Drummer Chad Smith then made an impassioned speech and asked fans to 'celebrate' Taylor.

"We just found out about this two weeks ago, because Foo Fighters were supposed to play here tonight," he said.

"We love Foo Fighters, and we love our brother Taylor Hawkins. This means a lot to us to be able to play for them."

"The guys in the band are here, they’re supporting. Taylor’s wife Alison and his whole family are here."
