"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," the band said in a statement.

 "Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginable difficult time."

On Friday, the band was scheduled to perform in Bogotá, Colombia, for the Festival Estereo Picnic followed by Lollapalooza Brasil on Sunday, according to its website.

The performance was canceled just as fans were gathering at 11 p.m., according to Romeo Reyes who told CNN he traveled from El Salvador to Bogotá to attend the festival.

"We were getting into position when they announced that the Foo Fighters would not be performing, but they didn't say why.

About 10 minutes later, the news broke that Taylor had died," Reyes said. "No one knew the reason for the cancellation.

 We were all sad. But like I said, nobody knew that Taylor had died. We found out about 10-15 minutes later," he said.
