Queen make a pile of Freddies

QUEEN released The Show Must Go On six weeks before the death of Freddie Mercury...and money earned by the band over two years proves it has.

Surviving members Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon raked in £89million in 2021 and 2022, and paid themselves £30m from their company Queen Productions Ltd.

The dividend in 2022 was £12,906,351 and in 2021 it was £17,066,000, split between them as directors.

The latest annual accounts revealed that in 2022 the band made a profit before tax of £22.2m, up from £16.8m in the previous year.
