		</div><p>Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had 10 different substances in his system at the time of his death, Colombian officials said.</p>
<p>The 50-year-old was playing on the South American leg of the band’s world tour when his sudden death was announced on Saturday.</p>
<p>In a statement following an initial forensic examination, the Colombian Attorney General’s Office said a preliminary urine toxicology test indicated the presence of 10 different substances, including marijuana, antidepressants and opioids.</p>
<p>The statement continued: “The National Institute of Forensic Medicine continues to conduct the necessary medical studies to ascertain the cause of death.</p>
<p>“The Attorney General’s Office will continue to investigate and will duly inform the findings of forensic examinations in due time.”</p>
<p>The rock group played in Argentina last Sunday and were due to perform in Bogota on Friday night.</p>
<p>It comes after the Bogota municipal government said the city’s emergency centre received a report of a patient with “chest pain” and sent an ambulance on Friday evening.</p>
<p>Paramedics attempted to revive Hawkins but there was no response and he was declared dead at his hotel in northern Bogota, the statement added.</p>
<p>The band, fronted by former Nirvana star Dave Grohl, said they were “devastated by the untimely loss” and asked for the privacy of Hawkins’ family to be respected.</p>
<p>Tributes have poured in from titans of the music industry, with Queen drummer Roger Taylor comparing his death to “losing a younger favourite brother”.</p>
<p>“He was a kind brilliant man and an inspirational mentor to my son Rufus and the best friend one could ever have. Devastated,” he said.</p>
<p>Meanwhile Queen guitarist Brian May said he is “heartbroken” adding that Hawkins was “family to us”.</p>
<p>Hawkins will appear on May’s upcoming remastered second solo album, Another World Revisited.</p>
<p>Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker remembered the days when Hawkins played with Alanis Morissette before playing for the Foo Fighters, adding that he was “sad” he would never see him again.</p>
<p>“I’ll never forget Laguna Beach days when I was a trash man playing in a punk rock band and you were playing with Alanis.</p>
<p>“You’d come watch me play in dive bars and be like, ‘kid you’re a star’.</p>
<p>“And I thought you were crazy but you gave me so much hope and determination.</p>
<p>“Years later we toured together with Blink and Foos in Australia and I have the best memories of smoking cigarettes in the restroom of flights we were on together and watching your set every night.</p>
<p>“To say I’ll miss you my friend isn’t enough. Till the next time we talk drums and smoke in the boys room.”</p>
<p>Hawkins was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1972 and raised in Laguna Beach, California.</p>
<p>He is survived by his wife Alison and their three children.</p>
