THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A CONCISE AND PERFECT HISTORY OF THE BAND BECAUSE I FIGURE THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO LIKE QUEEN AND WHO HAVE FOLLOWED THEM FOR A LONG TIME WILL KNOW ALL THE IN'S AND OUT'S OF THE HISTORY OF THE BAND ALREADY,AND THERE ARE ENOUGH REALLY GOOD QUEEN INFORMATION SITES ON THE NET TO KEEP EVERYONE WHO IS AFTER FACTS AND FIGURES OCCUPIED FOR ALONG TIME...

THE BAND

FREDDIE MERCURY............BORN SEPTEMBER 5TH 1946

BRIAN MAY............................BORN JULY 14TH 1947

ROGER TAYLOR...................BORN JULY 26TH 1949

JOHN DEACON......................BORN AUGUST 19TH 1951

QUEEN WERE FORMED IN 1970 BY FREDDIE MERCURY,BRIAN MAY,ROGER TAYLOR AND JOHN DEACON AND HAD THE SAME LINEUP THROUGHOUT THEIR LONG CAREER WHICH HAS NOW SPANNED THREE DECADES.

DURING THAT CAREER THEY PUT OUT MORE THAN 20 ALBUMS AND HAD NUMBER ONE HITS ALL OVER THE WORLD.THEY ALSO PIONEERED THE USE OF VIDEOS TO HELP PROMOTE THE SONGS AS WELL.THE MOST NOTABLE BEING THE 6 MINUTE VIDEO FOR "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY"

THEY ALSO HELPED PAVE THE WAY FOR STADIUM CONCERTS,AND PLAYED AT MANY OF THE WORLDS LARGEST STADIUMS IN EUROPE,ENGLAND AND SOUTH AMERICA.......IN 1985 THEY PLAYED IN FRONT OF 250,000 PEOPLE AT THE "ROCK IN RIO"FESTIVAL IN BRAZIL...

SADLY ALL OF THIS CAME TO AN END IN NOVEMBER 1991 WHEN LEAD SINGER "FREDDIE MERCURY"DIED OF AIDS.

HIS DEATH NOT ONLY LEFT ALL QUEEN FANS WITHOUT THEIR FAVORITE SINGER,BUT LEFT A HUGE HOLE IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC THAT WILL NEVER BE FILLED.HE TRULY WAS ONE OF THE WORLDS GREATEST MUSICAL TREASURES..........BUT LUCKILY WE STILL HAVE HIS MUSIC AND THE MUSIC OF QUEEN TO LISTEN TO AND NOBODY CAN TAKE THE MEMORIES AWAY FROM US.........
