Introducing Queen to 70's Rock! Queen are a Rock band originated in London in 1970. Queen consists of 4 band member Freddie Mercury lead on vocals and piano (far left) , Brian May on guitar and vocals (middle right). John Deacon on bass guitar (middle left) and Roger Taylor on drums and vocal (far right).
Queen is famously known for the single Bohemian Phapsody in 1975 during their album release "A Night At The Opera" This song never had a vision to be so successful. This was because the song had a length of 5 minutes and 55 seconds which was seen to be too long for radio. Despite the length of the song it became one of the greatest singles they produced hitting radios becoming number 1 in the UK for a consecutive 9 weeks!
on the 23rd of November 1991 Freddy Mercury died. As a tribute Queen released a double sided single to raise money for charity. It became number one on UK charts and stayed up their for 5 weeks, raising over one million pounds. Queen then became the first band to have the same single become number one on UK charts twice. Freddie Mercury was awarded posthumously the BRIT’s “Outstanding Contribution to British Music”. Making Queen true legends of ROCK!
