Hawkins' death was announced last Friday, hours before the group was set to perform a concert in Bogota, Colombia.
The group was next slated to perform at the Grammy Awards on April 3, with global tour dates through the summer.
Pittsburgh was supposed to be the first stop on the band's North American tour.
They were set to stop at The Pavilion at Star Lake on May 14, but that has been canceled as well.
We lost one of rock music's greatest drummers. Our hearts go out to his family, the band, and fans around the world as we all mourn this heartbreaking loss. RIP Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins. pic.twitter.com/c49TXvSoxt
