Queen
Queen are a British rock band that formed in 1970 and consisted of lead vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon, and drummer Roger Taylor. Queen have been described as giving the greatest live performance ever, producing the greatest song in history, and being the best British band of all time. They have released fifteen studio albums, five live albums and numerous compilation albums. According to the BBC, the band had sold over 300 million albums internationally by 2009, rendering them the world's second best-selling rock band, after The Beatles. Queen enjoyed success in the UK during the early 1970s but it was the release of Sheer Heart Attack (1974) and A Night at the Opera
(1975) that gained the band international success – critically and commercially. The latter featured "Bohemian Rhapsody", which stayed at #1 in the UK charts for nine weeks. Their success continued through the seventies, eighties, and nineties. In 1987 Mercury was diagnosed HIV positive and died in 1991 of bronchopneumonia induced by AIDS. Deacon's retirement followed in 1997. Since then, May and Taylor have performed infrequently together at special events and programmes. Between 2004 to 2009 the duo collaborated with Paul Rodgers under the moniker Queen + Paul Rodgers.
