Queen

Queen is a British rock band that achieved widespread fame in the mid-1970s and is one of the most successful groups in the history of rock music. The media calls the group "iconic" and writes that it still has hundreds of millions of fans to this day. Critics consider the group’s songs such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," "Innuendo," "The Show Must Go On," "Radio Ga Ga," and "I Want to Break Free," and "A Kind of Magic" to be rock classics. The group released fifteen studio albums, five live albums, and numerous compilations. Eighteen Queen hits topped the charts in various countries. Each member of the group is the author of at least one hit that reached the top of the British charts. The group’s concert performances were also recognized as some of the most vibrant and significant in the history of rock. Queen’s music videos also became widely known for their innovation in the field of special effects and editing. The 1975 music video for the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" is called a key moment in the history of music videos, and its success inspired the development of this industry. After the death of Queen’s lead singer Freddie Mercury, the band practically ceased studio activity, but Brian May and Roger Taylor continued touring under the name Queen + Paul Rodgers, performing both proven hits and new material.
