Roger Taylor Interview on BBC Breakfast (4th October 2021)

[@kcnkck]

I love how rogers voice is still so soft and comforting

[@m.rubland6737]

Roger is still so straightforward and yet always friendly and humorous.

[@leed119]

Never ask Roger a question if you really do not want to hear the truth.

[@philnorris1354]

I saw him in a car park in 1988 at Wembley Stadium bollocking his chauffeur be cause he couldn’t make his car fly over the queue trying to get out. Quite nasty

Roger was always the pretty boy in the band. He has aged gracefully, he’s still a good person and a handsome man. People who are evil usually look it. He’s an amazing singer, but beyond his talent, he’s very witty with a marvelous sense of humor and very intelligent.

[@susanmetz9892]

Roger, Brian, John and FREDDIE, thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. The four of you have produced the soundtrack to my life for the past 46 years. I honestly have not gone a day in all these years w/o listening to Queen. Bless you all. Stay safe, be well and please keep it going. Freddie, please hear my words: Eternal peace and love.

[@Sonic-dogmagic]

Freddie, in spirit form, is probably still hanging around the band, because they always mention him in interviews about missing him. They do credit Adam Lambert, but they'll never forget their old buddy Freddie. They all have great voices and musical talent, but Freddie's voice was out of this world!

[@iris67si]

I also think Freddie is always somewhere around... Roger and Brian have said many times that they sense his presence and almost know what he would say about things they are doing... ❤

[@clausweber7361]

Roger... the biggest influence on my drumming and musicianship since 1974/75... Thanks for all the great tunes Roger! In deepest respect, Claus

His voice is unmatchable!! Queen really would have not been Queen without him

[@xprs1257]

His voice instantly recognisable.. It wasn’t until I listened to his vocals on his project with his band The Cross I listened more closely to his work with Queen and was blown away.

[@tommyzoo]

Don't you just love Roger ! He is still a young man in that body of his. You can tell he has mellowed, albeit he has to bite his tongue quite often, as he holds back on occasions !! I watched him a few days ago in Bath and he and his band were absolutely superb. The quality of the live performance cam out of years of honing his exceptional skills. We have to make the most of him and Queen whilst they are still able to perform !!

[@marcschndr]

Roger hasn't changed, his style is the same, he is a genious and great artist

I wonder just how many people failed to realise that Roger Taylor was in fact responsible for writing Radio Gaga and that it was also the great drummer's idea that they all dress up in drag for Coronation Street influenced video I Want to Break Free (that MTV refused to show). He's also great friends with Phil Collins and has helped him out many times in the past.

Roger didn't hesitate to mention George Michael as someone they would have liked to have done more with. What a shame they didn't as the songs they did at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert with George were outstanding.

[@noreenmicheleannuzzi8958]

I see it the same Roger Taylor about " Under Pressure " with the chemistry however, all of each as participants. But, there is a automatic grip between Freddie and David. It's so darn adorable in how Freddie Mercury played around on stage. I suppose fill in the gap and your voices, including that special man I will never let go. Your head man Freddie Mercury. I still miss him. I miss all of you (four Queen members) however, life must move on. You can't just stand still. I need to say how amazing USA keeps Queen alive. I miss Queen so much then as they were. I come to a stop because Queen fills the open empty spaces. Queen are a band who have a mix of music, a mix of words in a song and a mix of composing. Queen, I find mind blowing. I Roger Taylor singing and I hear his song so, for me he is and always be the drummer of Queen with that awesome voice mixed with Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, Brian May. Your Queen and I can not envision anything else. Luv u Rog 4ever.
