That was when Brian May and Tim Staffell, studentsat the Imperial College in London, decided to establish their own group. To find a drummer, Brian decided to hang an announcement in the college. At him announcement responded Roger Taylor, who was studying there at the medical faculty. They faund the group, known as SMILE. QEEN FOUNDING
A year after its founding, Smile and “Mercury Records” signed a contract and at the same time they first enrolled in the recording studio – “Trident Studios”. In 1969 was published the first and the last album titled Getting Smile, and in Japan was released a single Polar Bear. At that time  this event has gone unnoticed. It was at this time when Tim Staffell presented the group to  Bulsara, with whom he studied at Ealing College of Art. Freddie took to Smile at once. However, in 1970, the group members decided that they have no future, so Tim moved to another group – Humpy Bong. However, Freddie at the same time leaved the band “Wreckage”  and joined Brian and Roger. At this point began the legend under the name QUEEN. from Freddie Bulsara changed his name to Freddie Mercury, and the band’s name – to QUEEN. Soon the band gave its first concert in the College Kingston Polytechnic (London).
The fourth member – John Deacon – joined in February 1971, after the band changed six temporary bass guitarists.
