aphex – bbc also reporting 10 drugs based on blood tests; opioid, marinara and anti-depressants.
Quite a cocktail.
I made the mistake of going on twitter yesterday and the anti vax mob were all over his death. According to them Taylor was an anti vaxxer, believed vaccines cause autism etc but he was forced by Grohl to take the vaccine if he wanted to remain in the band🙄
I wonder how this cocktail of medications will fit in with their conspiracy nonsense
opioid, marinara and anti-depressants.
I'd imagine marinara could be a bit thick in the bloodstream, especially if it has meatballs in it...
Sadly I imagine this may have been an accidental overdose, perhaps brought on by co-medications blocking the normal route of metabolism of opioids. That then gives a higher exposure for a given dose, and higher exposures suppress breathing and are fatal. This is the opioid epidemic seen in the US, where such medical actions are much more widely available than here. See Michael Jackson for previous.
I wasn’t surprised to see an opioid on the list.
On iplayer, if you go into the music category, there is an ace 1hr interview with Steve L from radio 6. They are in a studio in Maida Vale and its just great easy watching.
I hope someone enjoys it as much as me

Stop focussing on the manner of his death, and remember the manner of his living…

Just watched this on Youtube. The guy clearly loved his music and doing what he did in the Foos (and with Alanis). Pretty shocking to think he's now no longer with us. As many have already said his music touched, and meant a lot to, many many people out there. He's left quite a legacy but gone far too soon...
Ain't it the life, just sail on by.
RIP
I remember seeing them a month after they released their first album, at the 95 reading festival
They were very loud as I recall…
😁

That was great, thank you for sharing - d'you get the impression they filmed a ton more and could do a two hour version? Great stuff. 🙂
Its Monday lunchtime here and I'm still gutted about this. I can't help think that it's the end of the Foos - he was such an integral part of the band.
I've been lucky enough to see them five or six times now I think, but (obviously) kicking myself that I just missed them in Sydney last month. They just felt like they would be around forever.... pffffff.

"Accidental overdose"?
The risk everyone who uses drugs takes, especially non-prescribed ones, every time they use drugs...

You're assuming the drugs weren't prescribed.
I did say "especially".
Last live show in full, complete with Taylor's Queen cover. He looked in good form.
RIP man.
So what's your point? If you're prescribed drugs then no, that really NOT a risk you're taking if your doctor is in any way competent.

I think everyone understands the difference between an overdose where someone intended to die vs recklessness or indifference to life vs just wanting to get high and making a mistake somewhere. I don't know (or care) if any of those is morally superior, but the implication is that he wasn't suffering with depression or some other crisis which offers some comfort to some people, I think?
That said, it sounds like he called for help for chest pains a short (?) while before he died. So maybe he just had a common-or-garden heart attack. None of the reports mention cocaine (frequently implicated in heart attacks) but when in Rome...
Anyway, this is all just speculation. I just hope the Foo Fighters can find a way carry on.

You might think, but it's a lot more complicated than that, sadly. A call for chest pain, might be onset of an arrhythmia, QT prolongation, TdP. My guess would be unexpected drug interaction.
RIP.
This Rolling Stone interview is interesting: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/taylor-hawkins-interview-foo-fighters-dave-grohl-nirvana-drumming-1327228/
The guy always seemed like really happy dude but reading the interview and autopsy report it seems to me that there were some dark shadows in parts of his life.
This just popped up on my youtube feed
🙁
Seemingly, if only he'd only taken is bike on tour...
