The lead singer and pianist of the godly band, Queen. He was born in 1946 on Zanzibar, an island off of Africa, with Indian and Persian background, with the name of Farrokh Bulsara. Because of the revolution striking the country at that time, he and his family moved to England where he met Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon. They formed the classic rock and roll band Queen.
Freddie Mercury had, in short, an amazing voice. He had a four-octave range, but prefers to sing in falsetto. However, due to a throat condition, he had to lower these notes when singing live.
Freddie Mercury had faced criticism from the public due to his sexuality (he was bisexual), but kept up an admirable "I don't give a shit" attitude.
In early 1987, tragedy hit the band when Freddie Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS. However, he refused to admit to the public he had the disease. Despite this, Queen released two more albums. The signs of illness were almost impossible to hide during the making of the music videos for the singles I'm Going Slightly Mad and These Are The Days of Our Lives, which were very near the end of Mercury's life.
During the last few days of his life he shut himself in his home and finally sent out a message on November 22, 1991, revealing he had the disease: "Following the enormous conjecture in the press over the last two weeks, I wish to confirm that I have been tested HIV positive and have AIDS. I felt it correct to keep this information private to date to protect the privacy of those around me. However, the time has come now for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth and I hope that everyone will join with my doctors and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease. My privacy has always been very special to me and I am famous for my lack of interviews. Please understand this policy will continue."
A little over twenty-four hours later, Freddie Mercury died peacefully of bronchial pneumonia, but today remains a legend, live in everyone's heart.

Get the Mercury Retrograde mug.A phenomena occuring in the music industry, in which an aspect of a band member's (usually the frontman/woman's) personality, actions, etc. becomes subject to quite a lot of debate among both fans and haters of the band. This would be perfectly alright, except for what inevitably happens is that the debate becomes so overblown that people begin to forget about the music of the band, and all they really know is the trivial feud over the aspect of the frontman/frontwoman. Named after Freddie Mercury, the frontman of the British classic rock band Queen, and Kurt Cobain, the frontman of the early '90s grunge band Nirvana.
Mercury/Cobain Effect:
Nirvana Fan 1: Courtney killed Kurt Cobain!
Nirvana Fan 2: Kurt killed himself!
Nirvana Fan 3: You're both wrong, Kurt is alive and well and hiding out in Winchestertonfieldville even as we speak!
Nirvana Fans 1 and 2: How dare you have an opinion that differs from mine, never mind the fact that it's a free country and everyone has the right to believe whatever they choose!
Nirvana fan with a brain: Guys, can't we just talk about the MUSIC instead of whether or not Kurt killed himself...?
Everyone in room but Nirvana fan with a brain: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD THAT'S SO FRICKIN' FUNNY, YOU SHOULD BECOME A PROFESSIONAL COMEDIAN!!!!
Nirvana fan with a brain: *sigh*
* * *
Queen fan 1: Freddie Mercury was GAY!!!
Queen fan 2: No, he was bisexual!
Queen fan 3: He had a girlfriend and therefore was straight, so both of you shut up!
Queen fan 3: No, he was straight in the 1970s, but in the '80s, for some strange reason unknown to everyone on the planet, became gay!
Queen fan with a brain: Why does Freddie Mercury's orientation matter so much to you guys? He and his band made a lot of great music, and music is the whole reason we listen to Queen in the first place, so can't we just talk about the songs? You know, the whole REASON we all like Queen?
{insert awkward silence here}
Weirdo: Forget that, I think he was TRISEXUAL!!!
Queen fan with a brain: Just...just forget I said anything...*runs off and pounds head against the nearest wall in frustration*
Nirvana Fan 1: Courtney killed Kurt Cobain!
Nirvana Fan 2: Kurt killed himself!
Nirvana Fan 3: You're both wrong, Kurt is alive and well and hiding out in Winchestertonfieldville even as we speak!
