Fans think hawk flying over Taylor Hawkins tribute was the man himself

Foo Fighters fans captured a hawk soaring above the Kia Forum arena in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, as fans gathered to remember the late musician Taylor Hawkins.

The video, posted to the Foo Fighters Reddit forum, shows the large bird flying high above the venue, shortly before the doors to the concert opened.

"Tell me Taylor is here, without telling me Taylor isn’t here," a person commented on the video.

Hawkins unexpectedly died earlier this year at 50 years old.

"Taylor is just checking up on things. He’s alright," a Redditor wrote.

"No surprise! He’s gotta make an appearance," Shannon tweeted.
