He is called the unique "soul of rock music", one of the most influential and great ones - all thanks to the fact that he was always free and independent of circumstances.
Biography
Paul Rogers was born in the English town of Middlesboro in 1949. From an early age he learned to play the guitar, sing, play the piano and compose a little. His musical preferences included blues, rock and other areas - he boldly experimented in them.
Paul from a young age was distinguished by one quality: if he set a goal, then he certainly achieved it. Moreover, if no one supported him in this, then he acted alone.
For example, when he decided to go to London from Middlesboro, one of the entire departing company got there. He spun among the bluesmen of various stripes, quickly orientated himself and realized what needed to be done. He joined the group FREE, which by 1970 already had three records and the immortal hit "All Right Now", which they still listen to.

In addition, Free were indispensable participants in all music festivals in their country, and were as popular as Led Zeppelin. Although the manner of their execution was completely different.
In those glorious times, Paul was invited to other groups, because FREE’s affairs got worse over time - everything fell apart. However, he preferred to assemble his own group, which was called BAD COMPANY. The group was a resounding success, everything was perfect, and here Paul acts in his own way: he goes nowhere to get the desired freedom. Occasionally, they implemented some projects together, but mostly Rogers acted alone.
Self swimming
Those years were very busy for him - album recordings, tours, charity events, musical projects with famous musicians, concerts.
In 2004, he was a partner of Queen, and considered this a good "adventure." They successfully toured, performing the songs of Mercury and Rogers, recorded a record, and then Paul just left, saying that he didn’t mind working together later. And again, Rogers was among friends from the BAD COMPANY on tour. And again everyone knew that at any moment he could leave if he conceived a new project.
And today they talk about him as the most freedom-loving and independent of musicians who does not strive for fame and does not sell face - he just sings.
