Since The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts were announced, fans of the late drummer have been curious about who would be performing in the much-awaited benefit concert.
Although the concerts were not a call for a celebration, the intentions of the Foo Fighters and Hawkins' family were pure - as the proceeds for the concert will go directly to respective charities and foundations.
The lineup for the two concerts is packed with star-studded musicians and singers that have once worked with or who were good friends of Taylor Hawkins.
