@@the_Cr7goat he had surgery for two brain tumors and was being treated for lung cancer. He had done a video from his home shortly before this, it's on youtube, very emotional.
A big love to you Rodger Jnr. I saw The Beat in Berlin 2018 and after the gig when your were leaving i said hello. "Are you a scouser?" you asked. " Yeahman!", i replied " I flew all the way from Liverpool to see you tonight". Top gig x
I knew him in his journey and/though no reason of his band stuff, so can definitely say that, regardless of audience or not, the man's positivity was bordering on infectious and though I shot him, it's not what it seems ... He was a great person to know, brilliant speed skater on a set of Rollerblades too.
Hadn't listened to this for a while. So sad to lose Ranking Roger so young ...RIP. So nice to watch him and Ranking JR perform together, lucky enough to have seen them both here in NL live. As a father and of same age as Roger with a son of same age as JR...just happy they got to perform together and as this clip and the Quays clip shows they seem to be enjoying it to the max : )
I’m so privileged to have seen you both perform together at the Slade rooms. I was bought up on punk and ska and relate to a lot of the lyrics. My dad bought me to the Slade rooms in Wolverhampton ages ago and it’s probably the first time in my life I’ve seen him pissed 😂 He asked security whether we could meet backstage but they said no. Your sister signed my hoodie in place of that. I was told you were too knackered. Me and my dad drove home (stoned) and was sooo funny but my mom wasn’t impressed. Now I live in Malvern and away from that. I miss family times. I still have the hoodie lol!! Yeah get in touch
I see you boys live. Best night of my life in Tunbridge Wells seeing a father and son making beautiful music together for the rest of us to enjoy and appreciate. His spirit will live on. ❤️
R.I.P. Rankin Roger.Condolences to your family. I Grew up in Southern Cal in the 80's and your music was a huge part of my life's sound track. Thank you your legacy in music will play on!!!
Saw them last month with The Selecter in Glasgow, fantastic night n Roger n Jnr are great together. If u don't have the Bounce album yet or haven't seen them u don't know what ur missing. Same with The Selecter n their latest stuff. Outstanding 😃
I am so happy you have started producing again! i first saw you at the lyceum london where you were supporting the selector and supporting you were a band no one had heard of before called UB40 (and a few months before their first single!) Soo many years have passed and your son is a fantastic legacy and addition and you have got that sound nailed down! Big big respect to you Roger and son and hope you have the success you deserve!
Such a sad loss .never had the pleasure of seeing them live .but I've been watching the vids alot .really hope rankin junior Carries on performing both the beats music and his own .rankin roger would definitely be looking down feeling immensely proud.
Thanks bro for your message of love under difficult conditions . We gotta move in the correct way . All you said was so important in my country right now . Thanks bro .

Ranking Roger.
(21 February 1963 - 26 March 2019)
I never knew Roger was only 16 at the time of his first appearance on Top of the Pops until now.
Amazing performer.
Rest easy, Roger.
I grew up with Roger. I had the pleasure to see him live. You will be missed Ranking Roger. Ska'd for life!

just makes you happy to have ears
From one Ranking to the next. From old to the new. The legend continues, and the spirit lives on. Condolences Brother. Your ol' man is much loved and much missed by many globally. Some benchmark. I was there in Bodmin when you toasted and spread your wings back in 02/03. It was a memorable event. Come long since. Will go further still. One Love. 'Belly ©
A great song from a brilliant album. So sad to think I’ll never see Roger and Junior on stage together again
This is like listening to The Beat in their heyday.Absolutely brilliant
Absolutely cracking album. Had the pleasure of seeing these live with Pauline Black and it was phenomenal.
Saw them on the co headlining tour with the Selecter at the weekend and what a great night, love Roger and Ranking Jnr together, pure class act 😃
