Queen Drummer Says Band Honed Harmonies in Cornwall Cave
Roger Taylor recalls how a seaside cave helped shape Queen's distinctive vocal sound
Queen drummer Roger Taylor has said the band perfected their trademark vocal harmonies inside a cave on a beach in Cornwall, according to the BBC.
Taylor made the remarks in comments reported by BBC Entertainment & Arts, describing the cave as a setting where the band worked on the layered vocal style that became a hallmark of their music.
Queen's harmonies, often built from multiple overdubbed vocal tracks, became one of the defining features of the band's sound across their career, featuring prominently in songs performed by Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Taylor and John Deacon.
The BBC report did not specify further details such as the exact location of the cave or the timeframe in which the sessions took place.
Further details of Taylor's comments were not immediately available.
