I have a lot of Queen saved for this blog. So very much, but I could either do it all in one week or space it out and because I don't have any plan of ending this blog soon, I figured spacing it out would be better, so here is one Queen song for today. So Queen is a British rock band that can only be thought of as legends. Most people already know the band, and know about Freddie Mercury. The members include Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon, and Freddie Mercury. Mercury is the one who coined the name of the band, and also made the crest logo which included the zodiacs of each band member.They had released two albums within the first four years, then their tour got cancelled when one member fell ill so they started their third album instead. They toured and made more albums throughout the 70's, then this song was released in 1980. They worked like crazy and released tons of albums, continuing even when Mercury's health started to decline. He denied the illness throughout the whole ordeal, focusing on recording as much as possible. In 1991 though, he released a statement confirming he was dying from AIDS. Within 24 hours he was gone. The tribute concert was held the next year and raised over £20,000,000 for AIDS charities. They released another album with Mercury posthumously, and after that continued performing and releasing music as Queen + whatever singer they were performing with at the time. Which is honestly a lovely tribute to their friend. So there you have it guys, an overview for this song. Enjoy.
Peace.
