Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins vowed to take care of himself in a chilling message the night before he was found dead at a hotel in Colombia, according to a report.
“Take care of each other. And I’ll take care of myself. And I’ll see you in São Paulo. I love, love, love you. Sleep well,” Hawkins said, according to the US Sun.
Lollapalooza creator Perry Farrell and his wife, Etsy, shared the voice message they received late Thursday from the late Foo Fighters star, the Sun reported, citing Brazilian news outlet Globo 1.
There has been no official cause released of the 50-year-old musician’s death on Friday, though local prosecutors said Saturday that toxicological tests preliminarily found 10 psychoactive substances and medicines in Hawkins’ urine — including marijuana, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines.
