And as for the future? Well, on top of a prospective exciting new
album, currently Lebanese-American, British-based pop singer
Mika is riding high in the UK charts with his Mercury-esque
vocals, and Queen-like lyrical stylings, showing, once and for all,
that great bands never fall out of fashion.
Has any British band ever had as much impact on the face
of innovative rock music in the twentieth century as Queen
have? Well, it’s certainly arguable – one can look at the likes of
Led Zeppelin and Blur, to name but two – but surely there has
never been a band as exuberant, excitable and flamboyant as the
Mercury-led quartet, whose humble beginnings took in cold, dank
pubs across the length and breadth of England, and who ended up
playing glamorous venues all over the world. Queen are as much
an inspiration for up-and-coming bands today as they were in their
late 1970s heyday.
