In 1994, Gary Taylor (president of the Freddie Mercury Friendship Group) had a list of questions for Roger Taylor to answer. Roger wrote his answers on a paper where the questions were already printed on. The result was printed in the fanzine of the F.M.F.G. (address at the end of this page). Here is that questionaire! Please remember that these questions were answered by Roger in 1994, just after the release of his 3rd solo album "Happiness?".
