Fans who follow Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian are already accustomed to the awesome covers he and his 10-year-old drummer son, Revel Young, have been posting on Instagram. In the wake of the tragic passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins, the pair chose to share a fistful of their Foo Fighters covers, along with a message of healing.

Scott posted short clips of his and Revel's at-home takes on the Foo Fighters tracks "Low," "Stacked Actors," and "Run," saying the duo had been "jamming our favorite Foo’s all week," in the caption. "Healing our hearts with the power of rock. We love you Taylor and Dave and Pat and Chris and Nate and Rami."
Following the devastating loss of Hawkins on March 25, the Anthrax guitarist also shared a snap he had taken with Taylor and fellow Foo Pat Smear, after spending hours chatting together on a flight. Ian said in the caption that he sent the photo to his son that day because, "these guys are some of his heroes, mine as well." Take a look at even more memorable tributes to Hawkins right HERE.
Hawkins' death on March 25 came just before the Foo Fighters were scheduled to perform at a festival in Colombia while on the road in South America -- and the band has since canceled all remaining tour dates. Days after his passing, the 2022 GRAMMYs paid their respects to the beloved drummer in a number of ways, while the Foo Fighters also swept in all three Rock categories, taking home the trophies for Best Rock Performance (“Making A Fire”), Best Rock Song ("Waiting On A War"), and Best Rock Album (Medicine At Midnight).
