We are so sorry for the loss of Taylor. And while you, his family and friends are hit the hardest, it has deeply hit us fans too.
For many of us you have been the soundtrack to our lives. Your songs supported us as we hit the hardest and life-changing moments of our lives. Then your songs cheered us on with bounding rhythms as we moved onto happier lifetime moments.
We’ve bought and listened to your CDs on repeat. We’ve attended concerts anxiously awaiting that rhythm that escalates into All My Life, or the slowly building glorious entrance of Everlong into fall out rock song. And if we’re lucky - maybe this show - it will be the return of For All the Cows.
You’ve been our muse at work inspiring our creativity. Our companion on long commutes, and our work safe haven, blocking out the chatter for deep focus.
You’ve kept us company in hospital stays, and had preschoolers bouncing to your rhythms for their "F" show and share days.
You've signed autographs, taken photos with us and always given us your best!
You are the fun loving approachable Rockstars that make us feel like we could totally hang out with you, even though we’re just a few of your millions of fans.
But this letter isn’t just to celebrate your place in our lives and commiserate in our joint grief over Taylor‘s passing. It’s a written hug telling you it’s OK. It’s OK to take whatever time you need before you tell us what’s next. it’s OK if you decide not to continue Foo without Taylor and it’s OK if you decide to start up again celebrating Taylor’s contributions in a new way. And if it seems like it will take forever to come to a decision about what to do, that’s OK too. We also know all of this is “easy for us to say,” and know our hearts have broken a bit too.
Dave, Pat, Nate, Chris, and Rami, take whatever time you need and do what is best for you and Taylor’s memory.
We love you and your music and will always have that.
Love and condolences from a family of Foo Fighters fans!
