Dave Grohl's 15-year-old daughter, Violet Grohl, took the stage in Las Vegas, Nevada, over the weekend, days after her father's band, Foo Fighters, canceled their Grammys performance following Taylor Hawkins' shocking death.

According to Page Six, the rock legend's successor proved she's following her father's footsteps in the music industry as she performed "Help Me" by Joni Mitchell at the MusiCares Person of the Year gala.

The event was a part of the Recording Academy's line of festivities before the highly-anticipated Grammys night.

On the red carpet, the singer was joined by her mom, Jordyn Blum, and her sister, Harper Grohl.

The family donned all-black outfits as Dave Grohl appeared to be absent from the event.

Foo Fighters Cancels Grammy Performance, Tour Amid Taylor Hawkins' Death

Violet's recent performance comes a few days after Foo Fighters announced that they have to put their world tour aside in the wake of Taylor Hawkins' death.

Surviving members of the band took to social media to confirm the devastating news to fans.

"It is with great sadness that Foo Fighters confirm the cancellation of all upcoming tour dates in light of the staggering loss of our brother Taylor Hawkins," they wrote.

The band apologized and told fans to take this time to grieve, heal, and "pull our loved ones close."

Aside from their world tour, NME reported that the group would not be a part of this year's Grammy awards despite being announced as part of the performance roster for the ceremony.

The awards show is currently happening at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

After Foo Fighters canceled their appearance, Lady Gaga, who's up for five awards, will reportedly perform.

Other performers of the evening include Olivia Rodrigo, BTS, Billie Eilish, and many more.

Taylor Hawkins Dead in Colombia

Hours before a scheduled performance in Colombia, Taylor Hawkins passed away after complaining he was experiencing chest pains in his hotel room where paramedics responded but were unsuccessful in resuscitating him.

The Attorney General's Office of Colombia announced that the drummer had multiple substances in his body like THC, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, opioids, and more.

At the time of this writing, his actual cause of death remains a mystery, but the National Institute of Legal Medicine is doing its best to determine it.
