Queen quickly became a staple in a bandwagoner's world. Mainstream brands commonly put their logo on t-shirts as a selling point. The band released 14 albums (way too many) altogether until Freddie Mercury died. They did try and get back together with another singer later on, but that proved to be a bad move.
