McCartney Times

The Foo Fighters‘ first of two all-day, all-star tributes to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins took place Saturday, September 3 at London’s Wembley Stadium. It was a joyous celebration of Taylor and rock n’ roll, with a cavalcade of big names joining the band for one-of-kind collaborations and performances, and more than a few surprises.

Those included: surprise guest Paul McCartney to perform The Beatles’ “Oh Darlin'” and a duet with The Pretenders‘ Chrissie Hynde, and then “Helter Skelter”; AC/DC‘s Brian Johnson with Lars Ulrich on drums to perform “Back in Black” (with The Darkness‘ Justin Hawkins) and “Let There Be Rock”; Rush‘s Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson to perform “2112,” “Working Man” and “YYZ”; Brian May and Roger Taylor for a Queen set with Roger’s son Rufus Taylor on drums and help from Justin Hawkins, and more; Wolfgang Van Halen with Grohl, Josh Freese and Justin Hawkins for Van Halen‘s “On Fire” and “Hot For Teacher”; and a reunion of Joe Walsh‘s The James Gang with Grohl on drums.
