Miley Cyrus paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins who breathed his last at the age of 50 on Friday.

The 29-year-old singer took to her Twitter account and dedicated her Brazil concert to Hawkins while paying a heart touching tribute to him.

Dedicating her performance to honour Hawkins, Miley tweeted saying, "Tonights show is in honor of my friend Taylor Hawkins.
