It’s Roger Taylor’s birthday, everyone! I suspect that you all knew that. If you didn’t remember, Duran Duran’s social media reminded us both last night when it turned midnight in the UK and then again this morning with a message from Roger himself. If you want to hear it for yourself, you can not only check it out via the band’s social media but also on the band’s official website. Now, on top of that, Roger brought us all a gift. (I’m not sure if he understands how this birthday thing works. Usually, the person with the birthday gets the gift and not the other way around. That isn’t to say that we all don’t appreciate it! We all do!) Roger shared a party playlist. Like the message, this can be found on the band’s official website.
Anyway, in honor for Roger’s birthday, I would love to share some clips that I like featuring our favorite drummer.

I just realized that most of this post is made up of gifts for us, the fans. After all, who doesn’t love to watch videos of Roger?! Then again, he started this trend himself since he shared a party playlist with all of us. I’m just following in his footsteps, right?
On a more serious note, Roger is celebrating a milestone birthday this year. (60! EEK!) He might not be able to have a huge birthday bash with thousands of people but I hope he is able to enjoy his day with his family and whomever that he is at home with. Happy Birthday, Roger!
