Queen MFSL
The band, Queen, was a British rock band that formed in 1970. It included lead vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon, and drummer Roger Taylor. They created one of the greatest singles in history, gave one of the best live performances, and was the best British band of all time.
Queen has fifteen studio albums, five live albums, and many compilation albums under their belt and in 2009, the EMI record label reported that their worldwide sales on albums was over 300 million. The band gained their first international success on the albums “Sheer Heart Attack” in 1974 and “A Night at the Opera” in 1975. “Bohemian Rhapsody” was the #1 song on their latter album for nine weeks.
