A 9-year-old Foo Fighters fan got to meet — and play for — Taylor Hawkins, just three days before he died
Emma Sofia was the fortunate fan who bought an opportunity to satisfy Hawkins simply three days earlier than he died.
The competition was canceled as a result of extreme climate — however that did not cease Emma from making an attempt to get the Foo Fighters consideration.
A good friend informed the household the place the band was staying, so that they packed up Emma’s drum package and headed to the lodge, Peralta mentioned. After they arrived, followers have been already lined up exterior in hopes of getting a glimpse of the band.
Emma arrange her package and performed for about half-hour, her father mentioned, performing songs by the Foo Fighters and Nirvana as the group cheered her on.
Followers carried her out of the group and over the barrier to satisfy Hawkins and snap a photograph collectively.
Emma was in shock and speechless, her father mentioned. “She mentioned that day was about to be the worst day of her life and all of the sudden became one of the best day of her life.” Peralta added.
On Friday night time, when information broke of Hawkins dying, Emma was acting at an area restaurant.
Her dad and mom informed her the next day that he had died and, like many different followers, she was very upset.
