Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1970.

They originally consisted


of Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John
Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals).
History
Early days, 196874
In 1968, guitarist Brian May, a student at London's Imperial College, and
bassist Tim Staffell decided to form a band. May placed an advertisement on the
college notice board for a "Mitch Mitchell/Ginger Baker type" drummer; Roger
Taylor, a young dental student, auditioned and got the job. The group called
themselves Smile.[3]
While attending Ealing Art College, Tim Staffell became friends with Farrokh
Bulsara, a fellow student who had assumed the English name of Freddie. Bulsara
felt that he and the band had the same tastes and soon became a keen fan of
Smile. In late 1970, after Staffell left to join the band Humpy Bong, the remaining
Smile members, encouraged by Bulsara, changed their name to "Queen" and
continued working together.

Music styles
Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy
metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly
works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock, into their
music.
