First of all welcome to the board, Sandy! Make yourself at home and post much!
I don't think we will get an official announcement about Roger's condition unless it is very serious wich we all do not hope.

Hi Sandy , I understand how you feel about that...also, having had a previous experience with Freddie, even if we don't get official confirmation about one of them being ill or whatever, we won't stop worrying nevertheless . We tend to think that they don't want us to know a very sad truth! But I do hope it's not the case. It's not about the money we spend on them though - or I personally don't feel like that...it's just that we need to be close to them and these things make us feel like we're kept at distance...that's how I feel anyway . On the other hand, I can understand Rog's need of privacy IF he really is/was ill...Mmmh, confused as hell .

I completely agree with what you've written there Roberta - at the end of the day we spend the money coz we want too ~ they don't have to give the information if they don't want to!! Imagine how you would feel if you were in his shoes - would you want your illness posted all over the internet??

I'm quite annoyed something official has not been said about what exactly is wrong with Roger, bearing in mind Queen have been so active over the last few years. I totally appreciate why Roger (and Brian) maintain their privacy, but it's not half annoying when they get us all sucked into spending a fortune on going to concerts and buying their music.... and then when we want just a little bit of information about "how they are" they don't want us to know. Welcome again, Sandy! But sorry, I must contradict here... Just because we spend a fortune on them doesn't mean they own us anything when they are not working. Also I know if I am not feeling alright I go home and lick my wounds and also don't tell anybody about it. Maybe my mum or close friends, but definately not everybody. Maybe he's that sort of guy. The fact that Brian/Queenonline have not said much, and that Roger has aged suddenly and never really looked his old self since the start of the 2005 Q+PR Tour, I really, really hope that things are OK. It would be awful if he was really ill. Must contradict again. He looked horrible before the tour (sorry, Rog!) but the longer they toured the better in shape he was. When I saw him at the Brixton concert I thought he'd get a heart attach honestly. But the longer they toured in the better shape he was. He looked excellent for a man his age during the European Japan and US tour. I don't think he aged "suddenly" but he's turning 57 this summer. One should keep that in mind. I was/am worried if he's alright but I would not blow this out of proportion. We just have to wait and see what he's like at the VH1 rock honors. And they are still on if you read Brian's site.

completely agree, Brigitte. Sandy, take a look at the pictures one and ahlf year ago. Roger looked really old and partly ill IMO. then look at him now: he´s in good shape, looks damn yummy! The tour was a good cure for him. Sure this doesn´t provide him from eventually becoming ill and I hope he´s not seriously ill at the mo

I agree with Brigitte. Not only that... if he was to make some sort of 'announcement' then his kids would suffer. After all they are the ones who go to school and in that case scenario would have to put up with all this: @aw, you're poor dad. How is he?' As well as other whispers. No matter what any of us think, I'm sure his family will alwyas come first and so they should. He owes it to them to protect them so that they can lead a normal life as possible.
