Ranking Roger - Wha'ppen

Sad news reached the Aid this week with the announcement that Two Tone legend Ranking Roger of The Beat had suffered a couple of strokes, was diagnosed with lung cancer and had a brain tumour (one of two) removed at the end of 2018. Blimey, talk about bad luck coming in threes eh? This all happened at a time when The Beat (Ranking Roger's version...there's another one in the US...it's complicated) were on the cusp of releasing and touring a brand new album too. Happily, as the interview above shows, Roger's determined to get back doing what he loves as soon as possible, in the meantime cop a load of the darn fine recent single Maniac.

All the best Roger.
