Stewart Copeland Driven To Tears By Shane Hawkins

Stewart Copeland says he was driven to tears during the late Taylor Hawkins’ son Shane’s rehearsal for the Wembley Stadium tribute show.

In a new interview, the Police drummer said,  “It is very emotional to be here and perhaps the most emotional moment of this whole thing, because we’re all staying in one big hotel together and laughing it up, talking about Taylor and enjoying the brief time he was with us, all too brief. But the most emotional moment for me was at sound check a couple of days ago here and to see young Shane Hawkins on the drums. I started crying. He’s got it. He’s got such power, enthusiasm. He’s got his father’s stance, musical language. That was really emotional to see young Shane up there.”

The 16-year-old stole the show at his father’s memorial concert, slaying the drums on ‘My Hero’ with Dave Grohl and the gang.

When was the last time you were moved to tears?
