The British band Queen has its lyrics written in gold in the history of contemporary music. Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, Brian May, and John Deacon formed in 1972 one of the most promising bands of the time, owners of true rock anthems still sung in chorus today.
After the death of their lead singer in 1991, the group's golden age ended, but its members have continued to carry the legacy of their songs around the world.
The history of Queen began in 1970, but the germ of the British band took place two years earlier. Brian May and Roger Taylor founded the band Smile in 1968, with Tim Staffell as a vocalist.
When the latter decided to leave the group to join another one, the other members immediately thought of Freddie, whom they knew from school.
At that time, the band had Freddie Mercury, Brian May, and Roger Taylor when it was renamed Queen due to a suggestion of the lead singer himself. At first, they played covers of other bands and artists, but they also composed their songs. Then, in 1970 they performed live for the first time in the English city of Truro.
They tried out several different bass players in those first concerts, but after meeting John Deacon in a bar, they decided to bring him into the band for good. As a result, the four members of Queen performed together in 1972.
At that time, Freddie Mercury had already designed the group's famous logo, inspired by the zodiac signs of its members, with two lions for Deacon and Taylor, who are Leo, a crab for May, who is Cancer, and two fairies for Mercury, who was a Virgo. 2021 NEW Queen Greatest Hits Funko Pop!
