Over the weekend, the music world has been rocked by the passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
As reported by BBC News, Hawkins passed away at the age of 50 in a Bogota hotel, as the band was preparing to play at the Estereo Picnic festival on Friday (March 25) in Bogota amid their South American tour.
Local officials have revealed that an ambulance was dispatched to the hotel after a man reported having chest pains, with the city's health department later revealing that Hawkins did not respond to resuscitation attempts and was declared dead at the scene.
Some fans have since laid flowers outside of the hotel.
Now, videos have surfaced online showing the moment fans at the Estereo Picnic festival were informed of Hawkins passing, as they gathered to watch the band perform.
Footage shows that the crowd was told of the drummer's death via a written statement on the large stage monitors - with the crowd initially falling silent. Candles were also lit and placed on the stage.
Another video then shows people in the crowd cheering and applauding as a sign of respect, as the band's track 'My Hero' is played over the speakers. "Taylor Hawkins Por Siempre" (Taylor Hawkins Forever) can be seen on the big screen.
Meanwhile, the band informed the rest of their fans of Hawkins' tragic death via their social media channels, writing in a statement: "The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins.
"His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. Our hearts go out to his wife, children, and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time."
Additionally, the band has canceled their remaining performance dates in South America.
BBC News has reported that although the Colombian attorney general's office is still investigating Hawkins' death, a toxicology report has revealed 10 substances in the drummer's body at the time of his passing, including anti-depressants.
At this time, however, the cause of Hawkins' death remains unknown.
Hawkins joined the Foo Fighters back in 1997, and helped write some of the band's most beloved hits, such as 'All My Life' and 'The Pretender'.
Our thoughts continue to go out to Hawkins' family, friends, and fans at this time.
