Violence Insane in a Beautiful World is the upcoming seventh solo studio album from musician Roger Taylor. It is set to release 18 September 2026, through Taylor's own Nightjar Productions and Columbia Records.
Background
On 10 June 2026, Taylor announced the album and released the first single from the record, "Come On Summer (It's Party Time)".[1] The single (and two other tracks on the album) feature the South African group known as the Ndlovu Youth Choir. The choir recorded a Zulu-language cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in 2025, which brought the attention of Taylor. He then decided to have them feature on the album.[2]
The only song on the album not written by Taylor is a cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy".[3]
Release and tour
The album is set to be released on CD, vinyl, and digital on 18 September 2026. A tour to promote the album is set to start on September 21 in the United Kingdom exclusively.[4] Touring members include Spike Edney on the keyboard and many others.
