Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1971, originally consisting of Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). Queen's earliest works were heavily influenced by progressive rock; in the mid-1970s, the band ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works, bringing them greater commercial success. Later they incorporated more diverse and innovative styles in their music, exploring the likes of gospel music, electronic music and funk.
Queen enjoyed success in the UK during the early 1970s, but it was the release of Sheer Heart Attack (1974) and A Night at the Opera (1975) that gained the band international success. The latter featured "Bohemian Rhapsody" stayed at number one in the UK charts for nine weeks. In 1991 Mercury died of bronchopneumonia, a complication of AIDS, and Deacon retired in 1997.
The band has released a total of 18 number one albums, 18 number one singles and 10 number one DVDs, and has sold over 300 million albums worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
