During a night filled with all-star artists paying respect to the late Taylor, a young percussion prodigy of 16 years old took over the drums and played with gusto alongside Dave Grohl. Taylor passed away abruptly and unexpectedly in March at the age of 50.
In front of the audience, the leader of the band made the following announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have one more drummer that is going to come up and play with us, and let me tell you, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone hit the drums as hard as this person, but beyond that, he’s a member of our family,” the leader of the band said. The conductor went on to say, “Let me tell you, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone hit the drums as hard as this person.” Dave made the statement as he took Shane up on stage and introduced him to the audience. “And he needs to be here with all of us tonight, and I believe it makes sense that he’s going to come up and play with us tonight.” “And he needs to be here with all of us tonight.” “And he absolutely needs to be here with all of us tonight.” Help me give a hearty welcome to Mr. Shane Hawkins, who will be performing on the drums later on. Please join me in doing so.
Before Shane performed his heart out with his obviously inherited musical talents, the tribute event saw a cavalcade of musical icons traverse the stage to memorialize Taylor. Shane then played his heart out with his obviously inherited musical talents. The performance that Shane gave was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. According to Rolling Stone, Paul McCartney performed “Oh! Darling” by the Beatles for the very first time ever in a live setting. Kesha took over the mic at one point, while Liam Gallagher contributed his talents to two songs by Oasis. Guest musicians Brian Johnson and Lars Ulrich of AC/DC and Metallica rocked out with the Foo Fighters.
And Shane wasn’t the only family member in their teens who came to pay their respects and celebrate the life of their departed loved one.

Violet, Dave’s daughter, gave incredibly moving renditions of two Jeff Buckley songs, and she ended up taking the spotlight. Her interpretations of the songs were quite touching to listen to. Dave requested Violet to take the microphone and introduced her by remarking that she was “the only person I know who can honestly sing a Jeff Buckley song.” Violet accepted Dave’s invitation to take the microphone. Following that, Violet wowed the crowd with her renditions of “Last Goodbye” and “Grace,” both of which were written by Jeff.
The band Foo Fighters, together with an extra lineup of A-list talent, will perform live again during the second tribute concert, which is scheduled to take place in September at the Forum in Los Angeles. The funds raised at these two events will be donated to Music Support as well as MusiCares respectively.
