More rock royalty has been added to the already legendary lineups for the upcoming concerts honoring fallen Foo Fighters' drummer Taylor Hawkins. Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, and Alain Johannes of Queens of the Stone Age are now part of the September 3rd gig in London's Wembley Stadium and the September 27th date in Los Angeles' Kia Forum.

The lineup of both shows already feature Geddy Lee of Rush, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen.

Each bill also features talent exclusive to that date.

Attendees of the London gig will also get special appearances from Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle. While the Los Angeles gig features Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gene Simmons of KISS and Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine. 

The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts were organized in the wake of Hawkins' untimely passing in March. Besides the aforementioned guests, each show will feature members of the Foo Fighters and the Hawkins family playing some of Hawkins favorite songs and celebrating his life.

Proceeds from each show will go to the charity of the Hawkins' family's choosing. You can sign up to be notified of ticket onsales here
