Thank you for being friendly and comfortable with you. Thanks for the real teamwork and support! I believe in you and in us. When we are together - it's really cool!

It is reported that the debut performance of the group will be the appearance on the stage of the Golden Gramophone.

This group is described by one phrase. "This is one of those cases where 2 are very talented person met 2 geniuses. This phrase perfectly describes British rock band Queen. Queen group rightfully considered one of the standards of rock. In terms of their impact on music and society, they are comparable to The Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Queen group appeared in the mid-1960s, when students Brian May and Tim Staffel decided to create musical group named after Orwell's 1984 book. Soon Roger Taylor responded to their advertisement for a drummer, becoming the third member of 1984. A few years later, the band renamed itself Smile.

Around the same time, the band members met Farukh Bulsara, who attended their rehearsals and was interested in their work. During the year they musical paths are on parallel lines. But at the beginning of 1970, Staffel left the group and then Taylor and May invited Farukh to try out for the role of vocalist, which Tim had previously performed.

The Queen Band, Freddie Mercury and the Path to Glory

This was one of the most important decisions in the history of rock music in the seventies. Soon the group changes its name to Queen, and Farukh changes his name to stage name, which became famous all over the world -. This is how the famous link was born: Queen group - Freddie Mercury. For a long time Queen's group could not get a sensible bassist into their ranks, and only a few months later John Deacon joined them on a permanent basis.

John became the very last link on the path to worldwide fame and recognition of Queen. Freddie Mercury comes up with a logo for the group, which combines the zodiac signs of all members of Queen.

In 1973, after two years of recording, their 1st album with the prosaic title "Queen" appears on store shelves. At that time Queen group not only actively tours the UK and neighboring countries in support of the debut album. But he is also actively recording new material. In 1974, they shot two albums at once, which crept close to the top of the UK charts. At the same time, the first truly famous hit of the group "Killer Queen" was recorded.

Queen: global success

But the real success was yet to come. In 1975, the 4th Queen album "A night at the Opera" was released. It went platinum instantly and topped the charts. During the recording of this album, which became, perhaps, the crown of his career Queen, each of its participants contributed a part of the material. For example, Roger Taylor wrote the song I "m in love with my car, John Deacon wrote one of his best songs - You" re my best friend.

But main job Brian and Freddie did it all the same - both wrote 5 songs each. Brian came up with an arrangement of the British anthem, which later sounded at the end of Queen's performance, and Mercury came up with one of the main hits of the Bohemian Rhapsody band, which became calling card group and elevated it to the level of popularity of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

Following this, he conducts successful tours, while winning the sympathy of the audience in distant Japan. The following albums continued to strengthen the group's position on the music scene, and hits poured in from a cornucopia. It was during these years that two hymns were recorded, which are performed at many events to this day. The first of them - “" has become a frequent guest at rock concerts, and without “" at least one honoring of sports champions is rarely done.

In 1978, the band's most scandalous album was released. Many of the songs were incomprehensible to critics, and the clip for Bicycle Race was even banned from TV because of its pornography, since it featured several dozen naked girls on bicycles.

Queen: 80s and image change

If at the beginning of their career the band used catchy concert outfits, looking in the style of Slade, then by the beginning of the eighties the musicians decided to grow up. Queen ditched flashy clothes and everyone except Brian cut their hair short.

In the 80s, the band's work continued to develop at the intersection of many styles. As before, the group used a mixture of classic rock, jazz, punk, heavy metal and rhythm and blues.

In 1980, she first used a synthesizer to record an album. In the same year, she recorded the soundtrack for the film Flash Gordon.

In 1984, Queen released a scandalous video for the song I want to break free, where all the band members were presented in women's clothing.

In 1986, the album "A kind of magic" was released, based on the soundtrack (for the TV series "Highlander"). The tour in support of him became the most successful in the history of the group. In the same year, Queen became the first rock band to play a concert in the countries of the Soviet bloc - in Hungary. This tour was the last for the original line-up of the band.

Queen: Freddie Mercury's illness and the breakup of the group

After 1987, rumors about Freddie Mercury's illness began to spread in the press. Until 1991, the group manages to release two albums, which were promoted thanks to singles and video clips, in which Mercury's progressive illness is clearly visible. The inevitable happened on November 24, 1991, when Freddie Mercury died of AIDS. His death caused a real boom in the fight against this terrible disease.

The group's activities did not stop after that - in 1992 a concert was held in memory of Freddie, with the participation of world pop stars, including Metallica, David Bowie and others. In 1995, a posthumous album was released, consisting of recordings with Freddie made before his death, as well as solo compositions by the band members. Shortly after his death, John Deacon also left Queen, citing the fact that without Freddie Mercury there is no point in continuing to perform.

But Taylor and May continued to perform: in 2008, the musicians released an album with a new vocalist, Paul Rodgers, with whom they performed successfully for several years. After that, the group continued to perform, inviting various performers to the role of vocalist, participating in many events, and even performing at the closing of the London Olympics in 2012.

Interest group Queens and composition new group Queens cause constant excitement, because the project in the girl band format has completely updated the soloists. The dossier of each of them contains vivid pages of biography, so the victims of the girls' own careers seem incredible. At the same time, the story of each participant is not necessarily connected with singing.

Composition for 2019:

Christina Kotz-Gotlieb
Volga King
Katya Korol

Photos of girls, Christina and twin sisters Volga and Katya, and another interesting information, you can also learn the Queens bands.

Pop trio from the past

So, in a creative collusion in 2017-2018, the following personalities agreed:

Kristina Kots-Gotlib / Ukraine;
Olga Leta/ Belarus;
Ekaterina Pechkurova/ Russia.

Moreover, the first two members of the new Queens began their promotion in the Ukrainian TV show. Only Katya Pechkurova built her career in Russia.

Christina Kotz-Gotlieb

Kristina Kots-Gotlieb / Ukraine is perhaps the most famous member of the QUEENS group. A native of Donbass and rightfully considered its queen. Since she has a whole list of titles, from which it follows that in 2003 and 2004 she was the most beautiful girl in Donetsk and everything in general.

2005 year. Christina became the soloist of Via Gra. Almost two years continued her career in the group. There was a lot of gossip about the reasons for the dismissal, but there is nothing serious for real discussion. Until 2009, the girl took part in photo shoots with famous photographers. She even appeared in Bogdan Titomir's sensational video "Do as I do" in 2007.

However, the lull in the girl's career did not last long. Christina became "Miss Ukraine Universe 2009". With subsequent participation in the final of the competition in the Bahamas. Although meticulous history buffs can add a fly in the ointment to this story. Among the members of the jury there were two people at once who were related to the creation collective Via Gra: photographer Dmitry Peretrutov and fashion designer Anzhela Lisitsa.

However, for the fans there was no doubt that this particular girl should wear the crown. In the most important fight, where it was necessary to get largest number custom voices social network, Christina came out one of the winners.

In 2014, the girl again appeared on the star stage, releasing the video "Trust your heart".

Olga Leta

Another Queen only now of twerk is Olga Leta, a member of the Queens group from Belarus. Even Vlad Yama himself (Ukrainian showman and permanent member of the jury) at the first meeting with Olya called her a twice-crowned person. It is not surprising that she is the winner of two competitions in Belarus, both of which are directly related to dance projects. Despite this, in his hometown The Grodno girl was clearly disliked, especially by women, sometimes calling her downright offensive expressions.

That is why twice the queen of twerk came to Ukraine not to conquer the country with singing, but exclusively with body movements. "Everybody dance" - popular show, at least one issue was seen by every resident of the country.

It was in the ninth season that Olga was lucky to do the following:

get acquainted with the most captious judge of the dance floors, probably not only in Ukraine, Vlad Yam;
be remembered and loved by the millionth army of fans of the program;
catch the eye of the future producers of the group QUEENS.

Olya Leta did not leave a single chance for a different choice, because from the first performance she became the Queen of the country's dance floor. Now very organically joined the new women's group.

Little is known about the girl's age. But there is information that she is raising an 11-year-old daughter, from which they conclude that Olga is about 30 years old.

Ekaterina Pechkurova

Ekaterina Pechkurova the most enigmatic personality the new line-up of the Queens group, but also the deserving title of the Queen of Karaoke. However, the path to this title was slightly thorny and not very short.

Katya's first appearance took place back in 2012 on the Voice program in Russia. Then none of the jury members turned to the performance of the song "Love has come." Alexander Gradsky explained his position by the fact that this composition must be performed more purely. Since there are many "overflows" of notes in it, and they are lost when there is even the slightest inaccuracy.

In general, the girl’s failure was attributed to a poor choice of song, which does not allow the participant’s voice to be fully demonstrated.

But very soon, Ekaterina Pechkurova got a new chance to continue her singing career at the Live Sound site. Now on the Internet you can find a whole collection of songs performed by Katya. Her charm, love for music and the audience, as well as an ambitious disposition did not leave the hearts of her new fans indifferent.

The history of the creation of the first composition of the Queens group

So, the group Queens appeared on the star Olympus. All participants of the first line-up are former soloists of the VIAGra group. Starting brightly, the new project immediately won the hearts of many fans. But, already in April 2017, rumors began to circulate about the complete replacement of the participants.

What caused the dismissal of Olga Romanovskaya, Santa Dimopoulos and Tatyana Kotova is unknown. Was it a PR move or a conflict with the producer?

Sergei Kovalev became the producer of the new girl-band group Queens. According to him, the main goal of the project is to create worthy competition for K. Meladze with his VIAgra group. For the audience, it was a surprise that all the girls from the trio at different times were members of ViaGra.

Initially, the creation of the project was covered with a veil of secrecy. This is especially true of Olga Romanovskaya, who at that time worked in the TV show "Revizorro". Unexpectedly for everyone, she left the show without explaining anything to the fans, subtly hinting that she would soon reappear on stage. Dimopoulos and Kotova at the time of the creation of Queens led solo careers.

On November 8, 2016, a preview took place, where the producer and the members of the group announced the new team.

On November 19, a song called "Pain" was released - which became the official start. The composition was performed at the festivals of the Golden Gramophone award. The performance of the girls did not go unnoticed - they immediately captivated the audience with their beauty and sensual performance.

Interestingly, the outfits of the band members differed little from the usual concert costumes in which they performed as part of the VIA Gra group. This and their common participation in the Meladze project caused a stir among the fans. There were persistent rumors about replacing one group with another.

Biography of the participants of the first composition of Queens

For 2016 / 2017:

Tanya Kotova
Olya Romanovskaya
Santa Dimopoulos

Tatyana Kotova

The singer turns 32 this year. During this time, she managed to win the title of "Miss Russia", was a soloist in the groups "VIA Gra" and "Queens", acted in films, while actively engaged in solo career.

The girl Tanya Kotova was born in the South of Russia in Rostov region. She grew up in an atmosphere of love and understanding. Parents from an early age spoiled and supported Tatyana in everything. For example, at the age of 13, a girl saw a "belly dance" and got excited about the idea of becoming a dancer. Without teachers, only on cassettes with video lessons - in a few years she achieved her goal and mastered this difficult art. Dancing skills and innate plasticity were useful to her in her career as a singer.

Before becoming popular, Tatyana studied at the Faculty of Economics at Rostov University. Having managed to study for only 3 years, Kotova had a chance to become a model, which she successfully took advantage of.

Modeling career went uphill after the competition for the best model of the South of Russia. She did not receive the first place, but was noticed by the organizers and modeling agencies. After a number of competitions and awards, Tatyana became the winner all-Russian competition beauty Miss Russia in 2006. The girl also took part in the Miss Universe contest, but, unfortunately, she failed to win. In 2007, Kotova took part in the Miss World beauty contest, but again failed.

In 2008, Tatyana tries herself in a new role - a singer. At the casting of performers in the VIA Gra group, she immediately struck with her vocal abilities and the beauty of the producers. Konstantin Meladze, without hesitation, took Tatyana to replace Vera Brezhneva, who left the team. But two years later, she decides to leave the group and pursue a solo career.

In 2016, the performer of the sensational hit "Red on Red" accepted Sergei Kovalev's offer to participate in the Queens group. In which she became the leading soloist.

Olga Romanovskaya

The real name of the singer Koryagina. Olga is reluctant to talk about her family. It is only known that she was born in Ukraine in a provincial town.

In high school, in addition to studying, Romanovskaya attended a modeling school and even became the winner of a beauty contest in the Black Sea region. Olga graduated from the branch of the Kyiv University of Culture and Art, becoming a certified specialist in fabric processing.

In 2006, the aspiring singer Koryagina became one of the soloists of Viagra. But she did not last long in the team and a year later she left the team due to pregnancy.

In 2007, Olga Romanovskaya took up a solo career. In 2015, her first album, Hold Me Tight, was released. Where did clips from such famous directors, as K. Kuzin, V. Maslyaev, E. Timokhin. In total, the album consists of 14 songs. The solo career of the singer did not stop even during the period of performances as part of the Queens group. Also in 2016, Olga, together with Dan Balan, recorded and released the video “Little Raspberries”.

The versatile nature of Romanovskaya could not remain within the narrow framework of pop performance. She tries herself as the host of the Revizorro television program. Despite active work, the singer is the wife and mother of two charming boys.

Santa Dimopoulos

The youngest ex-participant of the Queens, surprisingly is the World champion in bodybuilding. In addition, the girl has a law degree. Her modeling career did not bypass her - 3rd place in the final of the Miss Universe contest in Ukraine.

In 2011, Dimopoulos became one of the members of the VIA Gra group. But a year later he decides to start a solo career and leaves the team. To date, Santa Dimopoulos has released a video for the song “When we move”, which was included in the top 100, according to the Ukrainian TopHit chart, in 2013.

Between November 2016 and April 2017 joined the Queens group, which she then left along with the rest of the participants. The girl leads an active personal life, at least 3 of her "civil" marriages are known. She is raising her son, 9 years old, from the popular presenter Andrey Dzhedzhul.

What girls say about their departure

So far, there are no official comments from the ex-soloists of the Queens group. But Olga Romanovskaya posted an unexpected post on Instagram on April 27. In an appeal to readers, she talks about liberation from the presence of two people in her life - literally: "Predators and plankton", apparently, she means Kotova and Dimopoulos. Figuratively speaking, Olga describes the essence of the conflict that led to the collapse of the composition of the "Korolev". According to her, it turns out that not everything was so smooth in the group and the relationship between the participants is far from friendly.

An emotional post contains accusations of dirty tricks, fouling, gossip, and damage to property. Olga says that there was a fact of hacking her phone and even "someone" spat into her glass.

It is quite easy to combine the publication date (April 27, 2017) and the official announcement of the band's breakup (April 29, 2017). Apparently for Romanovskaya it was last straw in the decision to refuse to participate in a promising project.

Santa on his Instagram also talks about liberation. To avoid the hype, she left the country and went to “clear her mind and body in Marbella. There is a well-known clinic specializing in therapeutic fasting.

Kotova did not react in any way to the posts of other participants and even posted on her page new clip Romanovskaya. However, judging by the cute correspondence of the ex-participants in the same Instagram, it is impossible to judge whether the girls quarreled for sure or not.

Producers PR stunt

Since there is no official information about the replacement of the current line-up of the group, most opinions tend to be a PR move by the producers. A person from the close circle of Sergei Kovalev, who wished to remain anonymous, hinted to journalists that the replacement of the participants was conceived at the initial stage of the project's development.

Really attentive fans have long noticed that the first video of the group consists of cutting a solo video by Tatyana Kotova. She also became the main soloist of the Queens group. The same source confirms that Kotova was a co-producer of the group and even came up with names for it herself. Today, aggressive marketing technologies do not surprise anyone. In order to promote yourself, there is nothing better than making a fuss. Often this is why the columns of articles are constantly filled with scandals and gossip.

Another possible option such a PR move could be the creation or release of a band album. Abroad, such methods are not new and the viewer has long been accustomed to the fact that without official confirmation, the breakup of the group is impossible.

What are these companies for?

The presence of conflict always has a positive effect on the popularity of the group.
Artificially raising interest in musical group may herald the release of a video or a new album

Sergey Kovalenko, at the very beginning of the project, allowed the girls to combine tours and work in a group with a solo career. Therefore, perhaps a PR move is aimed at individual support for girls.

In the new composition of the Queens group, the leading role is occupied by Christina Kotz-Gotlieb. Therefore, the singer's fans are at a loss as to whether the group will permanent place work, or serve as a means of promoting a solo career.

The composition of the group Queens / Queens 2018:

Christina Kotz-Gotlieb,
Olya Leta,
Katya Pechkurova

Former project plans

As promised by the producer, his project still became a bomb. The first performance of the new line-up caused a lot of negative reviews, among fans of the Queens group. Undoubtedly, the main soloist - Christina Kots-Gotlieb does not cause as many negative emotions among fans as the remaining two participants. Fans who watched the performance at the Top Disco Pop concert commented on the members' absolute lack of artistry, poor choreography, lip-synching, and general monotony of the performance. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to judge how successful the new composition of the group will be.

The only thing that remains the same is the sexuality of the participants. Three beautiful girls dressed in the usual ex Viagra mega sexy dresses. Otherwise, they are no different from the previous team. But Queens fans will hope it's just a PR stunt to attract listeners.

Also, some sources report that Sergey Kovalev changed the terms of the contract for new soloists. In the previous version, the girls were allowed not only to pursue a solo career, but there was also no clause on the amount of the penalty for premature termination of the contract.

In particular, Romanovskaya, even at the presentation of the group, boasted of the chic terms of the contract. She noted that not every performer can boast of such favorable conditions. Maybe this is what led to such a rapid collapse.

Opinions on the breakup of the first composition of the Queens group

To the question of journalists about what he thinks former producer participants, Konstantin Meladze replied that he had been waiting for this since the formation of the team. He also noted that the ex-participants of Viagra went through an excellent school with him, but they are unlikely to be able to repeat the previous success with such an attitude as that of Sergey Kovalev to the matter. The lack of a clear image and role for each participant, singing to the soundtrack and frankly weak musical compositions would definitely lead to the breakup of the group. Meladze added that he wishes success and hopes that the girls' solo career will only benefit from the hype around the group.

Miseda Bagaudinova, in every possible way supports her friends "in the shop" and encourages fans, is sympathetic to the decision of the ex-members of the Queens group. Hard tour schedule only performers free from family obligations can endure - Miseda hints at her awareness. Olga has two children and an established marriage. Santa's new marriage and growing son. And Tanya is just about to become a mother.

No matter how it turns out further fate ex-composition, Sergey Kovalev does not intend to close a profitable project, which can always be replenished with new faces. The girl band format is designed for frequent change of participants without sacrificing quality. Therefore, the new composition of the performers and the tour schedule of the Queens group have been approved.

The interest of the Queens group and the composition of the new Queens group cause constant excitement, because the project in the girl band format has completely updated the soloists. The dossier of each of them contains vivid pages of biography, so the victims of the girls' own careers seem incredible. At the same time, the story of each participant is not necessarily connected with singing.

The only thing that remains the same is the sexuality of the participants. Three beautiful girls are dressed in the usual mega sexy dresses for ex Viagra. Otherwise, they are no different from the previous team. But Queens fans will hope it's just a PR stunt to attract listeners.

Opinions on the breakup of the first composition of the Queens group

When asked by journalists about what the former producer of the participants thinks, Konstantin Meladze replied that he had been waiting for this since the formation of the team. He also noted that the ex-participants of Viagra went through an excellent school with him, but they are unlikely to be able to repeat the previous success with such an attitude as that of Sergey Kovalev to the matter. The lack of a clear image and role for each participant, singing to the soundtrack and frankly weak musical compositions would definitely lead to the breakup of the group. Meladze added that he wishes success and hopes that the girls' solo career will only benefit from the hype around the group.

Miseda Bagaudinova, in every possible way supports her friends "in the shop" and encourages fans, is sympathetic to the decision of the ex-members of the Queens group. A tough touring schedule can only be sustained by performers free from family obligations - Miseda hints at her awareness. Olga has two children and an established marriage. Santa has a new marriage and a growing son. And Tanya is just about to become a mother.

No matter how the fate of the ex-roster turns out, Sergey Kovalev does not intend to close a profitable project that can always be replenished with new faces. The girl band format is designed for frequent change of participants without sacrificing quality. Therefore, the new composition of the performers and the tour schedule of the Queens group have been approved.

Whatever term is applied to the Queen group - cult, legendary, most popular - everyone will accurately reflect the attitude of fans and critics towards her. The musical team has long become a classic, if I may say so about a team that performs music in the style of hard and pop rock combined with glam and jazz.

History of creation

The idea "Shouldn't we create our own group" first came to the minds of students at Imperial College London and Timothy Staffel. The guys named the newly-minted team "1984", inspired by a dystopian novel. In college, on an ad, the guys found themselves a drummer, Roger Meddows Taylor.

In October 1964, the musicians gave their first concert, and three years later they managed to perform as an opening act for a beginner and little known. Then the group changed its name to "Smile" and received a pass to the same stage with the famous.

In 1969, the first serious contract with a major record label, Mercury Records, followed. "Smile" managed to release the single "Earth / Step On Me", which, however, went unnoticed.

In the spring of 1970, Staffel left the group. They did not look for a replacement for long, they found it in the person of Tim's roommate Farrukh Bulsara. And since the composition was updated, the friends began to think about a new name. The options of "Grand Dance", then "RICH KIDS" were considered, but in the end Farrukh convinced everyone to take "Queen" as the name. Bulsara himself named himself.

Freddie, in addition to being a good singer, turned out to be an excellent manager. He had a detailed idea of how to serve musical material how to use the voices of all participants and how to behave on stage. In addition, Mercury, as a graduate of an art college, came up with corporate logo groups.

Compound

The main backbone of Queen at the dawn of their musical career was frontman Freddie Mercury, he also played keyboards, guitarist Brian May, and Roger Taylor sat at the drums.

Before joining the group that later became a cult group, the biographies of each one were almost the same - each one's life was connected in one way or another with music. Brian picked up a guitar at the age of 7, and the instrument, made from pieces of furniture and a fireplace, is no less famous than its owner.

Roger started playing guitar with the Bubblingover Boys in high school. drum set moved only in 1961. He performed in the Cousin Jacks group, aka FALCONS. After its breakup, he moved to Johnny Quale & Reaction.

While still at school, Freddie made a band called The Hectics with friends and performed at dances and holidays. After moving to London, he sang in the Liverpool "Ibex" and "Sour Milk Sea", then created his own group "Wreckage".

The search for a bass player in Queen dragged on for a year. At first it was Mike Grose from Johnny Quale & Reaction, but after 4 months he left. He was replaced by Barry Mitchell, with whom the band worked until January 1971. Then Doug Bogy played a couple of concerts with musicians. And only the fourth attempt was successful: John Deacon joined the team.

Before Queen, John had formed his first group, The Opposition, as a teenager, and in the new team, as a technically competent comrade, he became responsible for the equipment. In the group, all the members were engaged in songwriting, but Deacon was the least of all.

However, all of his compositions turned into 100% hits: “I want to break free”, “Another One Bites the Dust”, “You’re My Best Friend”. By the way, after the death of Mercury, John refused to continue creative activity and participation in Queen projects. Moreover, the bass player condemned the remake of the hit "We Are The Champions", performed by the remaining members of the group in collaboration with.

Music

In the summer of 1972, QUEEN recorded a two-song demo at London's De Lane Lea Studios, "The night comes down" and "Liar". Then, through the mediation of Trident, she signed a contract and received the right to record a full-length album, but only at a time when the studio was free.

The guys had to dodge, as they continued to receive education and earn extra money. The label put forward one more condition: along with the Queen record, they should record songs of other artists supervised by Dee Lane Lee. By the end of the year, somehow managed to sign a contract with one of the world's largest companies Electric & Music Industries, release the debut single "Keep Yourself Alive", and after - the album.

Notable fame, as well as financial well-being, neither the song nor the album "Queen" brought, although in the United States the circulation of the disc was 150 thousand copies, the group began to go on tour abroad. After the musicians performed as the opening act for the rock band Mott the Hoople, the band had its own army of fans.

Seven Seas Of Rhye by Queen

The situation changed with the album "Queen II" and the composition "Seven Seas Of Rhye", which hit the UK Top 5 and Top 10 respectively. Classic hard rock was replaced by polyphony, some pomposity of performance and pump rock. Nevertheless, the disc, conceptually divided into "black" and "white" sides, became the "heaviest" in the band's discography. Only in the homeland of the musicians, the album sold 250 thousand copies.

World fame, and in the absence of advertising, was brought by the third "studio" - "Sheer Heart Attack", on which, among others, the first hit "Killer Queen" was recorded. Now Queen itself has gone on an overseas tour.

However, to the surprise of the press and fans, the band didn't make any money from the sales of the album, moreover, strangely, they owed the record company six figures. EMI is trying to extinguish the scandal and allocates funds for Queen to pay off her daughter, Trident, but the group must return the entire amount.

As Roger and Brian later said, there was only one way out - to record a landmark album, the further existence of the band depended on it. And the next single "Bohemian Rhapsody", considered by some music reviewers the best composition group, rises to the top of the charts.

Bohemian Rhapsody song by Queen

At first, the radio stations refused to air the six-minute song, only the DJ Freddie knew took the risk. Filmed for Bohemian Rhapsody, the video is considered the progenitor of the clip industry. The album “A Night At The Opera”, the most diverse genre, expects no less success.

The follow-up "A Day at the Races" in some part resembled its predecessor, for which it was subjected to unprecedented criticism, but the song "Somebody to Love" from it became another hit. Pre-order, to the delight of managers, amounted to 500 thousand copies.

The song We Will Rock You by Queen

Along with the "News of the World" album, the army of fans, by that time numbering in the millions, received two Queen anthems - the compositions "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You". The album for the first time shows an unusual combination of punk and Mercury's vocals.

"Studio" "Jazz" had nothing to do with jazz, but was also distinguished by the diversity of styles. The album included the hit "Don" t Stop Me Now". The songs "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Bicycle Race" caused a wave of public outrage, the performers were accused of immorality and almost distributing pornography.

"Queen" did not remain in debt and held an enchanting presentation with the participation of strippers, wrestlers, fire-eaters. Clips were shot for all three songs. In 1981, the band recorded the soundtrack for the Dino De Laurentiis horror film Flash Gordon. Under the same name, the ninth studio album was released.

The albums "Live Killers", "The Works" with a clear electropop sound rose to the European and American tops. Critics called the Hot Space record a disappointment and only paid attention to the collaboration with David Bowie Under pressure. Six songs from the album "A Kind Of Magic" became soundtracks for films. With Mercury's solo album "Barcelona" music world introduced to the crossover genre.

The Show Must Go On song by Queen

In 1991, Freddie's creative testament was released - the song "The Show Must Go On".

After the death of the leader, the group works in the Queen + format, participates in charity events. To go on the same stage with a world legend was considered an honor by both Robbie Williams and. Compilations and remastered albums are still popular. And on the page "Queen" in "Instagram" the names of all the members are listed and it is said that "they play rock 'n' roll".

The group continues to perform in various collaborations. The official website for the summer of 2018 announced the European tour of Queen and.
