Queen is a British rock band.
It was formed in London in
1971. The original member
consists of Freddie Mercury
(lead vocals, piano), Brian
May (guitar, vocals), John
Deacon (bass guitar), and
Roger Taylor (drums, vocals).
Queen's previous works
weregreatly inspired by
progressive rock. In the
mid-1970s, the band attempt
into more formal and
radio-friendly works that put
them in a greater commercial
success. It became a symbol to
blend very different and
creative styles in their music
which explore the appreciation
of the show, gospel music,
electronic music and funk.
Brian May and Roger Taylor had
been performing together in a
band called Smile. Freddie
Mercury (known by his birth
name of Farrokh or Freddie
Bulsara) is a fan of Smile and
inspired them to experiment
with very busy stage and
recording techniques. Freddie
Mercury enter the band
afterwards. They changed the
name of the band to "Queen"
and accept his familiar stage
name. John Deacon was iniated
before the recording of their
first album. During the 1970s,
Queen appreciated success in
the UK but it was the release
of "Sheer Heart Attack" in
1974 and "A Night at the
Opera" in 1975 that achieved
the bands international
success. The later featured
"Bohemian Rhapsody" which
remained at number one spot in
the UK charts for nine
weeks.Mercury passed way due
to his bronchopneumonia (a
complication of AIDS) in 1991
and Deacon withdraw in 1997.
Because of this May and Taylor
have occasionally playing
together which includ a
collaboration with Paul
Rodgers
