1,000 musicians pay tribute to Taylor Hawkins with rendition of 'My Hero'

As part of this month's Rockin' 1000 concert in Stade de France, a special tribute was paid to Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins – with 1,000 musicians performing a rendition of 'My Hero'.

Rockin' 1000 concerts have been held in stadiums around the world, bringing together 1,000 musicians playing simultaneously. They were first formed in 2015 – with a performance of Foo Fighters' 'Learn To Fly' in Cesena, Italy, which subsequently went viral.

Earlier this month, Rockin' 1000 – who described themselves as "the Biggest Rock Band on Earth" – opened the Eurovision 2022 with a special performance of 'Give Peace A Chance', recorded in Piazza San Carlo, Turin.

Following his death in March, aged 50, Taylor Hawkins has sparked tributes from every corner of the music world and beyond. Revisit some of those tributes here.
