Everleigh Hawkins is the youngest of the three children of Taylor Hawkins, the Foo Fighters drummer who died in March 2022, and his wife, Alison Hawkins. Several outlets report that she was born in November 2014. That would make her 11 for most of 2026, turning 12 in November 2026. She has no public career and no verified public accounts. She has appeared in public only a handful of times, and each appearance has been tied to her father’s music: a cameo in his 2020 “Middle Child” video, a moment on stage at his Los Angeles tribute concert in 2022, and a starring role in a 2023 music video by singer Marley Chaney.
Key takeaways
- Everleigh is the youngest child of Taylor and Alison Hawkins, who married in 2005. Her older siblings are Oliver Shane “Shane” Hawkins and Annabelle Hawkins.
- Grunge and Nicki Swift report that she was born in November 2014. Some 2022 coverage described her as a year older than that date would make her.
- Her father’s song “Middle Child” was written about her sister Annabelle. HollywoodLife and Nicki Swift report that Everleigh makes a brief appearance in its January 2020 video.
- On September 27, 2022, Alison Hawkins joined Brian May on stage “with her children” at the Los Angeles tribute concert for Taylor Hawkins, according to May’s official site.
How old is Everleigh Hawkins?
Everleigh Hawkins was born in November 2014, according to Grunge’s September 2024 profile of her father and to Nicki Swift, which cites Distractify. That puts her at 11 heading into November 2026. Her exact birthday has not been published by her family. Dates circulating on fan pages should be treated as unconfirmed.
Some coverage from 2022 gives a different picture. When Alison Hawkins released her first statement after her husband’s death in June 2022, Blabbermouth’s report on the statement listed the children as “Oliver, 16, Annabelle, 13 and Everleigh, 8.” HollywoodLife also described her as “now 8” in September 2022. A November 2014 birth would have made her 7 at both points. Neither outlet explained where its figure came from. The November 2014 date appears in more places, including Grunge’s later profile, so it is the better-supported reading. It still rests on press reporting rather than a family announcement.
Taylor Hawkins’ three children
Taylor Hawkins confirmed the basic family picture himself. Blabbermouth quotes an interview he gave to the Sydney Morning Herald around the release of his 2019 album Get the Money: “I married Alison Hawkins in 2005. We have three children.” All three were named in public shortly after his death. On March 27, 2022, Pearl Jam’s condolence message ended with “Our deepest condolences to Alison, Shane, Annabelle and Everleigh Hawkins and to the entire Foo Fighters family,” as carried in Vermilion County First’s roundup of musicians’ tributes.
| Child | Reported birth | Public role |
|---|---|---|
| Oliver Shane “Shane” Hawkins | August 2006 (reported) | Drummer. He played “My Hero” with Foo Fighters at the Wembley Stadium tribute on September 3, 2022 |
| Annabelle Hawkins | May 2009 (reported) | The inspiration for her father’s song “Middle Child,” and featured in its video |
| Everleigh Hawkins | November 2014 (reported) | Youngest child. Brief appearances in music videos and at the Los Angeles tribute |
Shane is the most visible of the three. At the Wembley show, Dave Grohl introduced him to the crowd by saying, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone hit the drums as hard as this person,” and added, “but beyond that, he’s a member of our family,” according to Nicki Swift. Annabelle became part of her father’s recorded work through “Middle Child.” Everleigh, the youngest, has had the smallest public role of the three.
Annabelle, Everleigh and “Middle Child”
The song most often linked to Annabelle and Everleigh Hawkins is “Middle Child,” from Get the Money. That was Taylor Hawkins’ third album with his side project, Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, released on November 8, 2019, through Shanabelle/RCA Records.
Hawkins wrote the song about Annabelle. HollywoodLife relays his 2020 interview with writer Joe Daly, in which he recalled her telling him, “You have to have a song about me!” He said he replied, “You’re the middle child and you’re acting like a middle child right now, seeking attention and approval.” That exchange gave the track its title. HollywoodLife also reports that it was picked as the lead single for the UK market.
The video arrived in January 2020. Rolling Stone’s report on the “Middle Child” video says it was directed by Hawkins, Wiley Hodgen and Jeff Coffman, and features Dave Grohl on guitar. It opens in a sepia-toned kitchen where Hawkins sits with Annabelle in front of a television and tells her, “My little twin I am here with you.” The clip then moves into a green-screen world inspired by vintage MTV, with the Coattail Riders performing among animated rainbows and mushrooms.
Everleigh’s part is small. HollywoodLife and Nicki Swift both say she appears in the video, and HollywoodLife places her at the very start, using a remote to flip through TV channels. Rolling Stone’s description doesn’t mention Everleigh. It gives the channel-flipping to Annabelle. So the exact scene is described differently depending on the outlet, but two outlets agree that the youngest Hawkins daughter is in the video. AmoMama’s 2023 claim that all three siblings appear goes further than any of those accounts.
On stage at her father’s Los Angeles tribute
Everleigh’s most public moment came on September 27, 2022. That night, Foo Fighters and the Hawkins family held the second of two tribute concerts, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The first had taken place at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 3.
Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor closed their set with May performing “Love of My Life” alone on acoustic guitar. May told the audience the song had been a late addition. As Ultimate Classic Rock reported, he said he’d received a message from Alison Hawkins asking him to play it “for me and Taylor because it was our song. It was played at our wedding.” He quoted her as adding, “Get everybody to sing it as my gift to the love of my life.”
What happened next is recorded on Brian May’s official report from the Los Angeles tribute. Its setlist notes that May played the song at the request of Taylor’s widow, Alison, who later joined him on stage “with her children.” A fan-filmed clip posted to YouTube is titled “Brian May w/ Alison, Annabelle & Everleigh Hawkins,” which names the two daughters. Accounts differ on whether Shane was also there at that moment. The appearance is documented on May’s own site, but it was a brief walk-on during a song chosen by her mother. It was not a performance.
Starring in Marley Chaney’s “Playing Kid”
In 2023, Everleigh appeared in a music video that wasn’t her father’s. Singer Marley Chaney released “Playing Kid” as a single that year. A September 19, 2023, Instagram post on a Foo Fighters fan account reshared Chaney’s own announcement: “We made a video for Playing Kid!!!!!” In that post, Chaney addressed Everleigh and her mother directly: “Allison and Everleigh, you both mean so much to me and I feel honored to know you and to work with you.” The fan account’s caption describes the video as featuring Everleigh.
This is the only project in which Everleigh is presented as the main on-screen figure, rather than a family member making a cameo. Neither Chaney nor the Hawkins family has said publicly how the collaboration came about.
How the family has handled public attention since 2022
Taylor Hawkins died on March 25, 2022, at the Four Seasons Casa Medina hotel in Bogotá, Colombia, where Foo Fighters were due to perform that night. He was 50. Colombia’s attorney general’s office released a preliminary toxicology report saying ten substances had been found in his system. An official cause of death had not been released when Blabbermouth reported on the case in June 2022, and People reported in March 2026 that it still had not been made public.
From the start, the band asked for privacy on the family’s behalf. Foo Fighters’ announcement said: “Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time.” When Alison Hawkins spoke publicly on June 8, 2022, she did so “as Taylor’s wife, and on behalf of our children,” thanking fans and asking “all of us who loved him most to honor Taylor’s legacy and the music he gave us.” The same day, the band and family announced the two tribute concerts.
Each of the children has stepped into public view in a different way. Shane has played drums before stadium crowds. Annabelle’s place in her father’s catalog is fixed by “Middle Child.” Everleigh’s appearances have been brief, and each one involved her father’s music or people connected to it. None has come with an interview or a statement in her own voice.
FAQ
Is Everleigh Hawkins the same person as Everleigh LaBrant?
No. Everleigh LaBrant, also known as Everleigh Soutas, is a social media personality from the LaBrant family YouTube channel. She has no connection to Taylor Hawkins. Questions about Everleigh LaBrant’s age or school grade concern that other child.
Does Everleigh Hawkins have social media?
No account has been publicly identified as hers. Instagram pages using her name, including birthday posts, are run by fans rather than by Everleigh or her family.
Final Thoughts
As of November 2026, everything publicly known about Everleigh Hawkins fits within a few dated moments: a reported November 2014 birth, a short appearance in the 2020 “Middle Child” video, a walk-on with her mother at the Kia Forum tribute in September 2022, and Marley Chaney’s 2023 “Playing Kid” video. Each one connects back to her father’s music and the musicians around him. She has not spoken publicly, and her family has not shared more about her.
For readers, the practical takeaway is that profiles listing Everleigh’s school, interests, net worth or personal accounts go beyond anything she or her family has made public. If more becomes known, it is most likely to come from the Hawkins family or the musicians they work with.
