing darts.”
Given the song’s low and slow beginnings and the ultimately dramatic climax, it seems like a tough choice for an amateur to pull off at karaoke, and the odds of any informal rendition of the song being quite bad are extremely high. Still, attacking someone over a bad song at karaoke seems pretty antithetical to the point of karaoke. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper have not weighed in on the role their song played in the story, though Gaga fans are certainly here for a couple jokes about the incident on Twitter.
Lady Gaga’s “Shallow” reaches a new peak as the Oscar winning mega hit sends actor Ezra Miller to jail.
god bless 2022 media outlets for respectfully using ezra miller’s preferred pronouns while reporting about them robbing and threatening their hawaiian hosts after they bailed them out of jail for attacking people in a karaoke bar for singing shallow by lady gaga & bradley cooper
Every tongue that rises against Lady Gaga shall fall maybe Ezra Miller was in a gay bar?? Hmmm anyways, I’m excited for his Flash movie tho… https://t.co/iRfB5ozdYW
Additionally, Miller has been involved in at least ten other incidents on the island that led to the police being called since March 7, and according to Quiocho, it’s not clear how long Miller has been staying in Hawaii. Hopefully they avoid that karaoke bar, and all future covers of “Shallow,” from now on.
Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn’t made a comeback. That doesn’t mean everybody is listening to just their parents’ old music, though. That’s part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty.
Whatever you might be into, each month brings a new slew of vinyl releases that has something for everybody. Some stand out above the rest, naturally, so check out some of our favorite vinyl releases of March below.
Summer Walker — Still Over It
LVRN/Interscope Records
Summer Walker’s latest, Still Over It, was a No. 1 album, and now you can own it as a literal album, i.e. a vinyl record. You have options, too: Aside from the classic black pressing, there’s also a stunning gold edition available.
PJ Harvey — The Hope Six Demolition Project and The Hope Six Demolition Project – Demos
UMe/Island
The Hope Six Demolition Project was one of the more interesting recording projects of recent years, as recording sessions were open to the public as part of an art installation. On top of the base album now being available on vinyl, The Hope Six Demolition Project – Demos is also available, pulling the curtain back even further on an album that didn’t have much curtain to begin with.
Get The Hope Six Demolition Projecthere. Get The Hope Six Demolition Project – Demoshere.
Aaliyah — Aaliyah (Vinyl Me, Please Reissue)
Vinyl Me, Please
A posthumous album from Aaliyah came out earlier this year, but if you’re looking to get back to the basics, Vinyl Me, Please has a first-ever pressing of her self-titled album. This edition is 2-LP Red & Gold Galaxy colored vinyl that was half-speed remastered, meaning this ought to be the best this iconic artist has ever sounded on a turntable.
Lil Uzi Vert — Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World (Vinyl Me, Please Reissue)
Vinyl Me, Please
It’s a great month over at Vinyl Me, Please, as they’re also currently offering a rerelease of Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World. VMP always nails their vinyl colors and they’ve done so again here, as this one is pressed on gorgeous 180g Neon Green vinyl.
Karen Dalton — In My Own Time (50th Anniversary Reissue)
Light In The Attic
Karen Dalton’s In My Own Time is one of the most beloved albums of the ’70s, and for those who adore it, this new 50th anniversary takes things to a new level. This version expands on a 2006 reissue of the album, as it includes a newly remastered version of the record, including alternate takes from album sessions and a replica playbill from The Montreux Golden Rose Pop Festival, six live Dalton performances from which are included in this set.
Bon Iver, Bon Iver is one of the most iconic albums of its era, and now that it’s a decade old, Bon Iver has given it a rerelease. The art of the vinyl edition is subtle in photos but surely striking in person, as it’s a stark white embossed version of the original art. Phoebe Bridgers also wrote a touching essay for the reissue, so here’s a chance to own a physical copy of that.
Before Brian Eno was a production and ambient music icon, he enjoyed success as part of Roxy Music. He was with the band for their first two albums, Roxy Music and For Your Pleasure, and now those two LPs have gotten new remastered editions. For Your Pleasure is one for movie fans, too, as here’s something you may not have known: Dame Judi Dench actually offers some spoken word on that album’s title track.
Nicholas Britell — Moonlight: The Celebration (Deluxe 5 Year Anniversary Box Set)
A24
It’s been five years since Moonlight and now Nicholas Britell’s soundtrack is getting an expansive new rerelease. There’s a lot going on in this 8-pound set, including 11 previously unreleased tracks, 100+ pages of photography, handwritten sheet music, and more.
After her recent work leaned experimental, Charli XCX decided to go full-blown pop on her latest album, Crash, and the infinitely catchy results speak for themselves. Now, Urban Outfitters has an exclusive vinyl release of the album, pressed on nice, clean white vinyl.
Mac Miller’s music has continued to be celebrated since his death, the latest such example being the new 10th-anniversary edition of Macadelic. This one comes with an embossed cover, 3-color red-black-white LPs, and an 11×17 poster. Furthermore, part of the proceeds from this release will benefit The Mac Miller Fund.
Keith Richards — Main Offender (30th Anniversary Edition)
BMG
Keith Richards is of course best known for his work with the Rolling Stones, but he has a nice little library of solo albums, too. Now, his second one, 1992’s Main Offender, is celebrating its 30th anniversary. To mark the occasion, a huge new box set version of the album is out now and it has just about everything a fan of the LP could want: Previously unreleased live performances, reproduction promo and tour materials, and an 88-page book featuring photos and so much more.
Despite the pandemic scuttling productions just a few months after Disney+ launched, the House of Mouse’s streaming service managed to churn out a total of six Star Wars and Marvel series in the platform’s first two years. Marvel, in particular, made a huge splash as all four of its series dropped in 2021. But when it comes to which series dominated viewing time on Disney+, there’s one clear winner and it’s not even close.
According to a new report on the platform’s viewing data for its completed series, The Mandalorian is far and away the biggest hit on Disney+, and none of the Marvel shows even came close to its monstrous Season 2. By the end of 2021, the bounty hunting series had racked up a massive 14.5 billion minutes of viewing time, with 8.4 million of that coming just from Season 2’s eight-week run. The only Marvel series to put up the slightest hint of a fight was Loki.
None of the Marvel shows has topped either Mandalorian season in terms of total viewing time, although Loki came close during its first season in June and July. The six-episode season drew 5.23 billion minutes of watch time and was the first (and only, thus far) Marvel series to exceed 1 billion minutes in a single week. By virtue of its smaller episode order, Loki had the highest average watch time of any Marvel or Star Wars series, with slightly less than 872 million minutes per episode in its six weeks.
Despite The Mandalorian being an absolute juggernaut for Disney+, its spinoff series, The Book of Boba Fett has not fared as well. During its seven-episode run, the series put up viewing numbers that were on par for a Marvel show, but it wasn’t even half of The Mandalorian Season 2. And not for lack of trying, The Book of Boba Fett heavily featured Mando and Grogu, who are apparently the magic bullets over at Disney+.
Of the main characters from season one of The Walking Dead, only two are still on the show: Daryl and Carol. The duo, played by Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, formed the strongest emotional bond over the course of 11 seasons, and they’ll appear in a spin-off once the original series is over. Speaking of, Reedus commemorated the last day of filming on The Walking Dead as the show wrapped its final season this week.
“That’s a wrap. 11 seasons 12 years. Never been so beat up and it was an absolute blast. Thank you to all of you that took this ride with us and what a ride it was,” he wrote on Instagram. In a video posted to director Greg Nicotero’s account, Reedus added, “Love you, buddy. Thank you for everything. It’s been a real joy. I feel like my entire brain is short circuiting right now. I can’t really wrap my head around this.”
How does Reedus plan on celebrating the occasion? “I’ll be on the bathroom floor with a martini and tears.” Add an Entenmann’s coffeecake, too. Go nuts.
The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang also posted about the final day of filming on social media. “Thanks to everyone who’s sent well wishes to those of us who work on the show today. It’s been an amazing ride,” she wrote, along with a special shoutout to Lauren Cohan, who’s (mostly) been there since season two.
The Walking Dead series finale will air later this year.
As the infamous Oscars slap continues to be parsed through for details (and potential disciplinary action for Will Smith), a new camera angle has emerged that shows Jada Pinkett Smith‘s reaction after her husband slapped Chris Rock. The footage was filmed on a phone from just a few seats behind Jada, and the most notable moment comes in the first few seconds. As Rock announces that “Will Smith just slapped the sh*t out of me,” Jada appears to be seen (from the back view, so it’s tough to tell) laughing, just like most of the audience does before it became clear that the incident was not a scripted bit. When Will begins screaming, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f*cking mouth” twice, and Rock responds seriously with, “I’m going to, OK?” Jada makes no reaction and sits motionless as the gravity of the situation sets in.
Considering these people are all professional actors, there’s not a lot to infer from the moment, but it is an interesting perspective as we sift through the aftermath of The Slap.
In other new details, the Academy revealed on Wednesday night that, despite reports to the contrary, Will Smith was allegedly asked to leave the Oscars after assaulting Rock. However, the actor refused to leave, and there are conflicting reports on whether Smith was personally asked or the Academy merely suggested it to his publicist. According to TMZ, Smith’s reps got into a “heated conversation” with “plenty of ‘yelling’” at producers and Academy president David Rubin.
Technology brings us together in the most innovative and powerful ways. We can see the faces of loved ones from miles away. Online classes make learning more accessible than ever. Entire communities sharing common interests and passions are built virtually. Though it can distract us, and disconnect us, technology also has the potential to remind us that we are not alone.
That was the case for transgender activists Jim and Kat Blake.
Just two people in love and trying to live their best lifeAll images by Charles Ommanney, used with permission
Before they created the Trans Job Connect Facebook group, to say life was lonely would be an understatement. Both grew up in Mississippi, and after coming out were met with anything but a welcome embrace. Instead, their families ostracized them, friends stopped returning their calls, and fellow employees harassed them. Kat was even assaulted at work – a much larger co-worker knocked her on the back with a shovel and threatened to murder her if he ever saw her again. It was clear that this was no longer their home.
Finding belonging wouldn’t be easy. Their adventure began when they packed up their belongings (along with their two kiddos) and hit the road in a camper van. Little did they know that it would evolve into a 10,000 mile, three year journey. Along the way, they soon realized that Mississippi – or the South for that matter – wasn’t the only place where transgender people were refused resources. Even institutions designed to offer humanitarian support like churches, charity organizations, and homeless prevention programs denied the Blake family help in their time of need.
Securing a new job proved to be a near insurmountable obstacle. Jim would commonly receive the generic response of, “We’ve decided not to move forward” or “ We don’t feel you’re the best fit” following an interview. That is, if he heard anything at all. Many times, it would just be crickets. But the message was still clear: he wasn’t wanted.
Knowing they weren’t the only ones experiencing these kinds of hardships, Jim and Kat were determined to not just create a supportive, affirming community for themselves, but for as many transgender folks as possible.
Kat began working with Trans Lifeline, a peer support group call center, talking to multiple people a day, while Jim researched job discrimination, finding some pretty overwhelming statistics. Helping others relieved some of the isolation, but not all. And it didn’t spread any education for finding work.
Then Jim had an idea that would set them on a brand new path. “What if we made a Facebook Group?”
Facebook’s platform allows for super specific, ultra niche interest groups. You’ve seen them: “Millennial Women Who Love Ducks,” or “Marathon Runners Who Only Listen to EDM.” Facebook Groups make it easy to form friendships based on common interests from anywhere in the world. It can also make it easy for specific (and often underepresented) demographics like transgender, queer, and non-binary people to access a support group made just for them.
Trans Job Connect, as the name implies, helps transgender people gain access to all the tools they might need to find secure employment. And for many, the major challenge is the interview. Namely, in interview clothes. As Jim notes, 34% of transgender people have a yearly income of less than $10K, and aren’t able to afford a wardrobe that expresses their new gender.
Couple this with gender dysphoria (the sense of unease a person may feels when there’s a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender), and it’s a recipe for low confidence. As anyone who has bombed an interview due to not feeling your best knows, being comfortable in our own skin is crucial. Trans Job Connect partners with an organization to provide binders and transition specific clothing, so that candidates can present themselves authentically and self-assured.
In addition, the group holds resume workshops, matches candidates to trans-inclusive businesses, and hosts in-person and virtual job fairs. Though Jim noted that the first bit of the virtual fair was a tad wonky (as in, the awkwardness of first time dealings with technical issues), the group still succeeded. 100 people were interviewed. 10 moved onto a second round. 13 were hired on the spot.
Using Facebook Group Insights, an analytic tool that tracks member engagement and post performance, Trans Job Connect has been able to curate content that its members are interested in the most, making it an invaluable resource. Delivering potentially life-changing knowledge to those who often receive very little in “the real world”, it’s no wonder that TJC now boasts a total of over 1600 members. And since it’s humble beginnings in 2017, the group has assisted 348 trans/queer individuals with their job search.
Jim and Kat have nothing but pride for their virtual community, and they have no plans to stop growing it. They currently use the group to recruit volunteers, set appointments, converse with clients, and announce events. For them, Facebook remains a “great hub for organization, recruitment, fellowship, and support.”
When the Blakes set out on their road trip back in 2015, it might have been for survival. But now, they are fearless – and on a mission to help others reclaim a sense of belonging. They might have not expected Facebook to play such a large part in that endeavor, but it’s helped make their vision a reality. When we use technology to connect us to our humanity, great things happen.
Aside from Ja Rule, the two people many folks wanted to hear from the most about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock were Rock himself and August Alsina. Rock, obviously, was the victim of the slap — he’s fine, by the way, everybody should maybe calm down a hair — while Alsina is the singer who was reportedly “entangled” with Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith, a thing for which all three were roundly abused in the media for about a year (you’ll remember that Smith attacked Rock after the comedian joked about Jada’s hair). Both men finally addressed the incident yesterday; Chris onstage at his Boston show, and August via — where else? — his Instagram account.
Posting a selfie to his feed (not his Story as so many celebrities tend to do), Alsina didn’t directly mention the slap, but he did advise readers to ‘choose peace,’ something he appears to be doing himself. “Trusting that life’s intricate puzzle pieces are all forming together for the greater good and mastering of the seasonally sometime chaotic nature of your life’s art piece that’s being formed and painted by birthing life to your internal masterpiece,” he wrote. “grown through external chaos-metamorphosing alchemy, dark turned 2 light and beauty within. I’m A Walking Billboard & Network Simply Desiring To Televise & Broadcast Love, the love, grace and healing embrace of God, Good Music that’s healing (w/ a lil bit of nasty).”
Alsina’s involvement in the Smiths allegedly open relationship made waves online throughout 2020 when it was revealed that he was supposedly dating the older Jada. Social media had several field days with that information and the episode of Jada’s Red Table Talk in which she addressed the relationship smashed the show’s one-day viewing totals by rather a lot. And now that we’ve all driven up the streams of J. Cole’s “Jada and Will love” name-checking single “No Role Modelz” and heard from everyone except Daniel Radcliffe about the incident, perhaps it’s finally time to move on.
The last we heard from Dan Bejar, it was early 2020 and he was touring behind a spooky and prescient Destroyer album, Have We Met. A sinister work rife with apocalyptic warnings about the future, the album hit almost too close to home when, just over one month after it was released, the world was forced to shut down due to Covid-19. If the Vancouver native earned some credibility as an oracle on the last Destroyer LP, his latest effort points in a more upbeat direction. While the lyrics contain some of the darkest lines of Bejar’s career — so dark that Bejar talks about “the singer” on this record in the third person — the music grooves hard, drawing on an unlikely but somehow compatible combination of influences drawn from techno and rave cultures as well as gloomily catchy ’80s English alt-rock bands like New Order and The Cure. It’s similar to the musical palettes utilized on Have We Met and 2017’s Ken — Bejar considers Labyrinthitis the concluding part of a trilogy with those records — but on the new album there’s a greater feeling of exuberance. It surely is the most danceable music Destroyer has yet made.
2. Nilüfer Yanya, Painless
This buzzy British singer-songwriter was a breakout artist back in 2019, thanks to an eclectic amalgam of influences suggesting that Yanya ultimately wants to fuse the slinky grace of Sade with the sort of chunky and lovably punk anthems associated with Blink-182 and Libertines. Her latest LP has been in constant rotation for me this month — I can’t decide if the manic Hail To The Thief-style electro-rock of “Stabilse” or the smoldering drum machine workout “Midnight Sun” is my favorite track. But I haven’t gotten sick yet of playing them over and over again as I try to figure it.
3. Wednesday, Mowing The Leaves Instead of Piling ‘Em Up
This North Carolina band is quickly becoming one of the fascinating roots-leaning indie acts. This new covers album speaks to their uncommon range and ambition — country legends Roger Miller and Gary Stewart commingle with The Wipers’ Greg Sage and Adore-era Smashing Pumpkins. (Finally some justice for “Perfect.”) But my favorite tracks meet somewhere in the middle of those poles — the garage-rock take on Drive-By Truckers’ “Women Without Whiskey” and the gorgeous meltdown of Chris Bell’s immortal “I Am The Cosmos,” which just might be my new favorite version of that classic.
4. Goose
Along with being a fan of their music — I’ve seen them three times, which qualifies me as a medium-devoted follower by obsessive listener standards — “the next great American jam band” Goose fascinates me as an observer of both the indie and jam scenes, and the invisible veil that separates those worlds. Goose in many ways signifies that divide, even as they are attempting to bridge it. Their forthcoming album due in June, Dripfield, presents a litmus test for how a band like Goose is perceived by the mainstream media. Recorded in March of 2021 in Woodstock, New York, it was produced by D. James Goodwin, whose previous credits include records by Kevin Morby, Craig Finn, Bonny Light Horsemen, Whitney, and jam scene O.G. Bob Weir. And the sonic touchstones fall squarely in that sort of company — Goose’s most obvious influences include legacy indie acts such as Bon Iver, Radiohead, Fleet Foxes, and Vampire Weekend. I normally don’t listen to jam bands for their studio work — even the Grateful Dead struggled to capture their live magic on wax. But Dripfield is a consistently engaging pop-psychedelic record, like a trippier Father Of The Bride. While it is technically Goose’s third studio LP, it feels like a proper debut, far outstripping its predecessors in terms of quality and ambition.
5. James Krivchenia, “The Science Of Imaginary Solutions”
The drummer for Big Thief took a lead role on the recent Dragon New Mountain I Believe In You as a producer. But on his own, he does the opposite of Big Thief. The forthcoming Blood Karaoke (due April 15) suggests that future BT shows might have a “Drums/Space” section. You can hear this on full display on this recent single from the album — it’s some of the most bonkers music you’ll hear this month, veering from aggressive dance music to apocalyptic explosions to new age meanderings and then back to body-stirring techno. Basically anything but the gentle and stirring folk-rock of his regular band.
6. Caracara, New Preoccupations
My favorite “shiny guitar” album of the moment. Produced by “shiny guitar” aficionado Will Yip, New Preoccuptions has been described by this Philly band as a druggy album about recovery, which you sense from the charged, blurred sonics and the scarred but hopeful lyrics. But, admittedly, my relationship with this record isn’t quite that deep. At the moment, I am preoccupied by how New Preoccuptions relentlessly targets my ’90s alt-rock pleasure centers. I refer specifically to the post-grunge half of the decade, when bands like Third Eye Blind and Matchbox Twenty shed the sludge and went straight for soaring hooks. There’s also a generous helping of Bleed American-era Jimmy Eat World here. (I know that came out in 2001 but that record capped the previous decade’s pop-rock epoch.)
7. Band Of Horses, Things Are Great
My favorite moment in any recent interview I’ve done occurred earlier this month when Ben Bridwell brought up a negative review I wrote for Band Of Horses’ Mirage Rock a decade ago. The moment was good-natured, though I think he enjoyed making me slightly uncomfortable. Of course, Bridwell himself isn’t all that crazy about Mirage Rock, which he can admit now that he’s made a much better record. Things Are Great is a conscious return to the brawny, vision-quest-y rock of Band Of Horses’ mid-aughts era, when they first roared to indie fame on the strength of their 2006 debut, Everything All The Time. Their next album, 2007’s Cease To Begin, continued their winning streak, spawning a hit, the affecting ballad “No One’s Gonna Love You.” The band’s output gets spottier after that, an outcome that the candid and self-effacing Bridwell blames on his own lack of self-confidence. Too often, he says, he’s let other people goad him into artistic decisions he didn’t fully believe in. But that’s changed with this latest record.
8. Guerilla Toss, Famously Alive
I stumped for this band in my January 2022 column, but now that their new album is finally out I want to make sure you don’t miss it. An indie band with jam band tendencies — they let fans tape their shows — Guerilla Toss make some of the most purely fun and funky music you’ll hear from this corner of the music world. Now that live music has returned to a state of semi-normalcy, the time seems right for a band like this to get clubs jumping again.
9. Foo Fighters, “Somebody To Love” (Live In Chile, 3/18/22)
That Taylor Hawkins’ death at the age of 50 was so shocking speaks to how stable the Foo Fighters have seemed for decades as one of the last remaining stadium-rock bands. The tragedy that unfolded this month mirrors Hawkins’ overdose and subsequent coma back in 2001, but the drummer had seemingly come so far over such a long period of time that there was no reason to expect that such a thing could ever happen again. Now what’s left is a feeling of profound sadness — for Hawkins’ family, friends, and bandmates — and sense of waste. Here was a talented musician and effervescent personality who appeared to have at least a few more decades ahead of him as a jet-setting rock star. In his final performance, you see how comfortably he seemed to fit into this role. At a time when the term “rock star” has been devalued to the point of near-irrelevance, here was a guy who looked and acted like a genuine, old world, mf’ing rock star. But there’s always another life that exists beyond the stage and our own limited comprehension.
One of Foo Fighters’ final scheduled performances before Taylor Hawkins’ death was an appearance at Paraguay’s Asunciónico festival. The show would ultimately be canceled due to weather, but Hawkins still managed to make a young fan’s dream come true while in Paraguay.
As ET Canada notes, in the weeks leading up to the festival, 9-year-old drummer Emma Sofía started a social media campaign in an effort to perform with Foo Fighters at the event. While the show was ultimately canceled, Sofía had her parents’ full support, as they brought her to the hotel where the band was staying. There, she set up her drums outside and started playing on the street. A crowd gathered and eventually, Hawkins himself noticed, so he went outside and posed for a photo with Sofía.
Sofía shared the photo on social media, as well as a video recapping the experience, which includes footage of a smiling Hawkins approaching the scene to meet her. She wrote in a post (translated via Google), “It was two months of a lot of work, rehearsals, cover recordings and interviews to try to play with the @foofighters! We tried EVERY means but we couldn’t so after much frustration I took my drums to the hotel sidewalk and played until they heard me and @taylorhawkinsofficial came out. So I was able to conquer my dream. Words are not enough to thank all the people who accompanied me during this campaign and sent me the best energy from all over the world, you gave me the courage to do this!! THANK YOU! My daddy and my mommy told me that THIS IS HOW ROCK IS LIVED!”
A few days later, Hawkins died. After his passing, Sofía wrote on Instagram (translated via Google), “There are no words to describe what we feel. We are devastated to hear of the passing of Taylor Hawkins, our thoughts are with his loved ones and fans. We will remember him for his charisma and the beautiful gesture he had with Emma. Taylor gave us something to believe in. He was, is and always will be an inspiration. There goes our hero. RIP TAYLOR HAWKINS. Emma, dad and mom.”
Speaking of young, Foo Fighters-associated drummers, Nandi Bushell also shared a message about Hawkins after his passing, tweeting, “Our love, thoughts and support are with all who knew Taylor. Thank you for looking after me, thank you for being so kind and loving, thank you for being the most awesome drummer ever, thank you for bringing so much joy to the world, thank you for being you! With love, Nandi x.”
