Baker died at his home in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. on April 12, but his family just announced his death on Tuesday, April 22.
Among Baker’s crowning achievements was his production of Queen’s 1975 classic rock-opera “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which continues to be popular today, holding the title of the most-streamed song recorded in the 20th century and the top British single of all time, according to The Guinness Book of World Records.
Born in Hampstead, London, Baker began his career working as an engineer on recordings by David Bowie, the Who, the Rolling Stones and others, before eventually moving into the producer’s chair when he helped an unknown band called Queen become international superstars, producing five of their albums, including such landmark records as A Night at the Opera and Jazz.
He also worked as a senior VP of A&R for Elektra Records, where he signed such acts as Metallica, Simply Red, 10,000 Maniacs and others.
Baker is survived by his wife Tere Livrano Baker and brother Alan Baker.
