How did Taylor Hawkins' death remain officially unexplained for four years?
This is exactly right.
When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed I will be his last target.
He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that.

Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I was just so wanting to be out of that phase, out of my skin, and I just really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now.

There are many insane stories about the Foo Fighters, and you've likely heard most of them. And that's because Dave Grohl himself is an incredible storyteller. But there are a few stories that the band doesn't want told. Chief among them, how their drummer, Taylor Hawkins, died. More specifically, the story behind the curious fact that it's been four years and we still don't have an official cause of death for one of the greatest drummers who ever lived.
Why not? I have some ideas. And none of them take away from the fact that Taylor Hawkins and the Foo Fighters made great music. Unlike that music I played for you at the top of the show. That wasn't great music. That was a not-so-preset loop from my Mellotron called Rami Has Two Trons MK1. I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to heat waves by glass animals. And why would I play you that specific slice of, I don't even know what to call that, cheese? Could I afford it? Because that was the number one song in America on March 25th, 2022. And that was the day that Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins died, creating one of the most unexplainable and recent mysteries in rock and roll. On this episode, the incredible story of Dave Grohl, Dave Grohl's incredible storytelling, great rock and roll, and the mystery behind the death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
I'm Jake Brennan, and this is Disgraceland.
Dave Grohl is commonly referred to as the nicest guy in rock and roll. It's a descriptor that Dave himself reportedly doesn't like. However, the Foo Fighters frontman and former drummer for Nirvana and DC hardcore band Scream has been on our radios and screens and in our record bins for the past three decades entertaining us in some capacity, either on stage in front of the microphone, behind the drums, on record, or answering some interviewer's questions with his four-on-the-floor charisma and his toothy smile and well-earned confidence. And, well, he sure seems like a nice guy. I've never met Dave Grohl, but I have a lot of friends who have, and every single one of them says the same thing. Yes, he really is that dude.
At the moment, that dude, Dave Grohl, is everywhere, it seems. He's all over our feeds, in short clips and in memes. The former from his Zane Lowe Apple Music conversation, the latter from his Guardian newspaper interview.
