Taylor Hawkins was pictured in what is believed to be for the final time on social media on Wednesday. He is seen on a plane with band member Pat Smear (left) and Samantha Sidley (right) who was working for the band on Wednesday March 23, 2022

Samantha Sidley, a background singer with the Foo Fighters, posted a photo two days ago of herself and fellow touring band member Pat Smear posing for a shot on what seems to be a private jet.

Hawkins stands behind them, his face lit up with a broad grin.

“Bogota,” Sidley captioned the shot, referring to the Colombian capital, where the band was supposed to perform but Hawkins died of a hotel room medical emergency at the age of 50.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin wiped away tears as he spoke about Hawkins during a concert in Mexico just hours after word of his friend’s death surfaced.
