Paul Rodgers during the CMT Music Awards tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd, April 2, 2023
Paul Rodgers has announced he’s writing his memoir. In an unusual—and welcome—twist, he’s asking his fans for help. The great vocalist, and former frontman of such classic rock bands as Free and Bad Company, among others, revealed the news on December 17, 2024, on his Facebook page. He reached a significant milestone that day: his 75th birthday.
“I’ve started working on my memoir which will be a heartfelt gift from me to you,” he wrote. “I’ll open up about my early beginnings starting with Free, Bad Company, The Firm, solo, Queen + Paul Rodgers, plus before and beyond. I will also touch on my recovery from some serious life changing health challenges.
“To make it even more powerful, I’m reaching out to the fans, my friends, family, and fellow musicians to help contribute to the story from their perspective and that’s where you come in. You may remember I’ve always loved and encouraged audience participation!
“I want to have your input, as you’ve all been a big part of this minstrel gypsy’s journey. Please share your pictures and memories that relate to me to my website and we’ll go through it and who knows, you just might find yourself in the pages of the book.
“Let’s make this a collaborative project! With love, Paul.”
