Queen is a British rock band that was formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of lead vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor, and bassist John Deacon. They are known for their unique sound that blends elements of hard rock, pop, and opera, as well as their theatrical stage performances and iconic music videos.

Queen achieved commercial success with their fourth album, "A Night at the Opera" (1975), which included the hit song "Bohemian Rhapsody". The song's success, along with its groundbreaking music video, helped establish Queen as one of the biggest bands in the world. They continued to release hit songs throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including "We Will Rock You", "We Are the Champions", "Somebody to Love", and "Another One Bites the Dust".

Queen's music has had a lasting impact on popular culture and has been covered by numerous artists. Freddie Mercury's powerful vocals and flamboyant stage presence also made him an icon of rock music, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock.

Sadly, Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991 due to complications from AIDS. Despite his passing, Queen has continued to perform with other lead vocalists, including Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert. In 2018, the biographical film "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released, which depicted the life of Freddie Mercury and the rise of Queen. The film was a box office success and won multiple awards, including four Academy Awards.
