The world of music is still mourning the death of Taylor Hawkins even though he died months ago. However, the impact of his passing would continue, especially on his family members. More recently, his son, Shane Hawkins, made a big move for his late dad, and it's apparent where he got his music skills.
According to iHeart, the 16-year-old musician paid tribute to his father during a Fourth of July party in Laguna Beach.
Shane played drums with local band The Alive to do a cover of "My Hero" by Foo Fighters to honor the late legend.

Clips of his performance were shared on TikTok, and it made fans emotional as one video captioned the post, "not a dry eye in the crowd."
The young musician got his drumming skills from his dad, and he's been using his talent to amaze other people since he was a kid.
Being a charismatic drummer himself, Taylor is proud of his son and even brought him to his shows countless times to perform with him.
Their last bonding on stage was in Los Angeles, California, with NHC, a few months before the musician died.
The Alive is a teenage band composed of Shane's friends. Despite being known as a local group, they had significant gigs in the past, like opening for Chevy Metal and Foo Fighters at Lollapalooza Chile a few days before the legend's death.
Foo Fighters is set to have two concerts dedicated for Taylor this September 3 at Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom and September 27 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California.
Aside from the iconic band, there will also be performances from renowned musicians in the industry like Liam Gallagher, Geddy Lee, Roger Taylor, Stewart Copeland, Josh Homme, Pink, Chris Rock, Krist Novoselic, and many more.
Taylor Hawkins died in his hotel room in Bogota, Colombia, on March 25, hours before Foo Fighters was set to perform at a music festival.
Since then, the band has canceled all their future festival sets and tour dates.
As of this writing, an official cause of death has yet to be released to the public, but initial toxicology reports revealed he had over ten types of substances in his system like benzodiazepines, opioids, THC and many more.
Aside from Shane, Taylor also had two other kids named Annabelle and Everleigh.
