As of writing, neither the band nor the Hawkins' family disclosed any information on what caused the ferocious drummer's death.

However, local media reports that the drummer was found dead in his hotel room ahead of their performance.

Per Rolling Stone, the band is currently on a South American tour where they were scheduled to play in Bogota, Colombia, for the Festival Estereo when Hawkins passed away.

Before going to Colombia, the band stopped by in Paraguay for their performance at the Asuncionico Festival, which was ultimately canceled because of the inclement weather in the area.
