“Queen” was an English rock band originally consisting of 4 members: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor.
The band formed in London in the early 1970s after May and Taylor’s former band “Smile” split after having released an album and single. Freddie replaced Tim Staffell as vocalist, and John Deacon joined in February of 1971, playing bass for the band that Freddie renamed “Queen”.
Queen’s first self titled album was released in 1973 and received little attention from the general public. They quickly followed it with a second album, “Queen II” which also failed to generate much interest from music fans in Britain. Despite this, the band began developing a huge following in Japan and witnessed their popularity for themselves when they visited the country, mainly in 1975, to promote their fourth and most famous album “A Night At The Opera”, featuring the epic “
Bohemian Rhapsody”.
Queen’s popularity grew steadily through the latter half of the 70s as they released hit album after hit album, reaching its peak in the mid-80s after their “Live Aid” appearence, and continuing into the early 90’s before Mercury’s untimely death on 24th November 1991. The official cause of death was bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS.

Freddie Mercury é um tremendo vocalista. E um compositor de inspiração grandiosa. É uma lenda da música. Sua versatilidade é invejável. Brian May também é um compositor e guitarrista genial, e tem um timbre que jamais será imitado. Posts not in English are pretty silly, no? Specify languages for shoutboxes, PLEASE!
