Foo Fighters have announced two tribute concerts dedicated to late drummer Taylor Hawkins. The rockers will perform at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 3rd and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on September 27th.

“As one of the most respected and beloved figures in modern music, Taylor’s monolithic talent and magnetic personality endeared him to millions of fans, peers, friends and fellow musical legends the world over,” Foo Fighters wrote in a statement posted to its website. “Millions mourned his untimely passing on March 25, with passionate and sincere tributes coming from fans as well as musicians Taylor idolized. The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts will unite several of those artists, the Hawkins family and of course his Foo Fighters brothers in celebration of Taylor’s memory and his legacy as a global rock icon—his bandmates and his inspirations playing the songs that he fell in love with, and the ones he brought to life.”
