I gotta say I can't recall one person ever saying anything negative about Hawkins, and he's been famous for over 20 years. I always viewed him as Dave's counterpart in The Foo Fighters. They were the two biggest personalities in the band. R.I.P 🙏
The statement I can't recall one person saying one negative thing about Tayler says it all...he was an amazing musician as well as a spectacular humble human being
I was lucky enough to meet Taylor a few times years ago, and Machine Gun Kelly described him perfectly. Hawkins greeted even the fans with the utmost respect, asked them questions about who they were and where they were from, and made them feel like the absolute center of attention. He didn't take his place for granted in the world... and the way Taylor made others feel will be a huge part of his legacy. I'm going to miss him a lot, as will plenty of others out there.
Aside from his music, which I love. This is partly why I love him as a person and am a huge fan..he is a great person..generous in spirit and heart ( aside from cool, funny....plus) He's a great! engaging storytelller too
It's impressive how close every musicians are and the outpour of respect there is for Hawkins, from Elton John, to MGK, Miley Cyrus... He clearly touched many people throughout his life
I got to meet Taylor for a brief moment in 2010. He had one of his sons on his shoulders n I told him how much I loved FF ... his smile enlightened those few seconds n I knew that was gonna stick w me forever. RIP🥺
That is very kind and heartfelt of MGK to share that story, specifically directed to TH’s children. This is a tragedy for the rest of the world, but for Alison and especially their children… that’s the real tragedy: children losing a parent far too young. To say “may God bless them” feels very pithy, but I hope someone or something looks out for them both.
I can't stop crying. I just keep thinking about his wife & kids & their unimaginable pain. Of course Dave & the band are crushed, & all of us fans, but our pain cannot possibly compare to theirs. May they find comfort in the memories of the love they shared with Taylor. I hope those memories can bring peace to their broken hearts. This hits hard 💔
Wow that was such a kind and thoughtful way MGK memorialized Taylor, a very kind and thoughtful human. I really felt MGKs story painted a perfect picture of Taylor's spirit and character. Really touched me MGK spoke to Taylor's kids
I see a lot of hate for MGK for some reason but you know what, he`s human like the rest of us. People need to stop being so mean to one another and start being a lot nicer. Rest in beats Taylor.
@@DanielFlailed he was connected to Chester, Mac, and Taylor? I thought he just said that was the first time he really talked to him other than in passing. I didn't know he worked with Mac and Linkin Park tho. I was surprised to hear Chester and Chris Cornell had such a strong friendship. All so tragic regardless.
@@bluecollar825 mgk had been performing with linkin park for quite a few shows. he was supposed to start touring with them before chester passed away, and the remaining members had mgk perform at a tribute concert for chester. he was close to mac as well, they'd been in the studio a few times together.
I can’t stop crying. Hearing of Taylor Hawkin’s kindness and humanity from people that knew him makes his passing so much more overwhelming for at least this fan. Comforting, but so sad his light is gone. I had hoped to hear him sing in May. I saw Queen in the early 80s. And I couldn’t believe Taylor Hawkins’ cover of Somebody To Love. Taylor was the only living singer that did that song justice.
What a great memory to honor Taylor, sorry MGK that you won't get to make new ones with the legend that is Taylor Hawkins, thanks for sharing and to Howard for letting him tell it. RIP TH
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. By all accounts, Taylor was a special person. He was an integral part of a special band. One of the Gods of Rock.
Great story about wat everyone knew about Taylor. You have social media messages from Mic Jagger & Paul McCartney expressing their condolences. He was liked by rock royalty & rock fans e erywhere.

Not a fan of MGK, but that was classy and very decent of him.....
I agree.

Rob, not sure why you think people care about your opinion
Dear lord this choked me up……sooooo beautifully said MGK, thank you for letting the kids know this memory of their dad
Me too 😢💔🥁
Not a MGK fan ...but that was super sincere ! Much respect
Same
Me, too!
Yup
Took words out of my mouth
You should be

that story was so vivid now i’m sad that the rest of the world can’t have those kinds of moments with him
RIP Taylor, what a great story about the kind of dude he was 🤍
He had such a great smile too

02:35 "He was so bright" . A fitting description of Taylor Hawkins. Such a beautiful soul.
So down to earth and humble. ALL entertainers should take notice of how he treated people. So sad.
So thoughtful and beautiful of Machine Gun Kelly to think of Taylor's kids and wanting to leave them with this story.
May you be at peace Taylor.
Respect to MGK that was truely heartfelt and you could see his sadness...a great loss to the rock world.
That's a really nice tribute from MGK and it is very nice that he addressed Taylor's kids.
Beautiful story, and his kind heart comes through telling it
Such a kind heart…, lol when it’s helps his career sure
Say what you want about MGK, but he made about that entire story about Taylor and not himself. Well done.
its been verified.
It's a personal anecdote. If he hadn't mentioned himself it would have lacked emotion. I thought it was exceptionally well done.
Are you kidding me? Lol bravo bravo 👏

Crazy how Kells was hanging with and planning on touring with Chester just before he passed and now this story, damn I'm speechless
Ah shit fr?
@@franshescacurotto1903 yup I had tickets to them in Cincinnati with MGK opening for Linkin Park, passed away a few weeks before
This brought tears running down my face. It was heartfelt and just beautiful
that is so beautiful of you to share MGK, he truly was a bright and warm soul.
R.i.p Taylor 💔
RIP Taylor. You are missed..
Good to see MGK holding on to his team. He has same musicians for many many years.
Since Cleveland
Taylor is dead, he will not see your message just FYI 🤡

That was so lovely 🥺
MGK is a good kid if everyone would just give him a chance. RIP Taylor…we love you and miss you already. I hope Dave is okay.
I see a lot of hate for MGK for some reason but you know what, he`s human like the rest of us. People need to stop being so mean to one another and start being a lot nicer. Rest in beats Taylor.
The dynamic of the drummers of each other’s band singing and crushing it is amazing
There are no words right now. MGK, I'm so glad they got to have that experience with Taylor and the Foo's.
Such a classy response, and captured how we all feel about Taylor and the Foo Fighters.
Thanks for sharing this MGK, love behind the scenes stories. Rest well to your own own beat Ty.
Is it me or is MGK more real now than every other famous person 😂 that was beautiful and it was real what he said
Props to MGK for telling this story, and addressing his kids, well done.
Absolutely.
such a loss, he was an amazing person😔❤️

No... Rock in peace. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you for Inviting MGKto speak about Taylor
Always liked MGK. This reminds me of what Dave and Taylor always said....when heroes meet their heroes. Then, the heroes become friends.
MGK thanks for the story, RIP Taylor
Have had a lot of negative things to say about Colson and his music recently. But this was great, class act.
Oh Taylor, you touched so many peoples lives RIP x
