In the realm of rock royalty, a quartet from London rose to fame with an operatic flair and a penchant for theatrical performances. They invited listeners to a rhapsody that became a timeless anthem, blending rock with classical influences. Their anthemic chorus champions those who ride bicycles through city streets, and the show must always go on, no matter the challenges faced. With a kind of magic, they turned the mundane into the extraordinary, transforming stadiums into realms of pure musical delight.

Who are these regal rockers that have captured the hearts of generations?

Can you decipher the enigma of their lyrics and melodies and uncover the identity of this iconic band?

Till next time, Keep Rocking

Much love from Sunny Cape Town, @Mimismartypants
