One of the last acts of Taylor Hawkins was to meet and fulfill the dream of a young fan.

The drummer of the Foo Fighters had a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a nine year-old fan while the band was in Paraguay. Three days later, Hawkins unexpectedly passed away at the age of 50.

Emma Sofia started playing the drums two years ago, according a story from CNN. She was inspired by her uncle’s favorite band — Foo Fighters. And wanting to grab the attention of her heroes, she set up her kit outside the hotel where the band was staying and played for 30 minutes.

It worked.

Hawkins came down and had a one-on-one with the young musician — which was captured by her father and shared on social media.

If you’ve ever met Taylor, you’ll know — this is exactly the kind of guy he was. He will be so incredibly missed. #RIP
