Queen was formed in London way back in 1970 and their line up of Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals) have rightfully become music legends. In 1975, "Bohemian Rhapsody" brought them international success and over the years Queen have sold literally hundreds of millions of records.<br />
