Foo Fighters appear to be teasing their first new music since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins last year.
The band posted a short snippet of music on social media yesterday, in a video overlaid with the words “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” I’m thinking that’s the title of a new song soon to be released, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Hawkins died while on tour with the band in South America just over a year ago, aged 50. The band’s other members then returned to the stage with a variety of guests for two tribute shows in London and LA in September.
On New Year’s Eve, they posted an update announcing that they had decided to continue as a band.
“Without Taylor, we never would have become the band that we were”, they said. “And without Taylor we know that we’re going to be a different band going forward”.
“We also know that you, the fans, meant as much to Taylor as he meant to you”, they added. “And we know that when we see you again – and we will soon – he’ll be there in spirit with all of us every night”.
