Our musician for the month of October is Queen! 

It’s safe to say Queen have left a mark on the music world. Their music is long lasting and impactful, partly due to the unique personalities of the band members. Queen believed in pushing the limits and creating a new definition of what was considered mainstream. They often challenged the status quo of what a song was supposed to be like and they were often rejected for doing so. For a song “certain to fail” according to record company execs, Bohemian Rhapsody became the third most popular song in the history of the British charts based on sales, having reached the #1 spot in two separate decades. They still have impact today with that the film ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ was made in 2018 all about the lead singer Freddie Mercury and his rise to becoming one of history’s most beloved entertainers.

The reason to celebrate Queen is because they understood that through collaboration and resilience, they could achieve virtually anything they wanted to, the individual members sacrificed a certain level of personal fame and fortune for a lasting legacy for the band as a whole.
