The Foo Fighters released their first official statement on social media following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins , which occurred last Friday, the 25th.
In it, the band announces the cancellation of all upcoming shows and apologizes for the "disappointment of not being able to perform with the fans as planned."
The band concludes by saying that they will take this time to "mourn, heal, be close to our loved ones, and appreciate all the music and memories we created together."

The investigation remains active. The Foo Fighters died at age 50 in a hotel room in Bogotá, Colombia, where he was scheduled to perform with the band that night.
