on the road to nowhere in particular

Iconic front man from the two tone era.

Only 56

Keep on skanking Roger

I used to like the beat

I lived and breathed that 2Tone era and everything it stood for. "I Just Can't Stop It" was an excellent debut album.

He always seemed to be a down to earth, humble guy, a true Brummie if you like.

Ranking full stop.

There and to the left a bit

Met him once and he was lovely - have been out this evening so shocked to come home to the news, even though I knew he'd been ill.

Was lucky enough to see him perform twice (once back in the day and once more recently) and he always gave it 100%

Rest In Peace Roger and keep on skanking up there

If you've got 8 and a half minutes to spare, here's a recent interview from Rog where he's coming to terms with his situation. What a guy.

No! My wife said a few years ago to see a reggae band. It was actually The Beat with Ranking Rodger. A great night . RIP .

Very sad, still love the 2Tone/ SKA scene and regularly go to gigs. Met him once and chatted like we were old mates. Absolute gent. RIP rude boy.
