RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith has shared a touching tribute video to late FOO FIGHTERS drummer Taylor Hawkins.

The video, which can be seen below via Variety, was put together by Daniel Catullo who directed the “Foo Fighters At The Acropolis” series on PBS which was hosted by Smith.  Set to the FOO FIGHTERS song “My Hero”, the video features footage of Smith and Hawkins throughout the years on the road and just messing around at home.

“Taylor’s my good buddy who I’ve known forever,” Smith says at the beginning of the video. The video also features Smith’s tribute to Hawkins during the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS’ Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony back on March 31. Chad says, “I have to give a shoutout to my brother Taylor Hawkins. I love you, Taylor,” Smith said in his speech. “He would laugh and make a smartass comment about this whole thing.”

Taylor Hawkins was found dead on March 25 at the Four Seasons Casa Medina hotel in Bogota, Colombia while FOO FIGHTERS were on tour. He was 50 years old.
