Queen for dummies - Queen is a British band - Freddie Mercury, lead singer


Queen is a British band, formed in the late 60's. They were famous in the 70''s, 80''s and early 90''s. In 1991 lead singer Freddie Mercury died of AIDS, after that, Queen did never become that famous anymore. ''No Freddie, no Queen''.

The members are:
* Freddie Mercury, lead singer

*Brian May, lead guitarist

*John Deacon, basguitarist

*Roger Taylor, drummer

Okay, so you know who te members are. Now you understand your Queen-fan-friend if he/she's talking about the great guitar solo of Brian May, and John Deacon's perfect basslines.




When I tag ''Queen'' on Google, I even see other people! I only recognize that guy with the long curly hair! Did they change members?
Queen's music was in charts for 20 years, in that 20 years, they changed looks a lot. But they never changed members. So maybe you don't recognize them, it are really the same people. I will show you the 3 basic looks of them.

Why did Freddie Mercury had a moustash like most South-American guys?
Actually, that moustash that's typically for a stereotype South-American man, was inspired by Freddie! I am not kidding! Queen was really famous in South-America [they were the first band having a tour at South-America]. Queen was (and still is) very popular there!
