It is with great sadness that Foo Fighters confirm the cancellation of all upcoming tour dates in light of the staggering loss of our brother Taylor Hawkins. We’re sorry for and share in the disappointment that we won’t be seeing one another as planned. Instead, let’s take this time to grieve, to heal, to pull our loved ones close, and to appreciate all the music and memories we’ve made together.
With Love,
Foo Fighters
The tour, which was in support of the band’s 10th studio album Medicine at Midnight, was set to take the band to stadiums, amphitheaters, and festivals throughout the country from May through August of 2022.
