50 is just too early for anyone to leave this earth. We go when the Good Lord calls us, though.

Hawkins was a very talented drummer. I pray for scomfort for his family, friends, and bandmates.

It's sad when someone dies.
Someone told me the news that some famous person died at aged 50, and it reminded me of all the people who died at that age, like Micheal Jackson, and (maybe Prince) and then I remembered a thing about some 'age' where famous stars had died, like Janis Joplin and James Dean maybe were the same age, very young that they all died at. Then 5 minutes later couldn't find out who this news story was about. ...
Then, internet search engine was no help, searched, famous male singer who died, and famous person who died today age 50, and neither one showed this result. But this message board came through, - in such an erie way, so - Frown-- and thumbs-sideways--.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Not only was he a very good drummer, dude could sing. I just read Dave Grohl’s book this week. They were best friends, he must be devastated.

I was actually just thinking about that. This is the 2nd successful band that Grohl was in that lost a member while at the peak of their musical prominance. He has to be crushed.

I have to wonder what the cause of death will wind up being.

I don't have a link. It was reported on the NBC Evening news that he had 10 substances including opioids in his system.

I am not sure what the other 9 might be.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

At that point, I'm not sure the other 9 matter.

Sad.

Great point. First Cobain, and now this. And his best friend, allegedly. I have no idea how Grohl felt about Cobain personally, but I have to think this brings back past memories/emotions as well.
