Heart’s Nancy Wilson has released a new song, titled “Amigo Amiga,” in honor of late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. Proceeds from the track will go towards MusiCares. Wilson told Consequence the following:
“I heard myself in tears saying ‘too soon too soon’ which became a refrain in the song. I spent quite a few sleepless nights trying to express it all. He was a wonderful friend and we always had funny pet names for each other like ‘Amigo’ and ‘Amiga’ as well as ‘Luv’ and ‘Dahling’.”
She also added:
“It is such a painful loss — but it also feels like Taylor has galvanized and re-energized rock ‘n’ roll with so many of his musician friends and fans coming together. It’s a new renaissance Taylor and the FOO family have gifted us all.”
