I suspect he is done as being in a regular touring band.
I don't believe this. I knew the tickets for September would be cancelled the moment I heard. But Dave has been on record so many times speaking to the importance of Foo Fighters in his life. It's not a hole that will be fulfilled by doing side projects or playing guitar or drums with other bands, not by a long shot.

Foo Fighters mean the entire world to him and is on another planet from any other project he does, he has stated this repeatedly. They will play again and probably within a couple of years. The complication is Taylor's impact on both Dave as a friend for decades and his impact on the Foo Fighters as a drummer and performer. That will lead to some serious downtime and mourning on Dave's part, but ultimately he will want to keep the Foo's going both because it's the most important project/band in his career and to honour Taylor by keeping it going.

Dave will be mourning privately for months and then will speak publicly when he's ready to what Taylor meant to him and the band. Then when he's ready he will want to play again...and it will be the Foo Fighters that he wants to play with.
