This one was a real shocker. Only 50 yrs old. Big part of
the Foo Fighters, especially the live shows. The band was on tour in South America. Can't say enough what Taylor brought to the table. Truly will be missed.

Terrible. RIP.

Sounds like he went out doing what he loved. Getting high on tour.

Just heartbreaking. Sick of losing our music legends. Cornell, Weiland, Lanegan, Hawkins...

The old line, “hope I die before I get old”. The drug lifestyle has its trade offs, one of which is you risk earlier death.

The actual quote was:

Results from a urine toxicology test indicated the presence of “[marijuana], tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids, among others,” a statement from the AG’s office said.

none of those by themselves indicate he died of drug use. All of those could very easily be prescribed meds he was on. The dude lived a HARD life early on in his career that likely caused lasting damage to his body, resulting in a heart attack or something similar.

Keith Richards is almost 80. He's adopted a healthy lifestyle. Jim Fixx died of a heart attack at 52. Genetics play a big part in health. Abuse of the body is not good in the long run.
