Roger Taylor - Say It's Not True (Official Lyric Video)

After the tragic death of Freddie Mercury, Roger returned to his solo career with 1994's Happiness?, an album on which he explored the theme of "dealing with life and looking for happiness". The success of the album prompted further tours of the UK and Italy. Then came perhaps his most potent album, Electric Fire, which clearly showed Taylor as an acute observational songwriter. Rich in contemporary reflections on life, the album was full of attention-grabbing songs tackling thought-provoking and sometimes challenging issues - national obsolescence, domestic violence, and poverty, among them. One track, People On Streets, was inspired by visits Roger made to India and the inequalities he witnessed in the fortunes of that country's vast population. Never shy to express himself, several super- rich and powerful world figures get name checked in the song.
Roger returned to his solo career in late 2009 with the release of the single The Unblinking Eye. A new solo album emerged in 2013, the critically acclaimed Fun On Earth, plus a comprehensive box set called The Lot which covered all his solo material and work with The Cross. In 2017 Roger released a stand alone video single called ‘Journey’s End’ that reached No.1 in the iTunes Video Chart in several different countries.

About Roger Taylor:
Roger Taylor's contribution to Queen was far more than just the drummer. He wrote massive hit singles; 'Radio Ga Ga,' 'A Kind Of Magic,' 'Breakthru', 'Invisible Man', 'Heaven for Everyone' and 'These Are Days of Our Lives.' Plus fan favourites like 'I'm In Love With My Car' and 'Tenement Funster.' In 1977 Roger became the first member of Queen to launch a solo career with the release of the single I Wanna Testify. His solo album Fun In Space followed in 1981, and was succeeded by 1984's rock-based Strange Frontier. Both LPs reached the Top 30. In 1987 Roger formed his own band The Cross, in which after more than 20 years he finally resumed the role of lead singer. The Cross released three distinctive albums and toured extensively in the UK and Europe.

What a voice! What a TALENT!!!!!!!! I just want to cry when I hear you sing this Roger! BRAVO!

[@janascoville204]

Oh, Roger. I just heard this song for the 1st time, and like all the other listeners who loved Freddie, I am moved to tears. It is a beautiful, beautiful song and a very sweet expression of your love for Freddie. I can only imagine what it must have been like for you and all his loved ones to see him suffer from such a deadly disease and imminent death. It is my understanding that Freddie faced death courageously and without self-pity. I sincerely appreciate all that you and the other members of Queen have done over the past 30 years to keep Freddie's memory alive and to keep performing the awesome music that fans so desperately need and adore.

[@sandrarymph6993]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.!

[@allaplaystore7552]

Amazing song ! Thank you Roger ❤️

[@tonystark1180]

The original version of this song is on the 2008 album The Cosmos Rocks by Queen + Paul Rodgers - the first verse sung as on this version by Roger, then the 2nd verse sung by Brian, harmony vocals by both of them, and the rest sung by Paul. That was an album a lot of Queen fans dismissed and didn't buy. They really shouldn't have been so quick to discount it though. It's well worth getting hold of if you've never heard it.

Such a beautiful song. I can only imagine how hard it must be for his loss of Freddie..and the other members..anyone who was close to Freddie.

[@audreyoriordan5926]

Roger, what a beautiful song, captures the emotion and disbelief when Freddie died. I remember the shock when I heard the news on tv. My youngest brother aged 19, became obsessed with Freddie after hearing of his death and played his music a lot. Unfortunately for my family my brother, died unexpectedly a week before Christmas 1991, weeks after Freddie's death. I played my Queen Greatest Hits cassette repeatedly for about a year. I have never felt the same way about Christmas since. I have dreaded it ever since.

[@gencocorpuz3476]

Omg! Roger , You did your friend Freddie so good with this dedication! I sitting here in tears, the emotion in your voice is so painful! I've lost friends to this awful disease too and the lyrics are perfect! Im so sorry you , Brian and John lost Freddie, I'm sorry I don't get to know him! I have watched everything I possibly could on the internet, and like so many others I too feel as if I know him on some personal level , Freddie was a lucky , lucky man to have 1 true friend in his short lifetime, but even with all of his money , he had at least 7 that loved him without condition! That is what made him a truly rich man!! It makes my heart so happy to know that all 7 of you circled the wagons and protected our sweet , gentle Freddie! Who wanted nothing more to love and be loved! Thank you aĺl for sharing him with us , as painful as it seems for the 3 of you , you keep on keeping on making sure dear Freddie is never forgotten! ! You truly are such wonderful gentlemen for allowing us into your personal studio time and showing us your human side! I say this because to me and I'm sure so many others, you were not just mere mortals, you were Rock God's!! And still are!! Love you Roger and Brian!! ( and John ) ♡♥♡

[@janascoville204]

So very well-stated!! Anyone would be extremely fortunate to have such loyal, protective friends in this lifetime.

OMG What an amazingly beautiful song. In 2017, my husband of 31 years nearly passed away with heart problems. Being together for 35 years, it was so tough. I thought I would be left alone. I wish I had heard this song at the time, but now in 2019, it really stands true for me. I have had to think of the future, so I am planning my funeral. Roger, I would be honoured if my Children and Grandchildren could play it at my Cremation with the other Queen songs. Thank you xxx Dee

Oh, man. Queen fan since '73, the image of Roger in my head will always be the Pretty Boy, the Party Boy. It's heartbreaking to see this photo of him looking so sorrowful and hearing him almost literally crying out the pain of his loss of his friend Freddie. God bless you Roger, and Brian and John. We all miss Freddie, but none of us can really fathom how much the 3 of you do and always will. ❤️❤️❤️ 💛
