BRIAN MAY Pays Tribute To ROY THOMAS BAKER – “Thank You Roy, For All The Great Work You Did For Us, And All The Fun We Had”
 Brian May has paid tribute to British producer, Roy Thomas Baker, who passed away at 78 years of age on April 12, 2025 in Lake Havasu City, AZ. No cause of death has been confirmed.
Baker produced the first four Queen albums, including A Night At The Opera, which included the legendary single, “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
Brian May shared the following via Instagram:
“Very sad to hear of the passing of Roy Thomas Baker. Roy played a huge part in the production of so much Queen music in the early days. Photographs of Roy seem to be quite rare, but I was able to find these 3-D pictures of a trip that my then wife Chrissy and I made to visit Roy and his wife Barbara in their cottage in Norfolk. It must have been 1973. We went strawberry picking, and, as you can see, Roy was interested in the stereoscopic process, posing in a pile of wood for stereoscopic effect! I took the tennis picture at Ridge Farm, on a day when we were visited by some Japanese journalists from *Music Life* magazine.
“Roy was a part of our production team from the very beginning up to and including the album ‘A night at the Opera’. We then parted company for ‘A Day at the Races’, but reunited for the ‘Jazz’ album. Roy’s production contribution along with Mike Stone’s engineering for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ will never be forgotten.
“I regret slipping out of touch latterly with Roy. I suppose life moves at such a pace these days that we imagine there will be plenty of time to rekindle a friendship, and then suddenly one day it’s too late.
“Thank you, Roy for all the great work you did for us, and all the fun we had. Rest in Peace. Bri.”
Baker worked with many famed artists and albums, including Journey’s Infinity and Evolution, Foreigner’s Head Games, the soundtrack to Heavy Metal, four albums with The Cars, Ozzy Osbourne’s No Rest For The Wicked and Cheap Trick’s One On One.
During his tenure as Senior VP of A&R with Elektra Records in the ‘80s, he oversaw the signings of Metallica and 10,000 Maniacs.
Later on in his career he would oversee The Darkness’ One Way Ticket To Hell…And Back in 2005 and Smashing Pumpkins’ Zeitgeist in 2007.
