Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon are still alive from the iconic rock band Queen. Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991.
To clarify, the core and most recognizable members of Queen were Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals), and John Deacon (bass). With Freddie Mercury's passing, the remaining three members have continued to keep Queen's legacy alive through various projects and performances.
Here's a breakdown:
- Brian May: The guitarist and astrophysicist is still actively involved in music, often performing with Queen + Adam Lambert.
- Roger Taylor: The drummer and vocalist also remains active in the music scene and continues to perform with Queen + Adam Lambert.
- John Deacon: The bassist retired from public life in the late 1990s and prefers to remain out of the spotlight. While he technically remains a member of Queen, he does not participate in any of their current activities.
- Freddie Mercury: Sadly, the legendary frontman passed away in 1991 due to complications from AIDS.
In summary, while all four original members contributed significantly to Queen's success, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon are the surviving members.
