Roger performs in a rock 'n' roll version of Handel's "Messiah" in Dublin. Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight and actor Adian Quinn also participate and the show airs on Ireland's RTE. A storm of controversy swirls around it due to the amount of government grant money used to stage the production. In fact, the cost is so high, the production fails to raise projected money intended for charity.
