Queen, one of the most famous rock bands in the world.
This British band was formed in 1970 by Freddie Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor. The bassist, John Deacon joined in 1971.
Their debut album was titled Queen and released in 1973.
The drummer, Roger Taylor wrote one of the songs.
The first album to make to #1 on the UK chart is A Night at the Opera. The album was, at the time of its release, the most expensive album ever recorded.
The song Bohemian Rhapsody from that album, is the only song that has come back to #1 after it has been pusched down by another song.
In 1977 they released the album News of the World. News of the World was the second album to be produced solely by the band (the first being A Day at the Races). One of the songs, We are the Champions later became the official theme song for 1994 FIFA World Cup.
1986 came the album A Kind of Magic. It was the band's eleventh studio album and their first to be recorded digitally, and is based on the soundtrack to the film Highlander. The song Princes of the Universe is the movie theme song and the only song on the album for which Mercury received sole credit.
On the next album, The Miracle, the song I Want It All was inspired by Brian May's 2nd wife, Anita Dobson's favourite motto, "I Want it All, and I Want It Now!"
In 1995 the band released the last album, Made In Heaven, that featured the lead singer Freddie Mercury. The album contained material that was recorded before his dead in 1991. The song Too Much Love Will Kill You, written by Brian May, Frank Musker and Elizabeth Lamers, won an Ivor Novello award for this song.
Brian May said later that if there was one song that he would have wanted to win an award for, it was for that song.
