Queen drummer, Roger Taylor, discusses the musical milestones of his life. Presented by Matt Everitt and first broadcast in 2011.

Roger remembers the band's formative years as impoverished Hendrix obsessives, scratching around west London, the recording of their masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody, being mistaken for a black American funk band when they released Another One Bites the Dust, their Live Aid performance, their precious talent (all four members have written Top 10 hits) and how he and the rest of the band dealt with the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991.
