When Miley Cyrus takes the stage on Saturday night, she'll honor the late Taylor Hawkins.
"This is how I'll always remember you..." Cyrus said on her Instagram story Friday night with a photo of the Foo Fighters drummer smiling during a performance. "My show tomorrow is dedicated to Taylor Hawkins π€"
Cyrus is set to headline Lollapalooza Brazil on Saturday (March 26) night.
The "Plastic Hearts" singer added another slide to her Instagram story β she shared the song "Brass in Pocket" by the Pretenders. "My favorite memory with Taylor is dancing around his drum kit while he played along to this song .... Playing it on repeat imagining us laughing.... Love forever," she said.
Hawkins and Cyrus previously worked together in 2021 when he laid down the drums on Cyrus' song with Billy Idol, "Night Crawling," according to Billboard.
"Tonights show is in honor of my friend Taylor Hawkins. The most bad ass dude I know who would want me to shine and sing LOUD for the love of rock n roll! Iβve got this with a little help from my friend TH above & all of you. Letβs do it . π¦ π€π€π»," Cyrus tweeted Saturday.

Hawkins died Friday, the band announced on social media. He was 50. The Foo Fighters, who are currently on tour in South America, said they are "devastated" by the news:
"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins. His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time."
