Harrison said, "'Taxman' was when I first realised that even though we had started earning money, we were actually giving most of it away in taxes. It was and still is typical."[4] The Beatles' large earnings placed them in the top tax bracket in the United Kingdom, liable to a 95% supertax introduced by Harold Wilson's Labour government.[5] In a 1984 interview with Playboy magazine, Paul McCartney agreed: "George wrote that and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what he'll do with your money."

Those taxes are responsible for many tragedies.
For example, to avoid taxes, the rock group Queen stayed in France for more than 6 months and the disco music there encouraged them to move from real instruments to synth.

Never heard anything like that.
The disco-est song I can think of by Queen is Radio Ga Ga:

No France factor discernible.

Another one Bites the Dust? Under Pressure with Bowie?
I love Queen. Freddy had an amazing voice and stage presence.
