* In 1991, Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury died at his home in London one day after revealing that he was stricken by AIDS. He was 45. Queen's elaborate and bombastic songs were scorned by the critics but hailed by fans in the late 1970s. The band is best known in North America for their two No. 1 hits in 1980, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Another One Bites the Dust.
