Hawkins died on March 25, age 50. The drummer was on tour with Foo Fighters at the time, with the band subsequently pulling all live dates in response to the loss. A toxicology report found opioids and anti-depressants in his system at the time of his death, though an official cause of death is still to be confirmed.
