For those commenting on the fact that not all of the album is previously unreleased, let's remember that not counting Track 13, Made In Heaven only had three 'new' tracks, the rest being all re-workings of pre-existing (if not necessarily pre-released) material, and look how well that turned out. 🙂 Add to that, Fun on Earth has some re-worked Cosmos Rocks material as well as the Unblinking Eye. As for my thoughts, I can get why people are complaining of previously released material. However, I'm glad Roger is not giving up on solo material and STILL delivering massive bangers.

I don't think it's anything.
But there are bands that have had to postpone album releases lately due to a shortage of vinyl.

Strangely, the video seems to be hidden and not available by search on YT, just via this direct link...

Ok ok i would like to apologize to everyone, when i said that it was a bit disappointing that 6 tracks were already known i didn't want to sound mean as i perfectly know that we are all blessed by the fact that Roger is still working on new songs despite being 72 and billionaire. I just love so much to see new material that I wish it would be a douple album of unreleased songs. "You may I'm a dreamer...." He certainly loves his job and it's obvious when you see him taking part on the videoclip and going for a UK tour which i'd love to attend. Ok so please don't list me in the category of whiners and please accept my sincere apologize. Roger, you too! thanks

Roger Taylor sang with the SAS Band yesterday (September 5th) at the Concert at the Kings charity show. Perhaps partly to shake off some rust before touring?
He sang Heroes, A Kind of Magic, and Rock and Roll. He was also likely there when everyone joined in on With a Little Help From My Friends to close the set.
Just a brief 16-second video here:

Just a brief 16-second video here: It's tuned down a step, but he still sounds great. Who would've ever thought Roger's voice would be in better shape than Percy's all these years later ?

Does anyone know the final band line up for Roger’s tour?
The original press release said Charlie Jones was on bass and Jason Falloon on guitar.
Soon after that original release another announcement replace Jones with Neil Fairclough. In the past week or so I’ve seen that Christian Mendoza is now playing guitar in the band, but it’s not clear if that’s as well as, or instead of, Jason.
Anyone know definitively??

That's quite good indeed! It's just a fun tune played really damn well. A little lightness is a good thing from Roger. Hope there's more like it on the album.

I find it amusing that when I went onto Facebook to read comments about the song people are calling it atrocious. Then I come here and we're all praising it. Shouldn't it be the other way around? I usually find that we're more critical here. Lol
But seriously, the song kind of takes me back to I Wanna Testify and Turn On The TV. It's a super fun cover.

This might be my first post here after lurking, but it might be a coincidence rather than any pointed homage from Rog, but this track essentially has the 'More Of That Jazz; drumbeat, one of my personal favourites.
Great track for a Friday morning!
