When Freddie Mercury Went Out in Public

Показать описание
Freddie Mercury is best known as one of the rock world's most versatile and engaging performers and for his mock operatic masterpiece, "Bohemian Rhapsody." Singer-songwriter Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara on September 5, 1946, in Zanzibar, Tanzania. He studied piano in boarding school in India and befriended numerous musicians at London's Ealing College of Art. The music of Mercury's band, Queen, reached the top of U.S. and British charts. Mercury died of AIDS-related bronchial pneumonia on November 24, 1991, at age 45.

In addition to his talents as a singer and songwriter, Mercury was also a skilled showman. He knew how to entertain audiences and how to connect with them. He liked to wear costumes — often featuring skintight spandex — and strutted around the stage, encouraging fans to join in the fun. Artistic in nature, Mercury was also actively involved in designing the art for many of the group's albums.

Offstage, Mercury was open about his bisexuality, but he kept his relationships private. He also lived a lavish lifestyle. He loved champagne and liked to collect art, once spending more than $400,000 on a set of hand-painted china. Always one for a party, Mercury threw himself elaborate celebrations; for one particular birthday he flew a group of friends to the island of Ibiza. The occasion was marked by fireworks and flamenco dancing.

On November 23, 1991, Mercury released a statement: "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." The next day, he died from AIDS-related bronchial pneumonia at his London mansion. Mercury was only 45 years old.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018 biographical film about the British rock band Queen) has grossed over $401 million worldwide on a production budget of about $50 million. It is the highest-grossing musical biographical film of all time. The film received mixed reviews from critics; its portrayals of Mercury's life and sexuality and of the other band members were criticised, but Rami Malek's performance and the music sequences received praise. Several historical inaccuracies were also highlighted.

Queen's Greatest Hits (released worldwide on 26 October 1981) was an instant success, peaking at number one on the UK Albums Chart for four weeks. It has spent 833 weeks in the UK Charts, and is the best-selling album of all time in the UK, selling over six million copies. It is certified eight times platinum in the United States, and is Queen's most commercially successful album worldwide with over 25 million copies sold, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien hailed the UK edition of Greatest Hits as "impeccable" and "absolutely genius", while British journalist Brian Viner called it the greatest album of all time.

I remember the day he died our school teacher didn’t come to school for a week and our school played his music in the restaurant, during our lunch. Back then I was 12 years old and I remember how badly I cried. He is a legend... too bad the new generation will never experience such a thing. 😔😔😔 R.I.P. Freddie

Dá pra perceber que ele era uma pessoa de muitos amigos e de agradável companhia. E tinha um olhar sincero e que transmitia bondade.

wow that scene with him in that yellow sweat outfit practicing to an empty stadium knowingly that he's going to give his fans his whole is absolutely priceless and what a gem of a human FREDDY MERCURY was to his fans! Forever your fan QUEEN! Did you all catch that scene, goosebumps! I honestly do not think he knew what he did or does for us all! Something so beyond human with him! Electrifying and you cannot get enough of, that is special when a human could be so infectious and affect us all as he did and still does. I CANNOT stop watching him, fully ADDICTED lol :)

Some of us saw him live in concert barely in grade school sneaking out with their older sister and we’re mesmerized and in love with this mans music and still are all these decades later.. he was the ultimate showman on stage and you never ever would forget his performances ... Freddie once said in an interview he didn’t care what people thought of him once he died... but part of me secretly thinks he probably would be laughing somewhere smiling knowing that people still were so interested or better yet, obsessed in his life .... but he clearly would be more ecstatic that we all loved his music and will continue to do so and he has brand new generations of fans while he left us way too soon his music will never die out❤️
