Queen drummer Roger Taylor knows a thing or two about extravaganzas. He’s the guy, after all, who brought not just gongs but tympani on tour back in the ’70s. He sang those high-pitched Galileos. He’s in love with his car.
He’s Roger F*cking Taylor and you’re not.

Amen!
In-depth interview with Brian and Roger from 2011 that’s not on the official Queen site anymore (links for parts 2 and 3 at the bottom are working)
Was Smile’s music recognisable as Queen?
“Very much so. The sound of Queen was there. Brian always had that very distinctive guitar sound, even back then. We have been playing together, almost telepathically, ever since. You’re very lucky to be in a band and have the kind of musical relationship Brian and I have. We make a lot of noise together!”
Roger Taylor (x)
Q: Tell me please: What’s going on with other musicians from Queen? I know that Roger Taylor has recorded a new album, “Electric Fire”.
Bria May: Yes, that’s right and John is very quite and mysterious.He’s doing things with his children. He has 6 children, so life is quite different for him and he seems to be happy with that.
Q: Do you still meet them?
Brian May: Yes, we meet for fun and we’re good friends.
Q: Do you have any plans to work with Roger and John?
Brian May: No, and I think at the moment we don’t think about it too much. For me it’s healthy to move away and to move on and find new ways. I really don’t get up and think about Queen in the morning. I get up and think what I’m doing and I like it, and I feel that there are new places to go (laughs).

“Katherine Hamnett had created a series of oversized white t-shirts with block letter design. The Choose Life t-shirt was addressing the issues of suicide and drug abuse, a prevalent problem of early 1980s Britain.
(…)
But Wham! weren’t the only fans – Roger Taylor of Queen also wore the Hamnett t-shirt in the band’s video of the song Hammer to Fall as well as wearing another tshirt at the inaugaral Rock ‘n’ Rio Festival.”
