Queen | Royal Mail Queen FDC

Description

Issue Date: 9th July

Description:

A set of stamps to celebrate one of the UK’s greatest music legends on the 50th anniversary of its formation, Queen. With over three decades’ worth of hits to their name it is not surprising that there is a Queen song for everybody. What is extraordinary however, is the fact that the time they spent with their iconic frontman, Freddie Mercury, has been eclipsed by the time since he sadly passed away, yet the band remains as popular as ever. Queen formed in 1970 (though John Deacon didn’t join until 1971) and signed their first recording contract for EMI in 1973, releasing their first album, Queen, the same year.
