Freddie Mercury
Freddie Mercury was born in Farrokh Bulsara on
September 5th 1946, he was a British singer and songwriter who achieved
worldwide fame as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen.
Regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history
of rock music, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave
vocal range. Mercury defied the conventions of a rock frontman with his
theatrical style, influencing the artistic direction of Queen.
Freddie Mercury was 1.79 meters tall, weighed 81.6
kilograms and had dark brown eyes. Furthermore, they were able to conclude that
at his most eccentric stage, the leader of Queen pushed his vocal system to the
limit. In the images they found a strange physical phenomenon called
subharmony, similar to Tuvan throat singing.
He could be a diva, he was very funny but he could
also be very closed and very shy. He brought out the inner rock star in him on
stage, and off stage he preferred a quiet life.
In the early 1970s, Mercury had a long-term
relationship with Mary Austin, whom he met through guitarist Brian May. Austin,
born in Fulham, London, met Mercury in 1969 when she was 19 and he was 24 years
old, a year before Queen had formed
On November 24, 1991, Mercury died at the age of 45.
His official cause of death was bronchopneumonia complicated by AIDS. Although
he was not a religious person, his funeral was conducted by a Zoroastrian
priest.
