Welcome to Consequence’s live blog of Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins tribute concert. Refresh this page for the latest updates.
3:25 p.m. – We’re approaching hour four of the concert, and there’s no signs of the music slowing down.
3:05 p.m. – Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush — one of Taylor Hawkins’ all-time favorite bands — play “2112” and “Working Man” with Dave Grohl on drums. Lee and Lifeson then close their appearance by dedicating a performance of “YYZ” to both Hawkins and their own late drummer, Neil Peart. (Hawkins once joined RUSH on stage to perform “YYZ” during a concert in 2008.)
2:50 p.m. – The stars continue to turn out in honor of Taylor Hawkins. The Police’s Stewart Copeland joins Foo Fighters to play “Next to You.” Supergrass’ Gaz Combs then joins in on the fun to sing lead on “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.”
2:40 p.m. – AC/DC’s Brian Johnson and Metallica’s Lars Ulrich join forces with Dave Grohl and the rest of Foo Fighters to perform AC/DC’s “Back in Black” and “Let There Be Rock.”
