Billie Eilish Honors Late Foo Fighters Drummer Taylor Hawkins for Her Grammys 2022 Performance

Swedish House Mafia x the Weeknd will perform together at Coachella.

The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia will replace Kanye West as the Sunday headliner at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April. They'll join Harry Styles and Billie Eilish as the festival's 2022 headliners, performing in Ye's scheduled slot on both weekends of the festival, which runs from April 15–24 this year. Swedish House Mafia were already announced as performers at Coachella 2022, though their headlining spot marks an upgrade.

Taylor Hawkins was survived by his wife Alison Hawkins and their three children when he passed away at the age of 50 on March 26. The Foo Fighters’ drummer was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Bogota, Colombia during a South American tour with the rock band. There were few details on how Taylor died after the news broke, although based on preliminary findings, it appears he may have overdosed, according to TMZ. While the investigation into what caused his death is still ongoing, the Foo Fighters said in a statement that it was a “tragic and untimely loss.” Taylor’s last performance with the band was on Sunday (March 20) at a concert in San Isidro, Argentina.

The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia have been announced as last-minute headliners for Coachella 2022, replacing Kanye West.Last week, it was reported that Ye was pulling out of his closing night headline sets for the two-weekend event, which takes place April 15-17 and April 22-24 in Indio, California.The news has now been confirmed by Coachella, who took to Instagram this afternoon (April 6) to share a new line-up poster featuring “Swedish House Mafia x The Weeknd” on the Sundays of April 17 and 24 in place of Kanye.Swedish House Mafia had already been scheduled to perform at the festival, with The Weeknd now joining them for a bill-topping joint set.“I’m so looking forward to this moment with Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd finishing out the Sunday night slot this year,” Coachella organiser Paul Tollett told Variety of the news.“Coachella has a special relationship with Abel [Tesfaye] and I’m so thankful to have this upcoming performance with these iconic artists all on the same stage.”“The Party & The After Party,” Coachella labelled the news.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAs predicted, Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd will replace Kanye West at Coachella on Sunday night.They will perform in the festival-closing Sunday night slot, joining Harry Styles (Friday) and Billie Eilish (Saturday) as Coachella’s 2022 headliners.Although many media outlets reported that the Weeknd would take the slot himself, that was never a realistic proposition: For the past several months he’s been immersed in the HBO series “The Idol” — which he is co-writing, co-directing and stars in — and his own stadium tour doesn’t start until July.Other names thrown into the week’s frenzied prediction mix include Justin Bieber, Travis Scott, Silk Sonic (featuring Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) and Tyler, the Creator. When the 2022 Coachella lineup was announced back in early January, Swedish House Mafia had rare, almost unprecedented placement in the hierarchy of the festival’s all-important official poster: in a headliner-sized font, but at the bottom of the lineup, and with no specific date listed.A few days later, Variety unspooled several hundred words speculating about what that might mean, one possibility of which was that the festival was hedging its bets in case headliner Kanye West — who’d pulled out of a previous Coachella lineup literally days before it was announced — pulled out again, which is exactly what happened on Monday.It is important to note that not just anyone can pull off a headlining set at North America’s biggest and most popular music festival.

The Wanted fans were left emotional when late singer Tom Parker was given a heart-wrenching tribute at The Grammys on Sunday night, 3 April. One person sobbed that Tom, who said in a video interview weeks before his death that people should live every day like "it's your last", still managed to "make it to the Grammys", and posted how bittersweet the memoriam segment was at the awards ceremony, as a flood of heartbroken viewers followed suit.The ceremony's presenters announced there would be a memorial segment dedicated to all the musicians the industry had lost in the last year, with Tom and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins featuring prominently in the montage. What's more, Tom's wife Kelsey also shared her own reaction to the scenes as she posted a video clip of the moment alongside a string of red heart emojis.

Kanye West has pulled out of this month’s Coachella festival because, well, who knows, it’s Kanye after all.
