In 2001, Queen received the highest honor that’s equivalent to an athlete going to the hall of fame. The British rock group found themselves among the many greats at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But, in fairness, Mercury received some posthumous awards.
In 1992, he won the Birt Award for Outstanding Contributions to Britsh music. He was included in the hall of fame with his bandmates in 2001but that’s not all. In 2003, the Songwriters Hall of Fame selected Mercury as one of their inductees and he’s enshrined at the UK Music Hall of Fame.
