Queen’s Roger Taylor shares animated video for his solo single Isolation

Roger Taylor has released an animated video for his new solo single Isolation.

The song was recorded during lockdown and first came to light towards the end of last month, with the track said to reflect “the current times of COVID-19.”

The new animated promo was produced by Animind Studio 2020.

Speaking previously with BBC Radio 6 Music, the Queen drummer revealed he wrote Isolation in his garden shed in Cornwall – a place he calls his “garden room.”

He said: “There is a certain frustration in not really knowing what is going to happen.

“It was a frustration and a slight anxiety behind it all, so I just thought I would write a song about how to fill the day – routine in isolation. It’s something we are not used to. It is a direct reflection of how I was feeling at the time.”

In the same interview, Taylor said he believed Queen would still be making music if Freddie Mercury was still alive.

Taylor said: “I do believe we would still being doing stuff together because it was a great collaboration. I don’t know if John Deacon would allow… of course John wasn’t quite mentally suited for it, the other three were.

“I would like to think we were still doing stuff together, whatever it might be. I think Brian May and I with Adam Lambert, we just loved doing the show, just seemed to get better and better, while we still can do it, we still will do it.”

Queen and Adam Lambert will return to the road throughout May, June and July next year – a run of shows that will include 10 nights at The O2 in London.
