"A true music legend and drumming hero," posted popular UK venue host Gigs and Tours on X (formerly Twitter). Leading music publication Revolver similarly posted, "2 years gone. Never forgotten. #TaylorHawkins #RIP" with a photo of Hawkins.

Another X user echoed these sentiments, writing "March 25, 2024.

Two years without taylor hawkins [sic.]" and attaching a video edit of the deceased rockstar set to a heartfelt song, "Rescue" by Lauren Daigle. The post includes edited clips of Hawkins alongside friends, including a touching moment of Foos frontman Dave Grohl declaring, "No, like, I really love you," before Hawkins cuts in saying, "Me!" The duo go back and forth, playfully fighting over who has more affection for the other.
