Such sad news and condolences to the Whittaker family. I grew up listening to your beautiful voice and even now your music can be so touching as it reminds me of my late mum watching you on telly in the 1970’s.
I'm so sad. I saw a few concerts. It was wonderful for me and my family. Thank you very much for the beautiful moments. Your songs will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
Vielen Dank für die unvergesslichen Momente und die wunderbaren Lieder.
Sad loss to the world. Thoughts and prayers with his family. Thank you for all the happiness given over the years during my Growing up.
So sad to hear the passing of Mr. Whittaker. As child I remember "Last Farewell".
It took me years to understand her tears. Now, as an adult, I'm more aware of these things, and it makes me appreciate the music even more.
Thank you Mr. Whittaker for you wonderful songs.

As a kid growing up, I loved and still do love every music that you have sang and the movie you made of it. Loved MY LAND IS KENYA, SHIMONI (which by the way still gives me goose bumps every time), I AM BACK and not to forget THE GOOD OLD E.A.R &H,
MAY YOU FIND PEACE AND THANK YOU FOR THE BEST SONGS EVER
I had a great entertaining night when my husband and I went to see and hear Roger Whittaker sing and whistle. He was so relaxed and quite the storyteller.
My condolences to Roger's wife, children, and family.
Thank you so much for making us connect with Kenya each time we listened to 'My land is Kenya'. The song means a lot for Kenyans living abroad. Rest in peace! Kwaheri
One of the greatest songwriters and artists of modern times. His music has been an inspiration to me ever since I was a boy. Pure talent.
I am so sorry to hear of his passing. His music was the soundtrack of my youth. His music is calming and has made this hippy very happy over the years. My children also. Farewell old friend.
Thank you Roger for everything !
Thank you for the happiness you gave everybody.
You are singing with the Angels now.
Rest in peace.
Thank you for the memorable music.
I doubt we'll ever see or hear the like again.
Thank you for your many years of beautiful music, Mr. Whittaker. Please rest easy and enjoy your Last Farewell.
At the end of the sixties as as teenagers growing up in the UK we were suddenly aware of this singer, who our parents liked for his middle of the road songs and whistling skills. He suddenly produced a string of songs that resonated with the conscience of a young generation, about war, the environment and the emotional journeys in life. Rip Roger Whittaker.
