16-year-old Oliver Shane Hawkins, son of the late Taylor Hawkins wowed a massive audience Saturday when he sat in with his dad’s band, Foo Fighters and a slew of other celebrities to honor his father. During the all-star tribute concert, the younger Hawkins looked like a pro playing drums on “My Hero.”
Another one of the night’s biggest moments came when Dave Grohl brought out Paul McCartney and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders to sing “Oh Darling.” McCartney said it was the first time he ever sang it as a duet. They also did “Helter Skelter.”
Foo Fighters served as the house band for much of the event, playing alongside such legendary guests as AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, Elton John, Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Stewart Copeland from The Police, and Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor. Liam Gallagher was also there to honor and celebrate the life of the late rock star drummer who died earlier this year.
