Biography
Roger Meddows Taylor (born 26 July 1949) is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, best known as the drummer for the rock band Queen. As a drummer, he was recognised early in his career for his unique sound. In addition to his drum work, he is well known for his falsetto vocal range. He sometimes played keyboards, guitars and bass on his own songs. Alongside his bandmate, Brian May, he has a short cameo in Queen's biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody (2018).
