Queen es una banda de rock clásico creada en Londres, Inglaterra en 1970. Su formación clásica fue liderada por el ya fallecido Freddie Mercury tras la ruptura del grupo Smile, banda de donde provienen Roger Taylor y Brian May en compañía de Tim Sttaffel. A mediados de 1971 se uniría como bajista John Deacon, quien se retiraría de la banda poco después de la muerte de Freddie. Actualmente la banda solo está conformada por Roger Taylor y Brian May.
