Stevie Nicks mourned the shocking loss of his friend and fellow musician Taylor Hawkins and shared an emotional note on social media following his death this weekend.
The death of the Foo Fighters drummer was announced via a social media statement from the band’s accounts on Friday night (March 25). Hawkins was 50.
“All I have to say,” Nicks wrote on her own social media accounts on Saturday, “thank goodness for the photo booth at the Foo Fighters studio. Because of these images, my friendship with Taylor will always be close to my heart.”
The Fleetwood Mac member and solo singer-songwriter has uploaded two personal black and white snaps of a grinning Hawkins and himself.
“He always came to my shows,” she noted. “He and his best friend Dave even let me be a foo fighter for a while. We recorded an awesome version of Gold Dust Woman (live) and by the end of the song I was screaming, ‘Best Gold Dust Woman ever~’.”
“And I meant it,” said Nicks, who continued to speak affectionately of her friend.
“Taylor was very handsome and he was very sweet. Sometimes this combination is much better than “beautiful”. I think it’s everything. He had a huge heart and a gorgeous smile. When he entered the room, everyone looked up. When he left the room everyone was sad,” she wrote, before sharing how she feels now after his death.

“Now I’m sad
I’m really sad
It’s like rolling thunder
Yes, I said that
It’s like a bad dream~
Comes like a wave~
give you a moment
And then pulls you away.
our hearts are broken
We’ll never be the same again.
As I write these words~
i feel the pain
But I will always remember~
That laughter and glory
brought us together
To play the game
And we played it over and over again
And it was extraordinary~
Don’t forget us ‘T.’
We’re right here
Loving You,
Stevie”
