On the eve of the second Taylor Hawkins tribute live performance in Los Angeles, Heart co-founder Nancy Wilson has shared a tune concerning the late Foo Fighters drummer, “Amigo Amiga,” which she started writing the day of his March 25 passing.
At the request of the Foo Fighters, Wilson will carry out the monitor tomorrow (Sept. 27) on the live performance.
“The night we heard about losing Taylor I started writing the song,” Wilson mentioned of the brand new tune in an announcement. “I heard myself in tears saying ‘too soon too soon’ which grew to become a chorus in the tune. I spent fairly just a few sleepless nights attempting to specific all of it. He was an exquisite buddy and we at all times had humorous pet names for one another like Amigo and Amiga in addition to Luv and Dahling. I sang on his nice solo album Get the Money at his house studio and later he returned the favor and performed drums on my solo album.
She continues, “it is such a painful loss — but it also feels like Taylor has galvanized and re-energized rock and roll with so many of his musician friends and fans coming together — it’s a new renaissance Taylor and the Foo family have gifted us all.” All proceeds from the discharge of the monitor will profit the Recording Academy’s MusiCares.
Wilson’s first solo album, You and Me, was launched final yr. One of its tracks, “Party at the Angel Ballroom” options Hawkins and Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan.
