In 1964, his family fled the Zanzibar Revolution, moving to Middlesex, England. Having studied and written music for years, he formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.

Darla Dirladada
"Darla dirladada" is a song recorded by French singer Dalida, first released on single during summer of 1970. It was a #1 hit in France. The song is based on Greek folk song "Dirlada" (Greek: ), originating from the island of Kalymnos in Greece. Origins It was conceived as a song that sponge divers would sing when traveling with their ''caïque'' boats across the seas. The song's lyrics contain words of encouragement and the opportunity awaiting the crew. One of the most notable recordings is that performed by Pantelis Ginnis, a Kalymnian sponge diver captain, who, in his version, is making a reference to another respected diver captain, Manolis (Emmanuel) Theodosiou, whose nickname was 'Kobalis'. Ginnis, in his version, relates the time Kobalis walked into a coffee shop where Ginnis was singing Darla dirladada. Modern versions Dionysis Savvopoulos sang "Dirlada" on his 1969 album ''To Perivoli tou Trelou''. In 1970 the song was recorded by French singer Dalida. It was r ...
