some fun facts about mr. roger taylor because why not:
he wrote some of the greatest Queen hits, such as Radio Ga Ga, A Kind Of Magic, The Invisible Man, Innuendo, These Are The Days Of Our Lives, Drowse and Breakthru.
In 1999 he appeard on a Royal Mail stamp, playing the drums behind Freddie (btw this made him the first living, other than the Royal Family, to ever appear on a Royal Mail stamp)
he promotes HIV/AIDS awareness. In 2003, Rog and Bri put together South Africaās 46664 concert, a musical event that promoted HIV and AIDS awareness in Africa.
he has eyesight problems, and thatās why he used to wear his shades all the time.
apparently, his grandfather used to tell him some dirty jokes when he was little and that made me chuckle a bit.
he was best man at Brian and Anitaās wedding (aw)
this thot actually locked himself in a cupboard until Freddie let Iām In Love With My Car turn into a single.
Roger quit smoking around 1987, after his girlfriend Dominique had pneumonia (it makes sense, cause I havenāt seen any more pictures of him smoking) (and aw this is the sweetest)
he once decided to actually dye his hair blonde (even tho he already was???), but turned out green bc he did some crazy shit and we have pics lol
ok so this one is strong: apparently he had a Ferrari and it caught fire. thatās it.
he shaved his legs for the I Want To Break Free video and I think thatās beautiful
he actually has a dragon tattoo on his leg lmao (btw look at his baby face jdidjfosb I canāt this doesnāt match) (edit: I know he has more tattoos now, I just find this particular one v funny lol Iām sorry)
he actually grew a small beard during 1969/1970 because people kept mistaking him for a woman and damn donāt even get me started about this.
he used to take 2 shots of scotch before every show. it makes a lot of sense.
ok this one is a history told by Crystal, are you ready? screw it letās go: once he got so fucking drunk he could barely stand up, claiming that āthe floor kept coming up at himā. so, when he finally got into the house and after a lot of crazy-drunk-taylor stuff, he flings open the bedroom door WHERE DOMINIQUE WAS SLEEPING, turnes on all the lights and screams āDARLING, I MADE ITā. so uhm I can totally visualize it ok cool.
ok guys, thatās it for today. this took me quite some time to do and was absolutely worth it lol ok bye I have no social life xx
ah and I can make some fact posts about freddie, roger and brian separately OR make a combo of Queenās fun facts what ya think?
