Dick Clark, what a classy guy. I'm sure him and Roger are catching up on what's happened since. God Bless 'em.

[@GlennTillema]

We've seen them four times, every time they absolutely put it out of the park; super high energy and doing all of their hits and new songs! They tour a lot so if you get a chance don't miss them!

What a great looking guy Roger was. RIP

[@pinkballoon8181]

Flipping gorgeous!!

[@blubreezer]

He was a genuine sweetheart, as well.

[@NWforager]

Rank in PEACE Roger 🎶

R.I.P. Roger and Everett.

That's Wesley Magoogan, one of the best sax players in contemporary music (the sax solo at the end of Hazel O'Connor's, Will you, in my book, is one of the top three sax solo's ever played in a song. The other two being the solo on Pink Floyd's, The Gunners Dream and the riff/solo on Gerry Rafferty's, Baker Street, both performed by Raphael Ravenscroft. Top three, but I couldn't put one above another, all three are stellar).

THAT ROGER WAS SUCH A HOTTIE!!!!

[@ronkeefe9048]

what a lovely man

[@davibrass]

He was 56 and wanted to die on stage. Roger passed away at 56, isn't it ironic

[@blown22]

Why did Dick Clark act like he didn't know about the U.S. band called "The Beat"? He actually had them on AB back in 1980! I'm surprised he didn't bring that up. LOL

[@Piwork69]

For the audience.

[@victorevanssr8771]

Awesome band. General public , The Beat

[@ec1628]

And Fine Young Cannibals

[@peterhudson5748]

couldn't believe that my favorite band at the time was on AB?!

[@ngonor1241]

Right?!

[@scoobydisney]

Roger and David were so hot! No wonder the girls were screaming!

[@peakyblinder777]

Handsome Roger . R.I.P brother 🙏❤

[@mastersupreme6126]

ANDY COX AND DAVE STEELE NEVER LIKED THE IDEA OF HAVING RANKING ROGER ON BOARD PLUS THEY WANT IT TO TAKE OVER MUSICAL DIRECTION MANY DISAGREEMENTS AND THEY DISBANDED WHO WOULD IT KNOW ALL WENT WELL ON THEIR OWN!

[@hoofhearted7251]

Why are you yelling mate?

[@jimbailey5681]

I'd rather have had more Beat records than General Public or Fine Young Cannibals

[@Fractalite]

General Public, three great albums much better than FYC.

[@johnmusk7007]
