Big clue then, in case Jimmy has to answer: Their original lead singer (and designer of the logo) is now dead.

Must be Queen then...

It is indeed!

The logo of Queen is known as the Queen Crest, and was designed by Mercury. The logo is one of the most recognizable symbols in rock and roll. It includes the zodiac signs of all four members: two lions for Leo (Deacon and Taylor), a crab for Cancer (May), and two fairies for Virgo (Mercury). The lions are holding a large letter Q, with the crab on top of it while on fire, and the fairies below on either side. The whole logo is topped by a phoenix.

Take it away thehut!

Ok, staying with the Phoenix theme...

River Phoenix died outside The Viper Room after ODing on a mixture of Cocaine and Heroin back in 1993. But which Hollywood star co-owned the nightclub?

pretty sure it was depp or slater....I know that Johnny depp found him, he was performing on stage that night.

Joauquin was around too, think it was him that called the ambulance or something.
