Just discovered Roger had died a few years back. Such a wonderful artist
What a beautiful singer /song writer
Abschied ist ein scharfes Schwert - wie wahr! Ruhe in Frieden Roger Whittaker.
To Roger Whitaker, a life well lived in song and story. You may have departed us, but your music will live on.
Saw Roger in 1990 at Millikin University and still have the flyer distributed that night. Still love to hear him sing on the LP vinyls I have. Beautiful person!
I first saw Roger in concert at the Apollo theatre, Manchester in the early 1980’s when I was a boy. I think it was about 1982. It was the first concert I ever saw and he opened with “I’m back”.
My brother and I used to buy his records from the nearby shops and the market. They were golden days and I still listen to him today, he’s a major influence. My elder brother interviewed Roger in 2008 while he was writing for the BBC and now my two sons listen to his music and buy his vinyls.
May the songs and music of Roger Whittaker never be forgotten.
So miss him.
Deeply loved his music
Last farewell my guy
I'm sorry to say I had not heard of the passing of Roger Whittaker. It saddens me to hear it. His music was such a huge part of my life, at least we still have that I guess. My deep condolences to all his family.
Rest in peace, Roger.
You are the only Musician who can push the right button to make me cry.
No other has ever achieved that.
Ps. I have a question. Any chance to reach out over Email?
Thanks
What more can be said. Utterly heartbreaking. So sad to hear of your loss. I saw him live in Calgary many Christmases ago.💔
I am sooooo sorry to hear of his passing. I just found out now in December of 2024!
He was, still is, and always will be one of my all time favorite artists. Both my dear late mom and i loved anything we saw or heard of his. Mom, and i, most especially liked "Last Farewell". I bought the vhs tape of his live show at the Tivoli, and we watched ot doooo often, loving everything about it every time. He was one of the most precious gifts the entertainment industry ever knew. I know my mom is up in heaven reveling in hearing his golden voice again. God be with his family, friends, and fellow fans.
"The Roger Whitaker Christmas Album" was a gift from my foster parents to my family. Even years later, the album holds a special place in my heart as I am reminded of my foster parents' kindness and love. The album is put on repeat every year around Christmastime. Thank you, Roger, for your giving your gift of music to the world.
A lovely man. I worked for Yorkshire Television in Leeds in the Sound Department until my retirement. I remember Roger coming in to do a recording in Studio Two. What a lovely lovely man! He made a lasting impression on me of musicality and gentle kindness RIP Roger
Roger, Your version of Ding Dong Merrily on High is the first Christmas carol; I que up each year. Your rendition of I'll be home for Christmas brings tears to my eyes.Then I listen to the whole album. Your voice is so smooth and articulate. It takes me back to my childhood and fills my heart with both joy and meloncholy, Thank you for all your songs but mostly for making my Christmas so special and wonderful. I am 68 now and have no idea how many Christmas holidays I have left. But you will always be a huge part of it. God bless you sir! To a life well lived
Your music continues to be a blessing to me and my family. May you forever rest in the arms of our Father. Your legacy continues to live on in your family, who you love, and in the gift of your music.
A wonderful and precious man. great singer I thank him for over fifty years of accompaniment in my life. Feel the need to go to his grave. He deserves it. where is he buried thanks
Roger was an amazing man with an amazing library of music. Every year I look forward to listening to his Christmas album on repeat. Rest In Peace.
