Variety has reported that Sony Music is in the process of acquiring the music catalog of the band QUEEN for £1 billion (around $1.27 billion US).
The deal reportedly covers QUEEN’s songs and all related intellectual property — including the rights to logos, music videos, merchandise, publishing and other business opportunities. The only revenue not covered in the deal is for live performances, which founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor, who still actively tour with singer Adam Lambert, will retain.
