The life of Roger Taylor
Who is Roger Taylor?
Roger Taylor drummed for Duran Duran from the band's founding in 1978, through the years when they were among the most successful groups in the world. He left in 1985 during the peak of their fame and lived out of public view for a decade before rejoining in 2001. He is one of three unrelated Taylors in the band.
