Queen to appear on UK postage stamps

Queens are already there, but for the Queen it is a first one - the rock band are to feature on a series of UK postage stamps over the summer, Ultimate Classic Rock reports. The 13 stamp designs, going on sale from 9 July, feature a posed studio shot of the group, plus four live images of each of Brian May, Roger Taylor, frontman Freddie Mercury and bassist John Deacon, and album covers of 'Queen II', 'Sheer Heart Attack', 'A Night at the Opera', 'News of the World', 'The Game', 'Greatest Hits', 'The Works', and 'Innuendo'. They become only the third band to be honoured by Royal Mail, following the Beatles in 2007 and Pink Floyd in 2016. Drummer Roger Taylor said: “We must be really part of the furniture now”.
