Roger And Injuries

Roger and injuries

from when he started drumming to now

blisters on the fingers and bloody hands (probably looking like this)

(from Rufus’ IG (x) - thanks @bohemiansweede

1960 (ca.) ‘During one long summer Roger was shot in the back of the leg as the gang scampered through fields pursued by a zealous farmer’s son. “It was only a pellet but it left a bit of a mark,” said Geoff (Moore).‘ ~ from Mark Hodgkinson’s book “Queen - The Early Years”. (thanks @quirkysubject)

1967 (February) car accident in Cornwall (x)

1974 fell down the stage and knocked himself out (x)

1974 hit on the head with a full can of lager (x)

1974 (November) severely bruised his foot when in anger he tried to kick down the panel in the dressing room (x)

1975 (Hammersmith) “Roger Taylor was really sick – he looks pretty good, but he was feeling really bad. I think he threw up afterwards, but you wouldn’t know [from watching].” - Brian May [x]

1976 (March) cuts his foot after missing a step while getting off the stage. (x)

76-03-22 Tokyo (blood on Roger’s trousers???) (x)

1976 got blown off his drum stool while filming the video for TYMD… (x)

Not sure when those happened and if the black-out bit is the same as the TYMD accident.

Also, thanks @let-roger-get-a-lunch for mentioning the many car accidents. We are not sure if he ever got hurt though.

Can you all help me complete the list … please?

Freddie Mercury

Rarity: 5☆

Weapon: Sword

Vision: Pyro

Nation: Sumeru

Here's Freddie from my Genshin Impact x Queen crossover!

Freddie is a famous singer from Sumeru, who has also traveled to Fontaine with Xinyan to learn rock music and share it with the rest of Teyvat, aiming to get in his own band. He uses his Pyro energy to heat the audience up and unleash his powerful voice. He loves to use his very own custom-built microphone/sword to fight enemies and sing on stage. However, Freddie has a soft and loving side to him, he's very loyal, selfless and determined to bring a smile to everyone!

Freddie was so much fun to design and -while keeping in mind his Pyro element and the Sumeru region- I mixed a ton of Freddie's outfits together to make it as flamboyant and royal as possible! Zhandra Rhodes, the feathers from his Hard Life outfit, his sequined and harlequin leotards, a red scarf directly from Hot Space, gloves and wristbands, the iconic black nail polish, obviously an exposed chest... And lots of wings to recall both the phoenix and the god Mercury! His microphone/sword recalls the red Q ribbon and the rose thorns in the Queen logo, while the rose in the middle is the Freddie Mercury rose.

Here you can see all the sketches with very early studies for all their designs and Here is a little overview of them as characters, with aesthetics and quick summaries. ROGER | JOHN | BRIAN

Hairless version (more aligned with Genshin's aesthetic):
