AceShowbiz - Travis Barker is honoring Taylor Hawkins in a beautiful way. A few weeks after the death of the Foo Fighters drummer, the 46-year-old took to social media to give fans a look at a hawk tattoo dedicated to the late star.
The Blink-182 drummer showed off his new ink through some Instagram photos he shared on Wednesday, April 13. In one of the snaps, he could be seen sharing a kiss with his fiancee Kourtney Kardashian during the tattooing process at the Mark Mahoney at Shamrock Social Club.
In the last image, Travis included a throwback photo of him and Taylor when they were much younger. He simply captioned the post by writing, "HAWK forever."
This was not the first time for Travis to pay tribute to Taylor. Upon learning of the latter's passing, the ex-husband of Shanna Moakler posted a black-and-white photo of his late pal on his Instagram page. "I don't have the words. Sad to write this or to never see you again," he first penned in the accompanying message.
"I'll never forget Laguna Beach days when I was a trash man playing in a punk rock band and you were playing with Alanis," the father of two added. "You'd come watch me play in dive bars and be like, 'kid you're a star'. And I thought you were crazy but you gave me so much hope and determination."
"Years later we toured together with Blink and Foo's in Australia and I have the best memories of smoking cigarettes in the restroom of flights we were on together and watching your set every night," Travis went on recalling. "To say I'll miss you my friend isn't enough. Till the next time we talk drums and smoke in the boys room … Rest In Peace."
Taylor, who joined Foo Fighters in 1997, suddenly passed away at the age of 50 while the band was touring in South America. A representative for the band told Rolling Stone that he died when the group was preparing to perform in Bogota, Colombia. He was found dead in his hotel room.
According to Taylor's preliminary toxicology results, he had tricyclic antidepressants and other substances in his system when he died. "Preliminary results of the urine toxicology test indicate the presence of 10 different substances: THX (Marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and opioids, among others," the Attorney General's Office of Colombia said in a press release shared on Twitter.
