In 1971, after several rounds of auditions, the band brought on John Deacon on bass. Likewise, May and Taylor gave Mercury his stage name. When Mercury joined Smile in 1970, he suggested they change the band’s name to Queen. May was a student at the Imperial College of London and Taylor was a student at East London Polytechnic while they were performing in Smile and the earliest days of Queen. In 1964, his family moved to Middlesex later, Mercury began studying graphic design at Ealing Art College. He spent much of his childhood at boarding school in India where he learned to play piano- beginning at age 7. Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara on the East African island of Zanzibar on September 5, 1946.
Queen was formed in London in the early seventies when Freddie Mercury teamed up with a local band called Smile, which featured Brian May on guitar and Roger Taylor on drums. In 1980, they proved that again, combining the hottest sounds of disco with their signature classic rock sound, they created a track that would captivate generation of musicians and listeners alike - “Another One Bites the Dust” From glam rock to soul, rhythm and blues to opera – nothing seemed off limits. From its inception in the early seventies, Queen was known for its ability to transform itself and bring together diverse and eclectic soundworlds.
