Foo Fighters was founded 27 years ago to represent the power of music and life. And for 27 years, our fans built a community, a support system that helped us through the dark times together. A place to share happiness and sadness, hope and fear, to follow life through music," Foo Fighters wrote.

"Without Taylor, we would never be a band like now and without Taylor, we knew we would be a different band," he continued.

We also know you, fans, mean a lot to Taylor as he also means to you. And we know when we see you again - he's there with the power with us every night," he said.
