Queen is an iconic British rock band formed in London in 1970, renowned for their distinctive blend of operatic grandeur, hard rock, and intricate vocal harmonies. The original lineup included Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), and John Deacon (bass guitar). Known for their charismatic stage presence, particularly that of Mercury, one of rock's most dynamic frontmen, Queen quickly soared to international stardom with a slew of hits.

The band’s extensive catalog of hits includes enduring classics such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," and "Somebody to Love." Their performance at Live Aid in 1985 is widely hailed as one of the greatest in rock history. Even after Mercury's death in 1991 and Deacon's retirement in the late '90s, Queen continued to tour and record with various vocalists. In recent years, Adam Lambert has become a regular collaborator, touring as "Queen + Adam Lambert." The band's legacy is marked by a fusion of glam rock and heavy metal, with a stagecraft that revolutionized concert experiences. Their commitment to philanthropy and social causes, like the single "You Are The Champions" released in support of the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund, aggregately solidifies their stance as not only music legends but also global influencers.
