Another One Bites The Dust was the band at their peak. Besides being a #1 song in the States, the single alone sold 6 million copies. The song was in the top 5 for 13 weeks!!!
I was in 5th grade and people would sing it in school and play it on their tape recorders. It was or one of the biggest songs of 1980.
They also were huge with We Are The Champions years earlier. Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson were quite close and it was supposed to be Freddie on the Duet "State of Shock" But Freddie soon discovered how weird Michael was when Freddie called his agent to get him out of Michaels recording studio because he said "he brought a freaking lama in the studio."

Wildest story I heard about Freddie was from Leif Garret. When Leif was breaking and touring the world at 16 he stopped in Munich. Queen was in town and Leif saw them walk through the hotel lobby. Leiff said he was in awe and then in shock that Freddie Mercury knew who he was? How did he find out? When Leif got back to the hotel, the front desk said he had a package. It was an envelope from Freddie Mercury. Lief could not believe that he knew who he was. He went back to his room and there was a gram of cocaine in the envelope. You gotta love the 1970s!!!!!
Freddie must of had the hots for Leif. The story is so cool you gotta hear it. Leif also has a story of being hit on by Michael Jackson.
