Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Roger, my most sincere condolences to Natalie and their family. Roger leaves a legacy of wonderful music that will endure for generations. I'm privileged to own over 20 CD's. plus vinyl albums and box sets having followed his career since childhood. Thank You for the pleasure you gave so many for so long. Your home may have France, your land Kenya and your country England but you have an eternal home in the heart of each of us to whom you have given so much pleasure.

My sincerest condolences to family & friends. Roger’s music in the 80’s was something i heard much growing up as a teenager and i got a few records from 70’s back then. He always enlightened my way, singing with feelings and i’m so sorry for your devastating loss. Heaven is gonna shine a bit brighter tonight. Love always, AwA

Saddened to hear about Roger Whittaker. His style and melodies were a great comfort and made a fantastic change to the the rock and pop culture. Roger will be missed. But his music, thankfully, will live on.

My parents will greet Roger Whittaker in Heaven - and thank him for the wonderful soundtrack to their adult lives through all his lovely music. Lots of tunes, lots of beautiful and unforgettable trills, lots of colourful memories. Thank you, Mr. Whittaker, you sent happiness into our lives. 🎶🎵🎶

My favourite musician and singer, Roger Whittaker, has past away. Kenyan/English a “third culture kid”. His song “My land is Kenya” says it all. Got to know his music and his lyrics as moved to Iceland in 1972. Since then his music has meant so much for me. It has followed me ever since. Part of my history.

I have loved his music for many, many years. I am so very sad after learning of his passing. Many years ago, my mother played for me the song “Old Durham Town.” She was in tears as we listened. She grew up in Tucson, Arizona during the Second World War where Davis Monthan Army Air Corp was located. Her memories of this time were precious to me. Form then on, we were Roger Whittaker fans. Loved him and loved his incredible voice.❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔

My mother worked for Roger in the 70’s. He took me to London and introduced me to the recording studio. It’s been my life ever since. He changed the lives of many…… unknowingly he actually gave me a life. I’m eternally grateful. Sincere condolences to Natalie and all the family.

Thank you for many years of pleasure. One of my first childhood memories was you playing a Birthday dedication for me at one of your live shows (Boa Constrictor). Your voice was like chocolate - although perhaps not when singing that one. I am smiling thinking about it now. May you rest in peace.

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.

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.
