Supertramp’s Roger Hodgson tours to mark 40 years of Breakfast in America

“What a city,” Supertramp co-founder Roger Hodgson says, fondly recalling his visit to Perth six years ago on a solo tour.

“I’ve been there once but, blimey, it was such a unique place. I really wanted to stay and peek underneath the surface. It was great.”

Supertramp’s only tour of Australia in 1976 skipped WA, not that it would have mattered for Hodgson, who remembers virtually nothing of that visit.

“I’ve got to be honest,” the 68-year-old Brit says from his adopted home in northern California. “Very little.”

While Hodgson left the English progressive rock giants in 1983 and moved his young family away from the Los Angeles music scene, he has spent the past two decades playing Supertramp hits under his own name.

The father-of-two returns to Australia in February on a tour that will coincide with the 40th anniversary of his band’s sixth and biggest selling album, Breakfast in America.

Hodgson wrote five songs, including The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home and the title track, on the 1979 classic, which remains the perfect postcard of Supertramp’s love of symphonic Beatles-inspired pop with lashings of Wurlitzer electric piano, clavinets, clarinets and other instruments rarely found in the rock arsenal.

“I’m still singing the songs I wrote from the album,” he says, “and I never get tired of them. It did capture an amazing spirit and really has stood the test of time very well. I sing these songs 80, 90 times a year and I’m still loving them to death.”

Breakfast in America is testament to the time and energy Supertramp, and especially Hodgson, put into making the album for eight intense months in 1978.

The multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and arranger spent the final few weeks sleeping in Studio B of the Village Recorder in west LA.

I sing these songs 80, 90 times a year and I’m still loving them to death. Roger Hodgson

“I couldn’t let it go,” Hodgson says. “I’m like that. I knew it was a fantastic collection of songs. I felt it would do well, but I did not realise it would do quite as well as it did.”

Breakfast in America topped charts around the world, including Australia where it was the highest selling album of 1979. The album spawned four hit singles, including Goodbye Stranger sung by co-founder Rick Davies, and sold 4 million copies in the US alone.

“I think all that care and passion paid off because the songs really have stood up through the years,” Hodgson says. “If the balance between the instruments was wrong the whole feel of the songs wouldn’t work. Only I knew how it needed to be.”

The late 70s were a fertile period for the prolific Hodgson, whose wife Karuna was pregnant with their first child while Breakfast in America was gestating.

“We had a motorhome, a trailer, so I pulled that down to the studio and parked it outside,” he recalls.

“(My wife) was outside the studio while I was working. I’m not sure if I slept in the studio or just went out to the motorhome and slept, then went back to the studio in the morning. It was pretty manic.”

Hodgson drove that motorhome across the US on Supertramp’s 1979 tour. His daughter Heidi was born in the vehicle moments before the band were due to go on stage in San Diego.

“It was an exciting time,” Hodgson says. “There was a lot going on back then.”

The softly spoken Englishman says he still talks to Davies, 74, who has battled cancer since being diagnosed in 2015 on the eve of a Supertramp tour (without Hodgson).

“He’s been very sick, so we have been in touch,” Hodgson says. “There’s a very strong bond there because of what we went through and what we created, so that’ll always be there.”

But, there’s no chance of a reunion.

“I really don’t see that happening, no. I think that boat has sailed,” he says. “I’m not averse to that but Rick is not particularly well and I think his touring days are over.”

Besides, Hodgson’s solo tours are going gangbusters — his well-drilled five-piece band are due to play five nights at L’Olympia in Paris and two at London’s Royal Albert Hall this year.

He loves seeing generations of fans singing along to The Logical Song or Supertramp’s other hits, such as Give a Little Bit, Dreamer or It’s Raining Again.

“I don’t know about you but I never went to a concert with my dad,” Hodgson laughs. “It’s amazing to have made music that brings entire families together.”

I think all that care and passion paid off because the songs really have stood up through the years. Roger Hodgson

After leaving the UK more than 40 years ago, Hodgson says he misses the English sense of humour but he still prefers his breakfast in America.

“I landed in California at age 24 and I just fell in love with it — the spirit, the people, the openness, the weather, the space, the progressive thinking, the healthy food...

“Coming from England, it was like landing on a different planet. It was exactly what I needed to redefine myself.”

Roger Hodgson plays the Riverside Theatre on February 4. Tickets from Ticketek.

SUPERTRAMP’S Roger Hodgson – Australian Tour Announcement & 40 years of Breakfast in America

‘Breakfast in America’ was the  #1 album of 1979 in the Australian charts,  holding the top spot for six weeks and reaching gold status above  Rod Stewart, The Bee Gees, ELO  and so many other household names. With hits like  “ The Logical Song “ ,  “ Breakfast in America ”  and  “ Take The Long Way Home ”  – all penned and performed by Roger Hodgson – the album sold over 20 million copies worldwide, and made  Supertramp  a staple of every radio station and turntable for years to come. Though, it was Roger’s 1974 hit  “ Dreamer “ and 1977s  “ Give A Little Bit ”  that first called the world to the magic of his introspective lyrics and upbeat melodies.

“The Roger Hodgson setlist reads like a history of music. If you were ever a fan of Supertramp then attending a Roger Hodgson concert these days is as good as it gets and it gets good.” –  Paul Cashmere, Undercover

Born in Portsmouth, England, Roger spent much of his childhood at boarding school where his guitar became his best friend. From the age of twelve he began writing songs and added piano, bass, drums and cello to his musical abilities. After his final school year he recorded his first studio single “Mr. Boyd” with a session band including pianist Reg Dwight, later to be known as  Elton John .

Not long after, Roger co-founded  Supertramp . Their first self-titled album was released in 1970 and followed on with four studio albums, including the breakthrough hit-song “Dreamer” on the album ‘Crime of the Century’ in 1974, and of course the incredible success of “Breakfast in America” released in 1979.

In 1983 – after the release of “Famous Last Words” and a massive stadium tour – Roger parted ways with  Supertramp  to follow his heart and pursue a simpler lifestyle, raising his family close to nature and honing his spirituality. With a renewed slower pace Roger released three solo albums, collaborated with  Ringo Starr  in his  All Starr Band , performed at the 2007  Concert for Princess Diana  at Wembley Stadium and continued to compose music and write lyrics in his state-of-the-art home studio. Only when his children were fully grown did Roger feel the call to tour regularly again. He was met with an ever-strong fanbase and consistently sold-out theatres and arenas worldwide.

Marking the 40th anniversary of ‘Breakfast in America’,  Roger Hodgson  returns to “Give A Little Bit” of his magical song writing and showmanship to Australian audiences. Proudly presented by  Bluesfest Touring .

Supertramp  are an English rock band formed in 1969 under the name Daddy before renaming themselves in early 1970. Though their music was initially categorised as  progressive rock , they have since incorporated a combination of traditional  rock ,  pop  and  art rock  into their music. The band's work is marked by the songwriting of  Rick Davies  and  Roger Hodgson , the voice of Hodgson, and the use of  Wurlitzer electric piano  and saxophone in their songs.

While the band's early work was mainstream progressive rock, they would enjoy greater critical [1 ] [2 ]  and commercial success when they incorporated more conventional and radio-friendly elements into their work in the mid-1970s, going on to sell more than 60 million albums. [3 ] [4 ] [5 ] [6 ]  They reached their peak of commercial success with 1979's  Breakfast in America , which has sold more than 20 million copies. [7 ] [8 ]

Though their albums were generally far more successful than their singles, [9 ]  Supertramp did enjoy a number of major hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including " Bloody Well Right ", " Give a Little Bit ", " The Logical Song ", " Goodbye Stranger ", " Take the Long Way Home ", " Dreamer ", " Breakfast in America ", " It's Raining Again ", and " Cannonball ". The band attained significant popularity in the United States, Canada, Europe, South Africa and Australia. Since Hodgson's departure in 1983, founder Rick Davies has led the band by himself.

History [ edit ] [ ]

1969–72: early years [ edit ] [ ].

In 1969 Stanley 'Sam' August Miesegaes, a Dutch millionaire, became disappointed with, then dropped, The Joint, the band he was financially supporting. He offered Swindon -born keyboardist  Rick Davies , whose talent he felt had been "bogged down" by the group, [10 ]  an opportunity to form his own band, again with Miesegaes's financial backing. [11 ]  Davies assembled  Roger Hodgson  (bass and vocals),  Richard Palmer  (guitars), and  Keith Baker  (percussion) after placing an advertisement in the weekly music newspaper,  Melody Maker .

Davies and Hodgson had radically different backgrounds and musical inspirations: Davies was working class and fiercely devoted to  blues  and  jazz , while Hodgson had gone straight from private school to the music business and was fond of  pop  and  psychedelia . Despite this, they hit it off during the auditions [12 ]  and began writing virtually all of their songs together, with Palmer as a third writer in the mix. Since none of the other band members was willing, Palmer penned all their lyrics. [13 ]

The group initially dubbed themselves Daddy. Baker was almost immediately replaced by former stage actor Robert Millar, [14 ]  and after several months of rehearsal at a country house in  West Hythe , Kent, the band flew to  Munich  for a series of concerts at the P. N. Club. [15 ]  One 10 minute performance there of " All Along The Watchtower " was filmed by  Haro Senft  ( Supertramp Portrait 1970 ). [16 ]  The rehearsals had been less than productive, and their initial repertoire consisted of only four songs, two of which were covers. [15 ]  To avoid confusion with the similarly named  Daddy Longlegs , [15 ]  the band changed its name to "Supertramp", a moniker inspired by  The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp  by  William Henry Davies . [17 ]

[1] [2] Supertramp Mark II. L-R: Roger Hodgson, Frank Farrell, Rick Davies, Kevin Currie, and Dave Winthrop.

Supertramp were one of the first groups to be signed to the UK branch of  A&M Records  and their first album,  Supertramp , was released on 14 July 1970 in the UK and Canada (it would not be issued in the US until late 1977). Stylistically, the album was fairly typical of progressive rock of the era and Supertramp's sound bore obvious similarity to their British progressive rock predecessor  Cressida . [ citation needed ]  Despite receiving a good deal of critical praise, the album did not attract a large audience. [15 ]

Dave Winthrop ( flute  and saxophone) joined the group after the release of the first record and soon after Supertramp performed at the  1970 Isle of Wight Festival . The membership continued to change in the six months following the album's release; Palmer left the band due to personality conflicts with Davies and Hodgson, [13 ] [15 ]  followed by Millar, who had suffered a nervous breakdown following a disastrous tour of Norway. [9 ]

For the next album,  Indelibly Stamped , released in June 1971 in both the UK and US,  Frank Farrell  (bass) and Kevin Currie (percussion) replaced Palmer and Millar, while Hodgson switched to guitar and Davies served as a second lead singer. With Palmer's departure, Hodgson and Davies wrote the lyrics for this and the band's subsequent albums. The record sold even less than their debut. [9 ]  In the aftermath, all members gradually quit except Hodgson and Davies, [18 ]  and Miesegaes withdrew his financial support in October 1972. [15 ]

1973–78: Initial success and commercial breakthrough [ edit ] [ ]

A search for new members brought aboard  Dougie Thomson  (bass), who had done stand-in gigs with the band for almost a year before auditions resumed. In 1973, auditions restarted and introduced  Bob Siebenberg  (initially credited as Bob C. Benberg; drums & percussion) and  John Helliwell  (saxophone, other  woodwinds , occasional keyboards, backing vocals), completing the line-up. Hodgson would also begin playing keyboards (particularly the  Wurlitzer electric piano ) in the band in addition to guitar. [18 ]  This lineup of Supertramp would remain in place for the next ten years.

Meanwhile, the bond between Davies and Hodgson had begun weakening. In July 1972 Hodgson had tried  LSD  for the first time, and offered some to Davies, who declined. Writing to Miesegaes in November 1972, Hodgson described taking LSD as "the happiest day of my life" and expressed his anxiety that Davies would not take it. [15 ]  He would later describe this divergence in their experiences as the root of the rift between them. [19 ]  Over Supertramp's history, their relationship would be amicable but increasingly distant as their lifestyles and musical inclinations saw less and less overlap. Their songwriting partnership gradually dissolved; though all of Supertramp's songs would continue to be officially credited as "written by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson", most of them were written by Davies or Hodgson individually.

Supertramp needed a hit record to continue working, and finally got one with  Crime of the Century . Released in September 1974, it began the group's run of critical and commercial successes, hitting number 4 in Britain, [20 ]  number 38 in the USA, and number 1 in Canada. The album underlined its ambitiousness: Many of its songs were heavily orchestrated, and some even featured Davies and Hodgson singing in dialogue, such as the 1975 UK Top 20 single " Dreamer ". US listeners preferred its  B-side , " Bloody Well Right ", which hit the US Top 40 in May 1975 and would be their only hit in the country for more than two years. [21 ]  Most of the band have said they feel they hit their artistic peak on this album, [ citation needed ]  though their greatest commercial success would come later.

With a hit album under their belt, pressures on the band increased, and the followup  Crisis? What Crisis?  had to be recorded in the few months between two scheduled concert tours. As a consequence, most of the material consisted of leftover songs from  Crime of the Century , and decades later the band would continue to regard the album as one of their worst moments. [22 ] [23 ]  Despite Supertramp's own misgivings, the album was well received by critics, and when released in November 1975, it broke both the UK Top Twenty [20 ]  and the USA Top Fifty in spite of its singles all being commercial flops.

The following album,  Even in the Quietest Moments... , released in April 1977, spawned a hit single with " Give a Little Bit " (no. 15 US, no. 29 UK). As usual, the popularity of the album itself eclipsed that of its singles, and  Even in the Quietest Moments...  hit no. 16 in the USA [24 ]  and no. 12 in the UK. [20 ]  During this period, the band eventually relocated to the United States.

1979–88: Superstardom [ edit ] [ ]

The band's switch to a more pop-oriented approach peaked with their most popular album,  Breakfast in America , released in March 1979, which reached number 3 in the UK [20 ]  and number 1 in the United States and Canada and spawned four successful  singles  (more than their first five albums combined): " The Logical Song " (no. 6 U.S., no. 7 U.K.), " Goodbye Stranger " (no. 15 U.S., no. 57 U.K.), " Take the Long Way Home " (no. 10 U.S.), and " Breakfast in America " (no. 9 U.K.). In March 1979, the group embarked on a 10 month 120 date tour for  Breakfast In America  that required 52 tons of gear, 10 miles of cable, $5 million worth of equipment and a 40 man crew. [ citation needed ]  The tour broke all previous concert attendance records in Europe and Canada. Upon this tour's conclusion, the exhausted band members decided to take a rest from touring and recording for a while, though the band remained ongoing.

This run of successes was capped with 1980's  Paris , a 2-LP live album recorded mostly at the  Pavillon de Paris . [25 ]  It broke the top ten in both the USA and UK. [26 ] [20 ]  The live version of "Dreamer" was released as a single in the U.S., where it reached no. 15, even though the studio version had failed to even chart there. [21 ]

At this point, Hodgson moved his family from the Los Angeles area to the mountains of northern California where he built a home and studio and focused on his family and spiritual life, while recording a solo album, Sleeping with the Enemy , which would never be released. [27 ]  This geographic separation widened the rift between him and the rest of the group; during the conceptualization and recording of their next album, ...Famous Last Words... , Davies and Hodgson found far greater difficulty in reconciling their musical ideas than they had before, and it was apparent to the rest of the band that Hodgson wanted out. [27 ]   ...Famous Last Words...  was released in 1982, and scored two more hits with " It's Raining Again " and " My Kind of Lady ". It peaked at no. 5 in the USA [28 ]  and no. 6 in the UK. [20 ]  A worldwide tour followed in 1983, during which Hodgson announced he would not be continuing with the band. Hodgson has stated that his departure was motivated by a desire to spend more time with his family and make solo recordings, and that there were never any real personal or professional problems between him and Davies, as some people thought. [9 ]

The Davies-led Supertramp soldiered on to continued success, releasing  Brother Where You Bound  in 1985. The album was a deliberate step away from the pop approach of their last two studio albums, [29 ]  and reached no. 20 in the UK charts [20 ]  and no. 21 in the US charts. [21 ]  It included the Top 30 hit single " Cannonball ", along with the title track, a 16-minute exposition on  Cold War  themes highlighted by guitar solos from  Pink Floyd 's  David Gilmour .

1987's   Free as a Bird  experimented in heavily synthesised music, [30 ]  such as " I'm Beggin' You ", which reached number 1 on the  US dance charts . [31 ]  The stylistic change was generally not well-received, however, and the album itself reached only no. 93 in the UK and 101 in the USA, breaking a streak of seven consecutive top 100 efforts on the American charts.

In addition to their shift towards less commercially-oriented material, the band members decided to drop all of Hodgson's compositions from their setlist in order to further establish an identity separate from Hodgson. [29 ]  However, audiences were angered by the omissions of these songs, and though Supertramp toured again in 1985 using only Davies's compositions, in 1988 the pressure of their first Brazilian tour drove them to reintroduce a handful of Hodgson-penned hits to their set. [32 ]

After 1988's tour, the group fragmented. Davies later explained, "We'd been out there for about 20 years just recording and touring and it seemed time to have a break with no ideas as to if or when we would come back. We decided not to actually say anything, just sort of  fade away like an old soldier ." [33 ]

1996–2009: Later years [ edit ] [ ]

In 1996 Davies re-formed Supertramp with Helliwell, Siebenberg and guitarist/vocalist  Mark Hart , who was new to the official lineup but had prominently contributed to  Free as a Bird  and its supporting tour. Four new members were added as well, bringing the band up to an eight-man lineup. [30 ]  The result of this reunion was  Some Things Never Change , an album that echoed the earlier Supertramp sound, [34 ] [30 ]  released in March 1997. It reached no. 74 in the UK. [20 ]

In the summer of 1997, Supertramp returned to the road, resulting in the live  It Was the Best of Times  (1999), followed by  Slow Motion  in April 2002 and a 2002 worldwide tour, after which the band went inactive once again. Another attempt to bring Hodgson back into the band failed in 2005. [35 ]

Supertramp continued to play several Hodgson-penned songs during live shows following their reunion. Hodgson subsequently claimed that the band's explanation for dropping his compositions from their setlist back in 1983 is a lie, and that the real reason was that he and Davies made a verbal agreement that they would not play those songs. [8 ] [32 ]  Davies has never publicly alluded to such an agreement, and former member Dougie Thomson has commented "Nobody except Rick and Roger were privy to that conversation. Rick and Roger had several dialogues that no one else was privy to. Again, that's hearsay." [32 ]

In 2008 it was announced that Supertramp's music would be featured in the film adaptation of  Irvine Welsh 's best-selling novel  Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance . [36 ]  In 2009 Hodgson said he could not see a Supertramp reunion ever happening: "We've looked at it and talked it over... I would never say never but Rick [Davies] has pretty much retired right now and I'm in the prime of my life. The reaction I am getting from fans is 'please don’t reunite'." [37 ]

2010–present: Re-formation [ edit ] [ ]

[3] [4] Supertramp 2010. L-R: Cliff Hugo, Rick Davies, Bob Siebenberg, John Helliwell, Gabe Dixon, and Carl Verheyen

On 21 April 2010 it was announced [38 ]  that Supertramp would give 35 concerts in late 2010. Dates were announced for concerts in Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy, France and other European countries. This tour called "70-10" was to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the group's first release.

Roger Hodgson embarked on a solo 2010 tour to Australia, New Zealand, South America, Europe, Canada, and the US, [39 ]  and thus was unable to rejoin the band for the 70-10 tour. However, in response to a fan campaign, Hodgson sent a letter to Rick Davies and had his manager send one to Davies' management, offering to join them for select dates during gaps in his tour schedule. [40 ] [8 ]  Davies did not reply, but his agents notified Hodgson that his offer was declined. [8 ]

In 2011 both Hodgson and Supertramp continued to tour separately. [41 ] [42 ]  When asked whether Roger Hodgson might appear on some of the 2011 dates Davies replied, "I know there are some fans out there who would like that to happen. There was a time when I had hoped for that too. But the recent past makes that impossible. In order to play a great show for our fans, you need harmony, both musically and personally. Unfortunately that doesn’t exist between us any more and I would rather not destroy memories of more harmonious times between all of us." [43 ]

Supertramp’s Roger Hodgson Announces Australian Tour Dates

Supertramp’s Roger Hodgson , will play Thebarton Theatre on Feb 6th as part of his world tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of rock’s all time biggest albums, Breakfast in America . As both singer and songwriter, Roger’s songs are timeless, and his mesmerising performances continue to connect in powerful ways to fans globally.

Breakfast in America was the #1 album of 1979 in the Australian charts, holding the top spot for six weeks, sold over 20 million copies worldwide, cemented Supertramp as one of the most iconic bands of all time and spawned hits such as The Logical Song , Breakfast in America and Take The Long Way Home .

Roger Hodgson’s incredible songwriting however came to the fore several years prior with the ageless classics Dreamer and Give A Little Bit that first called the world to the magic of his introspective lyrics and upbeat melodies.

“I’m thrilled to bring Supertramp’s Roger Hodgson to Adelaide to celebrate an iconic album that is as beloved today as ever. This will be a magical night under the stars in Thebarton Theatre and one of those ‘must see’ events. Ticket demand will be high so I’d suggest people get in fast to secure their seats” said Phil Rankine from Space Events.

Born in Portsmouth, England, Roger spent much of his childhood at boarding school where his guitar became his best friend. From the age of twelve he began writing songs and added piano, bass, drums and cello to his musical abilities. After his final school year he recorded his first studio single “Mr. Boyd” with a session band including pianist Reg Dwight, later to be known as Elton John.

Not long after, Roger co-founded Supertramp. Their first self-titled album was released in 1970 and followed on with four studio albums, including the breakthrough hit-song Dreamer on the album Crime of the Century in 1974, and of course the incredible success of Breakfast in America released in 1979.

In 1983 – after the release of Famous Last Words and a massive stadium tour – Roger parted ways with Supertramp to follow his heart and pursue a simpler lifestyle, raising his family close to nature and honing his spirituality. With a renewed slower pace Roger released three solo albums, collaborated with Ringo Starr in his All Starr Band, performed at the 2007 Concert for Princess Diana at Wembley Stadium and continued to compose music and write lyrics in his state-of-the-art home studio. Only when his children were fully grown did Roger feel the call to tour regularly again. He was met with an ever-strong fan base and consistently sold-out theatres and arenas worldwide.

Rock And Roll Garage

Why roger hodgson left supertramp and they never reunited.

Supertramp was formed in 1970 by the singers, songwriters and multi-intrumentalists Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, releasing their self-titled debut album in the same year. That record was followed by “Indelibly Stamped” (1971),”Crime of The Century” (1974), “Crisis? What Crisis?” (1975) and Even in the Quietest Moments… (1977). All of those albums had important songs and hits like “School”, “Dreamer, “Give a Little Bit” and “Bloody Well Right”.

But they really went to another level with the release of “Breakfast in America” (1979), which still is their best-selling record. Packed with hits, that album peaked at number one on the charts of several countries, including the United States Billboard 200. It also represented a a change in the band’s songwriting. It was a more commercial sound, not being much focused on concept albums or long Progressive Rock songs.

Three years later, in 1982, the follow-up “…Famous Last Words…” was released, with a title that reflected the band’s future. Roger Hodgson decided to leave the group and it was their final album with him. But why left the band and they never reunited?

Roger Hogdson and Rick Davies were the songwriters of the band and worked successfully together for 14 years. But it was after “Breakfast In America” that things started to change. With the success of the album, Hodgson believed they should try to write more music that could be more commercial and less complicated like it was before. However, Rick Davies wanted to return to the idea of concept albums and long songs. So it was the start of the disagreements between the two songwriters of the group.

“…Famous Last Words…” was a really difficult album for the band to make since there was no unity anymore. Many good songs that ended up on Roger’s first solo album and on Supertramp’s next album were not used on that record. Hodgson particularly didn’t like the result of that final album he did with the band. He said that the best songs weren’t used because there was really no unity in the band anymore. According to him, that was crucial to make it sound good.

The lack of unity within the band allied with the fact that Roger became a father and had two young babies at home made him decide to leave the band. He wanted to spent more time with his family and learn how to be a good father, so he left the group after their 1983 tour, released his solo album “In the Eye of the Storm” in 1984, the follow up “Hai Hai” In 1987 and really left the music industry for more than a decade.

Being with his family was also one of the reasons why Roger Hodgson left Supertramp

He talked about leaving the band  in an interview with Wabana Media in 2023 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage), When asked what family meant to him, he explained that it was one of the reasons why he decided to leave Supertramp too.

“In 1983, when I left Supertramp, it was definitely a time where I was following my heart. I was suddenly looking at two very small babies and thinking: ‘Wow, I’ve got to stop and learn to how to be a parent and a father’. I didn’t really have a clue, if I had continued touring and making albums with Supertramp it’s not gonna work. I’ve got the message loud and clear that I had to stop and really almost leave the music industry.”

“Which I did, I left Los Angeles and went up into Northern California where I built a home for my kids and family. I really didn’t tour for about 16, 17, 18 years but looking back now I’m very, very glad I did, because I don’t have any regrets. My family stayed together, my kids are in good shape, I don’t have any regrets myself that I wasn’t there (for them),” Roger Hodgson said.

There was an agreement between Roger and Rick that wasn’t honored

“…Famous Last Words…” was a really difficult album to make and the band knew it was going to be the final one with Hogdson. As he told Rock Antenne in 2015, he and Rick agreed with the name of the album and that they would no longer continue writing together. Roger also said that giving the name of the band to Rick was one of the foolish things he ever did.

He felt that his songs stood the test of time better than Rick’s. So it was much more difficult for him later to let people know that it was actually him who wrote most of their big hits. The verbal agreement they had at the time was that Rick could continue with the name of the band if they didn’t perform the tracks written by Hodgson. By doing that Hodgson would keep the rights to his songs. That deal was honored for a few years until Rick started to use Hodgson’s songs again during their live concerts. As Hodgson told Daily Mail in 2010, it was the need to sell tickets that made Supertramp start using his songs again.

“That is the truth of it. Rick wanted to put bums on seats. My songs have turned out to be timeless. Songs like ‘Dreamer’ come from a pure place – especially when life for so many people is very difficult right now. Supertramp is a brand name and a trademark owned by Rick. But fans want to hear the songs sung by the man who wrote them,” Roger Hodgson said.

The Supertramp reunions without Roger Hodgson

Since then there were many attempts to bring the classic line-up together but all of them failed. The reason mainly because of the fights they had over the years and their managements. Without Rogers they released the albums “Brother Where You Bound” (1985), “Free as a Bird” (1987). They entered a hiatus from 1988 to 1996 and released “Some Things Never Change” (1997) and “Slow Motion” (2002).

In 2002 the group went into another hiatus and in 2005, Dougie Thomson (Bass – member from 1972 to 1988), Bob Siebenberg (Drums) and John Helliwell (Saxophones and more) sued Rick Davies to demand him to share the control over the rights to the band’s catalog from 1974 to 1983. They won the court case and in 2010 they reunited with Davies again to perform as Supertramp, in a reunion (Without Roger) that lasted until 2012.

During that last reunion of the band, Roger Hodgson criticized them. Because the band was using his songs on radio and TV ads to promote the shows. As he told Daily Mail in 2010, he felt like the fans were being cheated.

‘There is a big difference between imitating someone and being the authentic artist who wrote the song. They’re singing my songs and using radio ads with my voice to sell the tickets. I have had so many fans writing to me regarding this,” Roger Hodgson said.

According to Roger, it’s Rick who was making the reunion difficult to happen

As Roger told Wabana Media in 2023 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage), it was his former bandmate Rick Davies that was making the possibility of a reunion to be difficult. He noted that he would be the first one to accept the deal for a reunion.

“I don’t know, unfortunately Ricky Boy is making it very difficult (a reunion). I mean, I would love, I would be the first, I’m a huge fan of Rick’s songs obviously. He was my partner for 14 years and forgiveness… I don’t hang on to grudges or anything, I’m not like that. But I do believe that to even a man of peace, which I am, when you see (something wrong) you need to speak up.”

“What I’m really speaking up is the fans who are maybe misinformed. (Because they might go to) a Supertramp show expecting to see me. That’s how the show was advertised, with my voice on the radio. So I don’t like that. I don’t like seeing the fans disappointed. Because really we all lived a very blessed life because of the fans support and love,” Roger Hodgson said.

In 2015 he even told ABC Valencia , that he made an offer to Rick when Supertramp announced their reunion five years before. “In 2010, because I knew how much fans wanted it, I made an offer to Rick Davies and his agent. (The offer was) to bring the band to some special reunion concerts for the 40th anniversary tour. But Rick declined.”

“So I think that the time for a reunion has passed. And for me it is not important; Supertramp was a great band and an adventure that ended 32 years ago. Now it’s just a brand owned by Rick Davies,” Roger Hodgson said.

Still is difficult to let people know that he was the one who wrote most of Supertramp’s hits

The musician started touring again in 1995 and his third and most recent solo album “Open The Door” was released in 2000. Since then the musician has been touring the world, usually advertising his concerts as “the voice of Supertramp”. In the interview with Wabana Media in 2023 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage), he recalled how difficult it has been to let fans know that he was the one who wrote and sang most of the band’s hits.

“The challenges I’ve had actually was letting people know that the songs and the voice that they’ve been listening for 30, 40 years now is my voice. Because these songs are so established with the name Supertramp that many people don’t know who Roger Hodgson is. As I go over the world, so many people come in the shows and go ‘Oh my God, that’s the voice! Those are the songs that I’ve been listening to.”

He continued:

“It’s a lesson to me (since) I gave away the name Supertramp. I’ve put 14 years of my life into then I stopped touring for 17 years. So it’s really miraculous that I could comeback.”

During the same conversation he lamented that he gave the name of the band to Rick. “I know who I was in Supertramp. I was not just the singer-songwriter, I was the passionate, producer, the arranger. (So) I did a lot within Supertramp but I never wanted the credit for it. It was all about Supertramp. So it was very difficult leaving Supertramp and giving the Supertramp name to Rick. Probably one of the most foolish things I ever done,” Roger Hodgson said.

Supertramp has been inactive since 2012. They would tour again in 2015 but the shows were canceled after Davies was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The group has sold an estimated amount of more than 60 million records worldwide.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG

‘Only a shadow’: Grim sign in King Charles and Queen Camilla’s tour

The King and Queen Camilla are finally in Australia – but their big smiles and hearty waves to the crown hide a very stark reality.

Thursday, February 11, 1954: A tree planting beside a bridge in Wollongong.

Tuesday, February 23, 1954: An informal lunch at the Burnie Chamber of Commerce. Wednesday, March 3, 1954: An inspection of whatever the hell an “open cut brown coal field” is. (Look away Greta, look away).

When the young, freshly crowned Queen turned up in Australia in 1954, it was for the unholy length of 58 days. She visited 57 towns and cities in just under two months, from Cairns to Broken Hill to Hobart. She addressed 107,000 schoolchildren and kept going through a polio outbreak such that she could only eat on board a naval vessel moored off the West Australian coast.

The stamina, the dedication, the ladylike shoe leather.

On Friday night, her son and heir King Charles landed in the country, and his numbers, his statistics, his runs on the board? They are not good.

Oh yes, the King has and will laugh and smile and give us all the bonhomie, all the modern-day merry monarch imagery retirees the length and breadth of the nation might be hankering after (phwoar, did you see his lack of bunions?)

But the figures? The data? They tell a much starker story.

True: Charles is nearly 76 and is obviously battling cancer . However, with he and wife Queen Camilla and their travelling blood supplies “in country”, there is no avoiding the cold, hard truth of his program.

Their Majesties are on Aussie soil for just four full days, with one whole day set aside purely for rest, and the King undertaking events in only two cities.

On Sunday, the King was only scheduled to be “on” for 130 minutes. There are no events planned after 5pm on any day. No night-time receptions, and no events outside New South Wales, aside from a quick daytime dash to Canberra.

This is not a criticism, merely an observation that this trip looks and feels distinctly different to previous ones.

Perhaps the most telling detail from the King’s program is the timing.

On Sunday, his working day started at 10.30am at a Sydney church service before a 12.40pm meeting with a couple of stiff dignitaries.

His longest day, Monday, will see Their Majesties descend on the capital for a fast and furious dash from the War Memorial to Parliament House to Yarralumla to the Botanic Gardens. Whiplash, anyone?

Tuesday’s schedule will start very late in the morning and will conclude with a final naval thingamy, no seamen jokes anyone, around afternoon tea time.

The whole thing is compressed, abbreviated and trimmed.

The mood music out of London ahead of this southerly excursion has been clear – this is a “limited” tour given the King’s continued treatment for cancer. But no amount of big regal smiles and affable waving at the crowds of Rotary members lined up near the Opera House can change the underlying fact that this tour is only a shadow of what a royal overseas jaunt usually looks like.

The last time that Charles and Camilla, the First Couple of dog-hair strewn furniture, were in our part of the world was in 2018 for the Commonwealth Games, during which they clocked up 19 engagements in three days.

The trip before that, in 2015, they managed to do 31 events across Adelaide, Canberra, Sydney, Albany and Perth in under five days.

Or take Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were in Australia, coincidentally, at exactly this time in 2018. They notched up 76 official outings over 14 days – and while the duchess was pregnant with their son Prince Archie.

In 2014, it was Prince William and Kate, now the Prince and Princess of Wales’ turn to find out if the toilets really do flush in reverse here.

They totted up 23 engagements over nine days in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Uluru, and all with a baby Prince George in tow.

You see my point here.

Ever since February 5, when Buckingham Palace shocked the sensible pants off the world with the news that the King had cancer, there has been a peculiar sort of multiple personality disorder going on in London.

On one hand, the King has been remarkably, and some might say, naively open about owning his diagnosis, sharing regular updates (well, of a certain opaque variety), showing his support for fellow sufferers by visiting a cancer treatment centre and revealing that messages of goodwill and support had “reduced me to tears”.

And yet on the other, there has been a certain amount of acting as if. Acting as if Charles is just a regular, garden-variety 75-year-old King with receptions to host and medium-sized industrial cities to visit. He has plugged on with the business of sitting on the throne, including presiding over the State opening of parliament, as if he is fighting, fiddly-dee fit and isn’t on first name terms, I’m guessing, with his oncology nurses.

This dissociative dualism, if you will, has by and large worked – until now. But what these tour numbers throw up is the undeniable truth – that this horrible cancer of his has and will continue to slow him down and rudely curtail his ability to be the go get ‘em sort of King he clearly wants to be.

When this trip to the Pacific was first mooted PC (pre-cancer), it was meant to be a much more meaningful one, including not only Australia and Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, where he will head next, but also Fiji and New Zealand.

Those latter legs have long been axed and you would have to think, having flown 44 hours there and back, that the King would have ideally liked to spend more time on Australian soil than 111 hours – and then only venturing out to meet actual Australians during very civilised, if not constrained, daylight hours.

More of this lies ahead.

November will see the annual COP climate conference take place in Baku, Azerbaijan and Charles is obviously a longtime passionate environmentalist, having been flying the climate flag since the days when it was just the province of the nut loaf-eating, sandal-wearing crowd. Last year, the King gave the opening COP address in Kuwait. This COP, Charles won’t be there. The reason given by the Palace for him staying home is, according to the Daily Beast , that His Majesty will only have “recently” returned to the UK from Australia and Samoa – yet there will be a full two weeks between his arrival back in Britain and the start of COP.

The Beast’s Tom Sykes says that this rationale “suggests that the King’s family and aides will be encouraging the King … to take plenty of time to recuperate” and “will also stoke fears that the King is more seriously ill than his office are saying”.

More Coverage

At least his wife is happy with this outcome, with a friend of the couple having told Sykes: “Camilla will be pleased he is not going straight off to Azerbaijan. She didn’t particularly want him to go to Australia, and she will be encouraging him to take it easy once he gets back – never an easy task.”

And at least no one made her, as they did with her late mother-in-law, spend an afternoon viewing brown coal. Monarchy is really not a pretty business.

First look at King Charles’ new royal carriage

Australian master craftsman Jim Frecklington has been making royal carriages for decades. His latest creation has been unveiled as he shares the special bond he feels with King Charles.

King opens up about cancer to Aussie

Aussies have had a chance to meet the king and queen in their first public appearance of the royal tour, revealing to news.com.au what they had to say.

Protests as fans swarm royals in Sydney

King Charles has issued a heartwarming message to Australians on his renewed love for the country, as the Royals’ tour continues.

Here's Why King Charles and Queen Camilla Traveled to Australia for Royal Tour Separately

The royal couple started their whirlwind trip on different flights.

King Charles and Queen Camilla had two very different travel plans at the start of their royal tour of Australia and Samoa.

On Friday, Oct. 18, the royal couple arrived in Sydney, Australia, appearing together during a formal welcome. However, as People reports , the pair left London, England on separate flights—and for a very specific reason.

According to the outlet, Court Circular —the official record of royal engagements—notes that King Charles departed London on Oct. 17 sans Queen Camilla, whose name does not appear on the record alongside her husband's.

The Queen, People reports, left separately and, unlike the King, enjoyed a private vacation in-between stops to help ease her reported and well-known fear of flying.

"Queen Camilla is said to have a fear of flying and has previously departed early for royal tours, breaking up the trips with a stop at a favorite spa," People reports. "The Queen is known to go to the Soukya holistic health center near Bangalore, India, a residential medical institute focused on 'healing, prevention or rejuvenation' through naturopathy, homeopathy, yoga, Ayurveda and more."

King Charles III And Queen Camilla arrive at Sydney Airport for their official welcome on October 18, 2024 in Sydney, Australia.

The trip kicks off a nine-day tour of Australia and Samoa—the first tour of a Commonwealth since Charles became King following the death of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth. The whirlwind trip is also the most significant work trip King Charles has taken since announcing he was diagnosed with an unspecified type of cancer earlier this year in February.

As Marie Claire previously reported, the monarch has paused his chemotherapy treatments during the length of the royal tour, traveling instead with two doctors who will help monitor his health and wellness during the visit.

"He will pause the cancer treatment he has been having since February," the Times reported , adding that during his overseas travel the monarch will be "monitored closely."

According to a palace insider who spoke to the Times , the "decision to pause treatment and resume it when he returns to Britain followed advice from doctors."

The trip also marks a return to Australia for King Charles, who visited the country in March 1983 with his then-wife, the late Princess Diana .

According to various reports, Charles grew increasingly frustrated with Princess Diana during the trip, which came early in their relationship and was described as a "terrifying baptism of fire" for the then-Princess of Wales.

As crowds were introduced and soon fell in love with Diana, Charles reportedly grew resentful of his bride's newfound fame. "Victor Chapman, the press secretary on the tour, got used to late-night phone calls from Charles complaining about the scant coverage of himself in the press compared to the hagiographic acres accorded of his wife," Tina Brown wrote in The Diana Chronicles .

"He took it out me," Diana told the royal biographer of her husband. "He was jealous; I understood the jealousy but I couldn't explain that I didn't ask for it."

King and Queen begin landmark tour of Australia

The King and Queen Camilla have begun a landmark tour of Australia that will see them celebrate the country’s people, culture and heritage.

The six-day trip to Canberra and Sydney will be Charles’ first to Australia as its head of state, and comes as he continues to receive treatment for cancer.

Australia’s Governor-General Sam Mostyn and her husband Simeon Beckett greeted the royal couple alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, his fiancee Jodie Haydon and other dignitaries.

Just a few hours before the plane landed, the royal couple posted a video montage of previous royal tours of Australia alongside words of praise for the Commonwealth country.

The couple said: “Ahead of our first visit to Australia as King and Queen, we are really looking forward to returning to this beautiful country to celebrate the extraordinarily rich cultures and communities that make it so special. See you there!

“Charles R & Camilla R.”

As drops of rain fell at Sydney airport , Charles and Camilla walked down the steps of an Australian Royal Air Force plane that carried the royal party as the King is Australia’s head of state.

Charles has visited Australia more than 15 times since the 1960s and has enjoyed some memorable trips, from studying at a remote outpost of a grammar school when a 17-year-old to being kissed by a bikini-clad model as he emerged from the sea.

The King and Queen will later travel to Samoa for a three-day state visit and meet world leaders taking part in a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which Charles will formally open.

Ms Mostyn, the King’s representative in Australia, is a prominent businesswoman whose career has spanned executive roles in the worlds sport, the arts and gender equality alongside business, and she introduced Charles to a line of dignitaries.

Among them were the Governor of New South Wales , Margaret Beazley, and New South Wales’ Premier Chris Minns.

The King had walked down the plane’s steps holding an umbrella as his wife sheltered under her own after the airport had been deluged, just 30 minutes before their arrival.

Among the line-up of dignitaries was 12-year-old Ky, who has severe aplastic anaemia and was able to present a posy to the Queen after his wish was granted by the Make-A-Wish organisations in the UK and Australia.

To mark the royal visit, the iconic Sydney Opera House was lit up with a rolling four-minute projection of images of Charles and Camilla.

Small symbolic protests are planned by the anti-monarchy group Republic, with its chief executive officer Graham Smith in Australia to lead the events in Canberra and Sydney.

The Australian Republican Movement has branded the visit “The Farewell Oz Tour” and reports claim Australia’s six state premiers will miss a reception for the King and Queen in Canberra on Monday.

Charles’s health is a factor, as the King was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year and will be pausing his treatment while he is away from the UK.

The overseas tour has been curtailed on advice from doctors, with a visit to New Zealand dropped from the itinerary and other changes made to the programme.

The first day of the tour ended with Mr Albanese and his partner Ms Haydon sitting down for informal private talks with the King and Queen at Admiralty House.

Australia’s prime minister has a long-held aim of holding a referendum on breaking ties with the British monarchy and his country becoming a republic.

But the plans were put on hold after Australians overwhelmingly rejected a plan to give greater political rights to Indigenous people in a referendum held last year.
