Paul Thompson (musician)




Fans nicknamed him "The Great Paul Thompson", due to his remarkable drumming skills and power. In 2001 he reunited with his fellow Roxy Music band members for a tour (excluding Brian Eno , who refrained from participating). He also toured with Bryan Ferry, supporting his ''Frantic'' album. The band, again with Paul on drumstool, were scheduled to perform again on 11 June 2005 at the Wight Festival. Rumours are circulating that the foursome including Eno have a new record on the way.

Drummer Roger Taylor of the Alternative Rock band Duran Duran says that Paul Thompson's drumming was big influence over his development.
