Changes q q Since 1980 they include electro music instruments in “Another one bites the dust” and “Called love”. From 1980 to 1989 they do a lot of concerts, one of their biggest concerts was in Rio about 325000 went there. In 1991, Freddy Mercury died from AIDS. Now the group still exists, with a new member Paul Rodgers
“We will rock you” v v v The song is the answer to the concert in Stafford in 1977. The people started to sing “You'll never walk alone” and the group decided to create a song which people can sing after the concerts. The group uses the technic of the re-recording to make the sounds of the claps and flaps during the song. Now “We will rock you” is still a great hit of the group “Queen”.
