Shane Hawkins Reveals Late Father Taylor Hawkins' Favorite Foo Fighters Song

Shane Hawkins, son of the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, has dispelled the myth that his father's favorite song to perform live was "Aurora," revealing instead that it was "Low" from the 2002 album One by One. Shane shared this insight during a drum clinic in Newquay, England, where he also performed a precise rendition of "Low" in tribute to his father. While "Aurora" was often dedicated to Taylor by Dave Grohl after his passing and has been performed more frequently live, Shane emphasized that "Low" was Taylor's true favorite despite being a challenging song to play. After Taylor's death in 2022, veteran drummer Josh Freese temporarily replaced him but was unexpectedly let go last month, leaving Foo Fighters without an official drummer for their upcoming October shows in Asia. Speculation continues about Shane potentially joining Foo Fighters as their new drummer, though no official announcement has been made. Meanwhile, Shane will tour this summer with Taylor's old covers band, Chevy Metal.
