Queen are an English rock band formed in 1970 in London by guitarist Brian May; lead vocalist Freddie Mercury; and drummer Roger Taylor. Bass guitarist John Deacon joined the following year; completing the band as it would remain until Mercurys death on November 24; 1991. It is uncertain how many albums the band has sold; but estimations range from 130 million to over 300 million albums worldwide.Following Mercurys death in 1991 and Deacons retirement later in the decade; May and Taylor have performed infrequently under the Queen name. Since 2005 they have been collaborating with Paul Rodgers; under the moniker Queen + Paul Rodgers. "The Millionaire Waltz" was written by Mercury about John Reid (Queen's and Elton John's manager at the time)[citation needed]. It's another multi-key and multi-metre song like Bohemian Rhapsody, using abrupt arrangement changes and including Brian May doing multi-tracked guitar choirs.
[edit] You and I
"You And I" is John Deacon's song on the album. It features him on acoustic guitar and Mercury playing Elton John-esque piano parts. It's arguably Deacon's only dark sounding song on any album. This song was never.
