Freddie Mercury (9/5/1946-11/24/1991), Born Farrokh Bulsara, was the lead singer of the English rock band Queen, an AIDS awareness figure, and one of the most well-known queer music artists of all time (he was bisexual). Known for his 3-octave voice range covering F♯2 to G5, he was an influential factor in the rock genre of the 70s. As a member of Queen, he was inducted postmortem into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003. Mercury died on November 24, 1991 at the age of 45 years old due to complications from Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). His legacy and work for raising awareness for HIV and AIDS have been carried on by the Mercury Phoenix Trust, so we ask that you please support the cause and/or donate if you can.

The wrong way to spell Freddie Mercury, who was the greatest singer of all time. Unfortunately, he died of AIDS in 1991.

Born Farookh Bulsara in Zanzibar on September 5th, 1946, Mercury was the lead singer of the legendary rock band Queen, said to be second in popularity and collectibility in the UK next to the Beatles. Known as the greatest frontman that ever lived, and a homosexual, he was among rock's first AIDS casualties. He died on November 24th, 1991, but is still remembered today by his serenading voice and powerful lyrics.
Freddie Mercury's rock opera, 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' is quite possibly the official headbanger's anthem.

One of the greatest rock legends of the 20th century. Of course, the homophobes will just bitch about him being gay. Funny how the first thing they notice is how someone is gay, most people don't look. maybe they're looking for others in the closet.
