You can now watch video of 16-year-old Shane Hawkins, son of late FOO FIGHTERS drummer Taylor Hawkins, paying tribute to his late father by playing a cover of the FOO FIGHTERS song “My Hero” below.
The performance took place over the Fourth Of July weekend at a block party in Laguna Beach, California when Shane joined local band THE ALIVE on Monday on top of a neighborhood roof to play the song.
A TikTok video of the performance was uploaded on July 7 to the Lagtownsfinest account, which said in a caption: “When Taylor Hawkins’ son gets on the drums and dedicates the song ‘My Hero’ to his dad. The hawk would’ve been proud.”
THE ALIVE have previously opened for Taylor Hawkins‘ cover band CHEVY METAL and for FOO FIGHTERS at Lollapalooza Chile. They as well posted about the performance on Instagram, writing: “Thanks to the Laguna Beach community, police (for not shutting us down) , @spliffriff_ and the @marcusskenderian family. Special thanks to @shane_hawkins_22 for sitting in.”
