Everleigh Hawkins is the daughter of Taylor Hawkins, an American musician and drummer known for his tenure with the rock band Foo Fighters. He was an integral part of the band, and his death in 2022 had an impact on the band’s functionality for a while. Everleigh’s father’s death came as a shock to the entertainment industry, and several sources indicated that he died of an overdose.
Everleigh is the youngest in the family, and at the time of her father’s death, she was just eight years old. Despite being young, she felt the void left by her father. As the youngest child, she had a close relationship with her father, and she was greatly affected by her father’s death.
Her Siblings
Everleigh is not the only child in her family; she has two older siblings: a brother named Oliver and a sister named Annabelle. Her older brother followed in their father’s footsteps. Oliver has ventured into the entertainment industry; he wants to pick up where his father left off. He is a drummer, and in 2022, he was on stage with Foo Fighters as they paid tribute to his late father.
Annabelle, Everleigh’s other sibling, is just 15 years old, and she might venture into the music industry someday. According to their late father, Annebelle inspired the song, Middle Child. Taylor noted that Annabelle was quite troublesome as she kept asking him when he would do a song about her.
Everleigh has been mostly out of the spotlight, but she has been seen on some occasions. For instance, in the music video Middle Child, where she made an appearance alongside her older siblings.
Her Parents’ Love Story
Everleigh’s parents met in the early 2000s; they have not revealed how they met, but they became quite close. Their friendship turned into something else as they began dating. After dating for a while, they decided to make their relationship official, doing so in 2005 at a special event attended by family and close friends. The family stayed in Topanga Canyon for a while before finally moving to Hidden Hills, California, in 2012.
Every marriage has its struggles, and Everleigh’s parents’s marriage was no different. Everleigh’s father struggled with drugs. However, despite this, Alison stuck with her all through. Their marriage ended in 2022 when Taylor Hawkins died.
Her Father
Everleigh’s father struggled with drugs for almost twenty years. While in an interview, he mentioned that he was not a junkie; it is just that he liked partying a lot. He could drink so much, and this began having a negative impact on his health. He mentioned that when he went for a check-up, his doctor told him that his heart was enlarged and he had sleep apnea.
One time, Everleigh’s father overdosed on heroin and went into a coma for two weeks. His family and friends were close to him during this time. But this was a turning point for him. But as they say old habits die hard, Taylor was unable to completely keep off drugs; and this led to his untimely death in 2022.
