Yesterday (March 25), the Foo Fighters released a statement that their drummer, Taylor Hawkins, had passed away at the age of 50.

The Texas born musician toured with Alanis Morissette before joining the Foo Fighters in 1997. He remained a member of the band for over 20 years, drumming up some side projects along the way -- Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, Chevy Metal, and NHC with Dave Navarro and Chris Chaney to name a few. Scroll on for photos throughout his incredible career.
