Roger Meddows Taylor
Roger Meddows Taylor is the drummer, and one of the founding members of Queen. Prior to Queen, he was the drummer for Smile. He also has solo projects and the band The Cross. Born 26 July 1949, in Cornwall. Roger plays multiple instruments and collects guitars. Meddows is a family name. Has one sister, Claire. Has five children between Dominique Beyrand and Debbie Leng. Married Dominique in order to protect his kids, then one month later moved in with girlfriend Debbie.
Roger has a degree in Biology. Ran a stall at Kensington Market with then roommate Freddie Mercury. Freddie was Roger’s best friend throughout his life. When the theatrical We Will Rock You was active, Roger hired a crane to steal the huge Freddie statue from the marquee and it now stands in his back yard
Roger is the best drummer in the rock world. IMO the best ever. He has not had any lessons, Ginger Baker was one of Roger’s biggest influences.
Roger has written as several of the band greatest hits such s as Radio Ga Ga (which is where Lady Gaga got her name). Is known to have a very high vocal register. The high high notes you hear on Queen songs (pick one) are all Roger. While many claim his high notes are falsetto, they are not, they are part of his normal vocal range - when he was little sang for a boys choir. Freddie Mercury called Roger’s voice a “dog whistle”.
Roger has one of the largest groupie fan bases of anyone. He is very good looking - known for his mop of blonde hair and blue eyes.
