Rock stars worship the work of Paul Rodgers

“Paul was a hero to Freddie and us when we were starting out. When I first worked with him, I was in awe of him.”
— Queen’s Brian May

“I am a huge fan. His voice is probably the greatest rock-blues voice we have here in the U.K. I remember when we first played on a show with Free, The Small Faces were on the bill. Steve Marriott and I stood stunned at the authority of Paul’s sound, style, and control. They were the tightest, simplest and straightest band alive in their time. Every one of them was a master of simplicity and dignity — a word you can rarely use in our game.”
 — The Who’s
Pete Townshend

“Even though we’ve both been in the same business for 40 years each, I don’t think we’ve ever actually met, but I’ve always admired Paul Rodgers voice and his albums with Free, The Firm and Bad Company. Long live Paul Rodgers!”
 — Ozzy Osbourne

“Paul Rodgers is the best singer in rock and roll; no one else comes close. His range, his tone, his phrasing; it doesn’t get better than him. Paul is my favorite rock-and-roll singer. I think he is perfect for Queen, and Freddy Mercury was a hard act to follow.”
— Ritchie Blackmore

“From the band “Free” in the ’60s, to the more recent years as the lead singer of Queen, I have always liked Paul Rodgers’ voice a lot. He is truly an inspiration and it’s great to see him rocking the world. Happy 40th anniversary, Paul.”
— Scorpions vocalist
 Klaus Meine
