Where Queen stand live today
Freddie Mercury died in 1991 in London, ending the original classic lineup's touring years. Today, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor perform as Queen + Adam Lambert, a collaboration with the American singer that has led to several large-scale tours since 2012.
The Queen Extravaganza production, conceived by Roger Taylor as an official tribute show, is separate from Queen + Adam Lambert and features a dedicated cast performing the songs rather than the original band members, according to the production description on the show's website.
The sound and scope of Queen's work
Queen's catalog spans hard rock, theatrical pop and stadium-ready anthems, marked by multi-layered vocal harmonies, intricate guitar work and stylistic shifts that move from progressive rock to disco and synth-driven pop.
Among the key albums are A Night at the Opera (1975), which contains the multi-part single Bohemian Rhapsody, the more streamlined rock set News of the World (1977) with We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, and the later compilation Greatest Hits (1981), which became the band's definitive anthology.
