Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has died aged 50, the band has announced.

The US group - one of the most successful rock bands of the last three decades - said they were "devastated".

"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins," the band tweeted.

"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."

The drummer's final performance was at the Lollapalooza festival in Argentina on 20 March, according to Rolling Stone, where he sang the lead on a cover of Queen's Somebody to Love.

His last song was an encore of Everlong.
