After celebrating Hawkinsâ memory and music with a special six-hour gig in London earlier this month (September 3), âThe Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concertâ took over LAâs Kia Forum on Tuesday evening, with a bounty of special guests.
During the show, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear formed a new band with Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron for two songs, all fronted by The Pretty Reckless‘ Taylor Momsen.
Watch the supergroup play ‘Black Hole’ and ‘The Day I Tried To Live’ below.
Last nightâs tribute gig started with an acoustic performance of âHallelujahâ by Grohlâs daughter, Violet, featuring Alain Johannes. That was followed by a short set from the surviving Foos, Blink-182âs Travis Barker and Joan Jett, who performed two of the latterâs biggest hits from the â80s.
Later in the show, Miley Cyrus teamed up with Foo Fighters and Def Leppard for an expansive version of Def Leppardâs 1983 hit âPhotographâ while Justin Hawkins took to the stage with late Foo Fighters drummerâs side project, The Coattail Riders, to perform a four-song set.
Elsewhere, Pink joined forces with Foo Fighters and Queen to perform a rousing cover of âSomebody To Loveâ â the song that Hawkins covered himself over the years. Elsewhere, she sang with Heartâs Nancy Wilson for their track âBarracudaâ before joining Foo Fighters to sing âThe Pretenderâ during their main set at the showâs finale.
During that closing set, Foo Fighters also welcomed Dave Chapelle to the stage to cover Radioheadâs âCreepâ, which they had previously covered with Hawkins at their huge gig at Madison Square Garden in New York City last summer.
