For more than 50 years, Roger has been a driving force behind one of the most successful bands in history. With Queen, he has sold more than 300 million albums, leaving his indelible musical and vocal stamp on such iconic songs as Bohemian Rhapsody, Under Pressure and Another One Bites The Dust, as well as writing the worldwide hits Radio Gaga, A Kind Of Magic, These Are The Days Of Our Lives and co-writing countless more. Few people embody the idea of the rock star quite like Roger does. From his early days as Queen’s resident poster boy to his current role as one of the custodians of the band’s immense legacy, he has always been at ease with the lifestyle that success has given him. Roger Taylor formed the band Smile with guitarist Brian May in 1968. Within three years, that band had transformed into Queen with the addition of singer Freddie Mercury and bassist John Deacon, embarking on one of the most successful careers in the history of popular music. Roger was an integral part of the alchemy that made Queen so unique, bringing his own distinct songwriting and playing to each of the band’s 15 albums. He launched his solo career in the late 1970s, subsequently releasing six albums under his own name and another three with his side project The Cross. His latest album, Violence Insane In A Beautiful World, will be released this Autumn, and he will be touring in support of it. Queen’s story was immortalised in the Oscar-winning 2018 movie Bohemian Rhapsody, on which Roger was co-Executive Music Producer. The film would go on to gross almost $1Bn worldwide, making it the most successful music biopic in history. In 2011, Roger and Brian May relaunched Queen with singer Adam Lambert, embarking on a series of hugely successful international tours. In recent years, he has balanced Queen with his own career, releasing the widely acclaimed solo album Outsider in 2021. In 2020, Roger was awarded an OBE for services to music. Roger, alongside fellow Queen member Brian May, recently curated and released a lavish Collector’s Edition version of their classic 1974 album Queen II, featuring a 2026 mix of the album, intimate fly-on-the-wall audio of Queen in the recording studio, previously unheard outtakes and demos, live tracks and radio sessions. While music has always been Roger’s prime passion, it’s been far from his only interest. Queen’s beloved 1975 song I’m In Love With My Car was the drummer’s hymn to petrolheads everywhere, an interest he has pursued over the years via an impressive collection of cars. It’s not just four-wheeled vehicles that have captured his imagination over the years. Since the 1980s, he has been an avid sailor, owning a string of luxury yachts and sailing as far as the Caribbean and, subsequently, around the world. Most recently, his hands-on involvement with Queen Côtes de Provence Rosé wine is an extension of his love for the finer things life has to offer.
