Ieri sera, allo stadio Wembley di Londra, si è tenuto il primo show (il secondo sarà a Los Angeles il 27 settembre) in onore di Taylor Hawkins, batterista dei Foo Fighters, recenetemente venuto a mancare. Oltre alla ban di Dave Grohl erano presenti numerosi ospiti, tra cui Travis Barker, Nandi Bushell, Martin Chambers, Chris Chaney, Chevy Metal, Stewart Copeland, Josh Freese, Liam Gallagher, Violet Grohl, Omar Hakim, Justin Hawkins, Shane Hawkins, Joshua Homme, Chrissie Hynde, James Gang, Alain Johannes, Brian Johnson, John Paul Jones, Kesha, Greg Kurstin, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Brian May, Krist Novoselic, Nile Rodgers, Mark Ronson, Luke Spiller, Supergrass, Roger Taylor, Rufus Taylor, Lars Ulrich, Nate Wood, Wolfgang Van Halen e Dave Chappelle. Un cast ricchissimo per un ragazzo così amato da tutti, la cui perdita ha lasciato davvero un grande vuoto.
