Queen is a British rock band whose classic, world‑famous lineup was four members:

  • Freddie Mercury – lead vocals and piano, primary frontman and writer of many of their biggest songs like “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Are the Champions.”
  • Brian May – guitarist and vocalist, co‑founder of the band, known for his distinctive layered guitar sound and songwriting.
  • Roger Taylor – drummer and vocalist, also a founding member, contributed both powerful drumming and high backing vocals.
  • John Deacon – bassist, last to join the classic lineup, wrote hits like “Another One Bites the Dust” and anchored the band’s rhythm section.

If by “who was in Queen” you meant the original, famous version of the band, these four are the members people usually refer to.
