Before I get into the extremely emotional voicemail that Taylor Hawkins left Miley Cyrus just days before he died, let me ask you all a question: Do you save voicemails from people you love just in case something bad happens to them? That way you can hear their voice forever? I have one from my mom the week before she passed away and even though I haven’t had the strength to listen to it, I feel loved and comforted knowing that it is there for me if I ever need it. 

Now back to the voicemail Taylor left for Miley. A few days before the surprisingly sudden death of Taylor, he left Miley an amazing voicemail. In the voicemail he told Miley that she has an amazing voice and that he would love to hear her cover Def Leppard’s 1983 hit, “photograph”. Miley never had the opportunity to grant Taylor’s wish while he was with us but at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert she knew exactly what song she had to sing. Full of emotion, Miley hit the stage at the benefit show and gave Taylor exactly what he asked for. To say it was beautiful would be under selling it. It may have been the most amazing thing my watery eyes have ever seen.
