Rufus Taylor, the son of Queen drummer Roger Taylor, is the new drummer for The Darkness.

The Darkness sprung the surprise news in a tweet today saying:

Rufus Taylor’s middle name Tiger was given to him by Freddie Mercury.

Rufus Taylor recently toured Australia with Queen + Adam Lambert in August 2014 with father and son performing The Drum Battle together.

Rufus was a member of the Queen + Adam Lambert touring band from 2011-2014. He was also the drummer for the London stage show ‘We Will Rock You’ and played drums with this father and Brian May at the Prince’s Trust Gala of 2010.
