    It’s about time you wrote a song with the title “Who do we think we are” It’s almost 50 years since the record came out.

    Happy Birthday!

    Discovered Purple pretty late (mid 90´s), but what an inspiration you have been. In Rock sounds like an Apollo space launch! Incredible.

    Rock on!

    Dear Roger,
    a few days too late, I like to congratulate you to your birthday. I’m a Deep Purple fan for nearly 30 years. I have often see you live in Germany. You signed a lot of my records and you were always very friendly to the fans. We don’t forget this. I hope to see you live in 2021 when Covid is over. Please stay save and healthy!! Kind regards from Emsdetten in Northern Germany, Bernd Hidding

    Happy Birthday! Roger 🙂

    I was just talking to my brother re your music and – well – overall brilliant bloke status… and we’ve decided out of all the heroes from back in the day – you’d be the one musician we’d love to share a pint/glass of wine with! Here’s to many more birthday’s to come.

    On a slightly different note; my 9 year old daughter is currently in love with the Butterfly Ball – indeed, your legacy continues to inspire young and old alike 🙂

    Keep on trucking Roger.

    Best wishes for 2021

Wishing you to stay healthy, happy, energetic and inspired in the new year of your life. Hoping you can get back on the road next year or so, and we can all see you again along the way.

    Dear Roger,
    I truly hope that you and your family are healthy. I wish you many more years of creative music and art and I do hope that the Deep Purple concerts can take place in some way in 2021, we hold tickets for 8 gigs! When we attended last year to the fantastic concert in Sofia we had no idea it would take so long for the next concert to come!
    Happy Birthday, dear Roger! Don’t forget your fans!
    Your fan Heidi from Germany

    (2002 after show at Kipsala you gave us beer and vodka)
    and Vilnus (2002 you “poked” a guitar neck at me from stage),
    Katowice (2005 – I gave You a small gift few days after Your birthday- CD
    of Russian modern folk band), Kaunas (2006 with Ian and Steve
    you signed our photos of 2002 s 2005 our meetings).

    Dear Roger…
    I’ll try to keep this as short as possible, but I really have SO many things to say…
    I’m a 19 year-old fangirl from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and you are my favorite musician (and an artist as well, which really means so much to me, since I’m attending the Art Academy myself)… I had a chance to see you for the first time ever (which would be the dream come true) on October 13 this year, but this anmoying virus ruined the best opportunity I’ve ever had…
    Nonethless, I’ll never stop hoping for another chance to see you in person (and try not to pass out if I do 🙂 ), because it would be such a privilege to meet such a talented and kind person as you are…
    And, it would mean the world to me if you see this and tell me your opinion on this drawing I made of you, for your birthday:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    Dear Roger,
    today you’re reaching three quarters of Hundred – a proud age, I think. Have a nice day with all people, you love. I wish, you’ll be healthy during the next quarter (next 25 years). And I wish, that you’ll be creative in all artistic disciplines you did in the past also in future.
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
    Your Fan Hans-Jürgen Küsel from Northern Germany
