Rock band Foo Fighters received three awards at 2022 Grammys, a week after the sudden death of their drummer Taylor Hawkins in Bogota, Columbia.

Foo Fighters is an American rock band from Seattle, Washington, and they have now won 13 Grammy Awards in their career spanning 28 years. Band members were not present at the event.

They won Best Rock Album for Medicine At Midnight, Best Rock Song for Waiting On A War, and Best Rock Performance for Making A Fire.

It’s sad that Taylor Hawkins is no more to receive these awards, having played a big role in these wins. He was found dead in a hotel room in Bogota, Colombia where foo Fighters were supposed to play at a festival on Friday, March 25. Police cited his death drug related case.

The band were also originally scheduled to perform at the event but Taylor’s bandmates – Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, Rami Jaffee and Chris Schiflett –  opted to skip the performance.
