This lineup remained unchanged throughout the group's original trajectory, which ended with Mercury's death in 1991 and Deacon's subsequent retirement in 1997; however, occasionally May and Taylor team up with other musicians to continue the group. The band started in 1968, when May and Taylor formed the trio Smile along with Tim Staffell, of which their school friend Freddie Mercury was a big fan, and after Staffell's departure in 1971, Mercury joined the group and changed the name to "Queen", assuming the position of vocalist and pianist. In 1973, they released their debut album, Queen, followed by Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack, and although the group had experienced a certain worldwide projection with the song "Killer Queen", it was in 1975 that the band reached stardom with the album A Night at the Opera, rocked by the song "Bohemian Rhapsody", leading the band to sell millions of records and touring worldwide. In the years that followed, the group released a succession of highly successful albums and consolidated the group's career, spawning a large number of songs that have become music classics, such as "We Will Rock You", "We Are the Champions" , "Love of my Life", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Under Pressure", "Radio Ga Ga", "I Want to Break Free", and many others. The group's live performances became famous due to Mercury's charismatic and innovative performances, taking the group to a level never reached before, as the group was, for example, the first to perform in sold-out stadiums in South America and Africa. . In 1987, when the group was again at the height of its popularity, Mercury was diagnosed with HIV, and fearing for his health, the band chose to stop touring, the August 9, 1986 concert being the last with the band. complete original training. On April 20, 1992, fans shared their grief over the loss of Freddie at "The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert", a tribute concert that brought together several famous bands and artists, held at Wembley Stadium (London). Musicians like David Bowie, George Michael, Annie Lennox, Elton John, Liza Minnelli, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, Tony Iommi and bands like Def Leppard, Extreme, Guns N' Roses and Metallica, along with the remaining members of Queen, (Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon) played the band's biggest hits. Queen members never actually broke up, although the original lineup's last studio album was released in 1995, ironically titled Made In Heaven. The album was made from the last sessions recorded by the singer in 1991, in addition to material discarded from previous albums. In 1997, John Deacon, after recording the video clip "No One But You" (song in honor of Freddie Mercury) with Queen, decides to retire from the music business to dedicate himself to his family. Mercury died on November 24, 1991, the year the group completed two decades of career. Considered one of the most important bands in the history of rock and roll, Queen has sold more than three hundred million records around the world, and is considered to be the main influence of several famous bands that emerged from the 80's onwards, and their songs continue to be remembered until today, making Queen one of the most recognizable bands to the general public due to their unique style.

Queen played nearly every type of music. Just when you want to call them a rock band, you hear something like “Don’t Stop Me Now,” which could be right at home in a Broadway theater production. And then conversely, when you want to call them an art-rock or theatrical-rock band, you hear something like “Stone Cold Crazy,” which is widely considered the first thrash-metal song. And then, of course, you have their legendary hit “Bohemian Rhapsody” that comprises multiple genres.
