Heartfelt condolences to Natalie and family. I knew Roger and Nat for many years in our French village and, apart from loving growing up with his music, especially loved a tale he liked to tell about a number of us on a visit to watch Leonard Cohen in Toulouse. It made me smile whenever he told it, much embellished! Lovely Roger, goodnight. Nat, hope to see you soon. Much love. Rosa
Thank you Roger for sharing your gift with the world...along with your kind spirit and humble heart. Your music was the soundtrack of my childhood as my grandparents always played your music at the cottage (and now I play it). I was blessed to watch you perform 4 times in North Bay, Ontario. Your family is in my thoughts & prayers. May you rest peacefully. 🙏
Devastated to hear about the passing of such an entertainment legend on my Birthday. Roger brought hope where there was sorrow and happiness and truth in his songs.My favourite was Perfect Day which he sang with his daughter. The lyrics were beautiful and meaningful and made me cry as I thought back to my mother who loved his songs so much. A last Farewell to the man who changed the face of entertainment. I shall miss you.
Thank you, I have enjoyed your music throughout most of my life. Having also lived in Kenya, I resonate with your words and music from the heart of a man who loved life and beauty of that land. Of a similar generation, I am grateful that we shared life’s’ journey together, you added color and pleasure to mine. Again, a heartfelt thank you. Condolences to the Whittaker family at this time.
Very sad to hear of Rogers passing. What a great true and honest voice he had. So characterful and inspiring. He has been a very great inspiration and comfort to many.
I grew up with parents who listened to his records and went to a couple of his danish concerts, so even though it was not typical for a small boy in the 70's to play that kind of music on his own tape-recorder, I did just that. People like Roger Whittaker simply helped widen your horizon if you just listened and took it in as the great music it was. May he rest in peace.
Can't believe it I grew up with him my parents always played his music and especially the last farewell was one of my favourites rest in peace friend you were one in a million thankyou formaking my 39 years of life wonderful with such wonderful music
A lovely voice. Background to many childhood memories. RIP Mr Whittaker.
I’m so very sad as is my son who is 21 years of age. I was raised listening to Roger’s Christmas Album. In turn, I raised my son listening to the same. It would not be Christmas without hearing Roger’s voice. RIP.
RIP Roger.
Such a talented artist and will be solely missed.
Streets of London is one of my favourite
Songs.
You will always be on my 🎵 playlist.
🙏
So very sad. Only 11 days after my tattoo saying “Their guns on fire as we sail into hell”.
You'll be whistling with the angels now, mr. Whittaker. My condolences to the family 🥀
Traurig, sehr sehr traurig, wieder hat ein großartiger Sänger, Musiker und Gentleman diese Welt verlassen. Seine Lieder und seine Musik werden weiter leben. Ich wünsche seiner Frau Natalie und seinen Angehörigen viel Kraft zu diesen großen Verlust.
" Abschied ist ein scharfes Schwert".
As an ex Bangorite I wish to pass on my condolences. Sir, your voice was superb and your whistling sublime. R.I. P.
New World in the Morning is one of my all time favourite songs. Thank you for sharing it with me and the world. Condolences to family and friends.
Deepest sympathy to Natalie and all the family on the passing of Rodger A true gentleman always to meet ..I hold a special memory I'll never forget Rodger and Natalie for welcoming one of his life long fans from Florida into their home with great kindness and making a dream come true 💗 May Rodger gentle soul rest in peace 🌹
His music will play on forever! A great voice has been silenced. Prayers and blessings for his family.
Growing up from the 60s i have loved his music during the years , the world will miss him. R.i.p. Roger
Such sad news to hear of Mr Whittaker's passing, he seemed such a gentle, kind, man, and that came through in the nature and timbre of his music. I remember as a child his music being on in the house, such a comforting sound. RIP Mr Whittaker, and thank you for bringing such joy to so many people across the world.
My condolences to the Whittaker family.
He will be remembered fondly with a smile on my face and a cheerful whistle on my lips.
