Taylor Hawkins' last recorded interview before his untimely death will be featured in the upcoming documentary "Let There Be Drums!" The late Foo Fighters drummer joins an impressive lineup of legendary musicians, including Ringo Starr, Stewart Copeland, Jason Bonham, and Chad Smith.
The documentary, directed by Justin Kreutzmann, son of Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann, explores the profound impact of drumming on great bands and its generational influence. Greenwich Entertainment will distribute the film, which delves into the stories of some of music's most influential drummers.
In a poignant moment from the documentary's trailer, Hawkins reminisces about his first experience behind a drum kit: "The second I sat on those drums, it was like a bolt of lightning went through my body, and I'll never forget that day."
Hawkins tragically passed away in his hotel room in Bogota, Colombia, while on tour with the Foo Fighters. His memory was honored through tribute concerts held in two cities, organized by his family and former bandmates.
The documentary will be available in select theaters and simultaneously released on streaming platforms Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to witness Hawkins' final interview and celebrate his lasting legacy in music.
