Whereas discussing his upcoming solo album (which options late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins on the monitor “Angels Like You”) on a brand new episode of the podcast Lipps Service, The Struts frontman Luke Spiller opened up the final time he noticed Hawkins earlier than his loss of life in 2022.
“Simply going again simply to the entire report itself, I keep in mind my final interplay with Taylor earlier than he went on that final tour of his. I used to be round his home and we have been enjoying and rehearsing for – we have been meant to do a bunch of, sort of, exhibits the place we have been going to be enjoying Queen and whatnot – and I had a couple of demos from this album,” Spiller mentioned earlier than including that Hawkins left him with some extraordinarily sort phrases of encouragement.
“I performed him a monitor known as ‘If This Isn’t Love.’ And it received from the verse after which to the refrain and he stopped [it]. He stopped and he was like, ‘Luke, Luke, Luke.’ And I used to be like, ‘What?’ And he was like, ‘I simply should say – You realize I really like you. You realize I really like the band and every little thing. However this…’ He was like, ‘That is the perfect factor I’ve ever heard you do.’
“It’s one among [my favorite songs on the record] for, you already know, not simply that motive, however once more he was talking my language and fully understanding the place I used to be coming from. He was like, ‘It’s like Queen, ‘The Sport’ period.’”
