The Beatles, who had written about being active in the sixties and sevens, knew everyone, and after that, the bands that were hotter in the seventies and eighties had to mention Queen.
The two bands have a striking similarity, which is that their lead singers both died young, the Beatles lead singer John Lennon was shot at 40, and Queen's lead singer Freddy Mercury died of AIDS at the age of 45.
Queen
Freddie Mercury
Freddie Mercury is also a talented musician, with most of Queen's classic songs written by him, and he has a good voice and superb singing skills.
He openly confessed to his bisexual identity, had fun, and enjoyed parties and going in and out of men's clubs.
He has been in a lot of relationships, both men and women, but his ex-girlfriend Mary Austin is considered his beloved because he has left her the property and music rights.
The song "Don't Stop Me Now", included on the album Jazz, is seen as his attitude towards life, with the lyrics featuring this sentence:
Don't stop me, I'm having a great time; I'm at a dance party, don't stop me now, if you want to have fun, make a phone call to me; don't stop me now, don't stop me now, I don't want to stop at all.
Enjoy life as much as he wants, life is short, but he does not regret it.

Queen is a British rock band, but lead singer Freddie Mercury is not British, he was born in Zanzibar, Tanzania, East Africa, to Parsis parents from India, who are said to be of Persian descent.
Freddy with his mother
In order to get an education, Freddy's parents sent him to an English boarding school in Mumbai, and the rest of the time he lived mostly with his grandmother and aunt who lived in India, and did not return to his parents until after finishing secondary school.
His real name was Farouq Bullesara, and his classmates called him Freddy when he was at boarding school. He has enjoyed sports and music since he was a child, especially with a great interest in music, and has learned a variety of instruments.
After joining Queen, he officially changed his name to Freddie Mercury.
Freddy's teenage years
In 1964, due to riots in Zanzibar, Freddy's parents took him and his sister to move to Britain.
In London, he attended The Isleworth School of Technology and then the Ealing School of Art, where he studied graphic design and later designed his own logo for Queen.
Life is hard to pursue, and for a long time before and even long after fame, Freddy, like the rest of Queen, struggled to make endeavor, selling second-hand clothes and working at the airport.
Freddy
At first he joined some orchestras, but none of them made any sparks.
In early 1970, he joined the band Smile. The band was formed by Brian Harold May and Tim Staffer, who recruited drummer Roger Taylor.
Freddy was a friend of Tim Stafer, and Freddy often met with the band members, and he admired Brian and Roger. However, his friend Tim was not optimistic about the band and eventually chose to leave to join other bands.
Freddy, on the other hand, offered to join smiles, not only as the lead singer of the band, but also as the leader of the band.
Under Freddy's transformation, they appeared with a different and gorgeous appearance.
He renamed the band Queen and designed the logo himself, and the stage style is also very eye-catching, attracting people's attention with the exaggerated expressiveness of strange costumes.
It can be said that Freddy found the position of Queen and dominated the development of the band.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02</h1>
Before becoming famous, Freddy went around telling everyone that he would definitely become a superstar in the future, but no one believed him at the time, and everyone laughed.
Freddy didn't mind being laughed at, he was convinced that he would succeed.
Queen wasn't a hit, and in July 1973 they released their first album, Queen, which was a minor splash on the music market at the time.
Band member Brian recalls that when they went to the video store to ask if there was an album of Queen, the clerk reacted with confusion and did not know what Queen was.
The following year, after releasing their second album, they began to make a name for themselves and were invited to participate in the recording of the BBC's music programme Top of music.
But the recording of the show was terrible, they caught up with the strike of the TV crew, and the whole program recording process was terrible. However, the show worked well after it aired, and their songs went straight to the top ten of the Uk Pop Charts.
Queen's popularity kicked off, they began touring around, and as their exposure grew, so did their attention, and the subsequent third album took them to new heights again.
However, the magnificent queen members on stage, still worried about food and clothing in private, were crammed into a rental house, and the agency told them that we had not made any money.
However, once they found out that someone in the management of the company had bought a Rolls-Royce, Freddy felt that something was wrong, and he told the rest of the band that I would not do it, and that there was no way to do it.
They decided to find a new agent to work with, John Reid was a successful manager in the music industry at the time, he was very confident in Queen, he told them, you just have to do the album well, the business matters to me.
For Queen, the market acceptance of the fourth album determines their future, and they owe a lot of debt in order to record the fourth album.
However, at such a juncture, Freddy, as the lead singer, did not play his cards according to common sense and created a song of nearly 6 minutes in length, "Bohemian Rhapsody".
The style is also unique and advanced, it is a rock song that combines opera.
Both the agent and the distribution company believe that no radio station wants to play such a long song, and no one wants to listen to such a long song, and the song should be cut short.
However, Freddy insisted on his idea, saying that he would either keep the full length of the song or not.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a young man named Kenny Everett went to the studio and fell in love with the song after listening to it, and he actually stole a tape back and played it on his radio show.
The song went on fire unexpectedly, and sales were also overjoyed by the company's sales staff.
Queen became a sought-after band, they were finally eligible to do concerts in Hyde Park, and being able to do concerts here was a testament to their strength, and the band members no longer had to worry about money.
Although for many listeners, Freddy's lyrics are a bit strange, the style is also diverse, not all pure rock style, many people do not know the meaning of these lyrics, but it does not prevent everyone from liking him and his music.

In 1970, Freddy became acquainted with Mary Austin for band member Brian May. Brian and Mary met at Imperial College London and dated several times.
Later, Brian discovers that Freddy is interested in Mary, so he fulfills Freddy and encourages him to ask Mary out.
Five months later, Mary moved into Freddy's small apartment and the two began living together.
Although the couple is sweet, Mary always feels that Freddy is a little different in the direction of sexual orientation, and Freddy is also uneasy about his sexual orientation, he likes not only women, but also men.
Gradually, Freddy's desire for the other half became more inclined to men.
After six years with Mary, Freddy finally plucked up the courage to tell Mary that he was bisexual. Freddy's move did not make Mary angry, on the contrary, Mary felt relieved and grateful for Freddy's honesty.
Although the relationship ended, Mary and Freddy became lifelong friends, and Mary would be by her side whenever Freddy needed help. Later, even when Mary got married, she still put Freddy in the most important position.
Freddy, despite his later associations with many men, in his heart, his ex-girlfriend Mary is still his beloved, and he has left his property and music rights to Mary, which are the most precious things in his property.
Eric Hall, former EMI promotion manager, said:
If there is someone who is the love of his life, I think his will is still called a will, proving that that person is Mary Austin. She was a good girl, and they stayed together day and night, wherever they went. And she knew what he really was like, and had nothing to hide.
After breaking up with Mary, Freddy began to let himself go and indulge in various parties, and he would find various reasons to throw parties, tours, performances, celebrations, and so on.
Writer Paul Gambaccini, a close friend of Freddy's, said freddie was good at throwing parties, enjoying delicious food, and enjoying the men's club.
Photographer Mick Locke said that the image Freddy created for himself in the later period was inspired by the beauty clubs where gay people gathered like "Anvil".
The long-running chaotic relationship has led to a red light in Freddy's health.
Paul Gambaccini had wanted to remind Freddy of his relationship between men and women, but Freddy wanted to do whatever he wanted.
It was early 1983, we were in paradise nightclubs, I had just returned from the United States, did I say that you restrained your behavior because of that new disease (AIDS)? It hadn't had a name yet, and he made the waving gesture he was used to, saying, honey, my attitude is, go to it, and I'm going to do anything with anyone I want.
After listening to Freddy's answer, Paul Gambaccini's heart sank and he felt that he would lose Freddy.
Paul Gambaccini was right, and in 1987 Freddy was diagnosed with AIDS.
Subsequently, Queen's activities had to be reduced, Freddy was also emaciated, and various signs attracted the attention of the British media, and soon they dug up the news that Freddy was suffering from AIDS.
But Freddy denied it.
It wasn't until November 22, 1991, that Freddy issued a statement through then-agent Jim Beach, admitting that he had AIDS and explaining that the reason for keeping it secret was to protect the privacy of his family and those around him.
Now, he felt it was time to make it public, and he hoped that everyone would join him and people around the world in fighting this terrible disease.
The next day, Freddy, 45, died of pneumonia caused by AIDS.
The fall of a generation of legendary rock stars is regrettable and heart-wrenching.
And the popularity is extreme, and Queen, which has many classic songs, is difficult to continue its former glory.
In an interview before his death, Freddy once said:
Whatever we went through, we're going to go on, and I think it's our whole team's survival instinct, unless I leave suddenly, they just have to find someone to replace me, but replacing me isn't an easy task, right?
From the island of Zanzibar in Tanzania in East Africa to London in the United Kingdom, Freddy has always believed that he can succeed. After becoming the lead singer of Queen, he did not go with the flow, but insisted on his own music creation style, achieving legend.
Indeed, as he said, if he leaves, it will not be easy to find someone to replace him, because Freddy Mercury is unique, no one can replace, no one can surpass.
To this day, the songs he composed are still classics, his fans are all over the world, and he never seems to leave.
Despite his short life, he really tried to move forward and lived a wonderful life.
