- Lead singer FREDDIE MERCURY died of AIDS last November,
- but record sales of his rock group Queen are still going
- strong. A reissue of the band's quirky 1975 single Bohemian
- Rhapsody (currently featured in the hit movie Wayne's World) is
- a best seller in both the U.S. and Britain, while three of
- Queen's old albums are now on the Billboard oldies chart. This
- week many of the singer's rock cohorts will gather at London's
- Wembley Stadium for "A Concert for Life," which will be
- televised worldwide to benefit AIDS research. One of the people
- who anticipated the huge resurgence in Queen's popularity was
- Mercury himself, who is said to have recorded enough new
- material with band mates before his death to fill three albums.
