Taylor Hawkins, the late Foo Fighters drummer, could win 3 posthumous Grammys as his band is nominated for the awards.

Hawkins died on March 25 in Bogotá, Colombia, while on tour with the Foo Fighters. The day after his death, a toxicology report revealed signs of ten narcotics in his bloodstream, including opiates, marijuana, and antidepressants.

The Foo Fighters had to cancel the rest of their tour. The band was also scheduled to perform at the Grammys on April 3.

Hawkins will be honored during the 2022 Grammy Awards broadcast.

“We will honor his memory in some way,” Jack Sussman, CBS’ executive vice president of specials, music, and live events, confirmed in a statement to Variety. “We want to figure out what is the right thing to do that is respectful to everyone involved. We’re patient. We’ll be planning right up until the very end.”

It was unclear whether Hawkins’ bandmates themselves would take part in the weekend tribute.

“We’re sorry for and share in the disappointment that we won’t be seeing one another as planned,” the band said in a statement. “Instead, let’s take this time to grieve, to heal, to pull our loved ones close, and to appreciate all the music and memories we’ve made together.”

The Foo Fighters have won 12 Grammy awards, and they have received 31 nominations, including three this year for “Best Rock Album,” “Best Rock Song” and “Best Rock Performance.” 

Hawkins was part of the band’s performance at the Lollapalooza Festival in Argentina, on March 20, just six days before he died at the age of 50. 

His death was announced on the band’s official page, along with a note saying, “The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins. His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever… Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time.”
