Lover of Life - Singer of Songs

Freddie Mercury, lead singer for the Rock Band Queen, was once quoted as saying that he didn't want to be a rock star, he wanted to be a legend. While alive, Freddie Mercury was known as an entertaining and energetic rock star. Since his death at the fairly young age of 45, he has become a legend.

Freddie Mercury is considered by many to be one of the greatest vocalists in contemporary music. His remarkable voice covered a span of nearly four octave range allowing him to sing in both the baritone and tenor ranges.

As the lead singer for Queen and also as a solo artist, Freddie Mercury created and performed technically complex songs blending several different styles of music from heavy metal and rock to disco, opera and ballads. His wide range of styles appealed to millions of fans around the world.

Even though it has been nearly 17 years since his death, the Music of Queen and the legacy of Freddie Mercury live on through the incredible music. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Three reasons to love or admire Freddie Mercury 

  1. His remarkable, versatile voice.
  2. His charismatic, entertaining style.
  3. His death broke the silence surrounding AIDS.

Remembering Freddie Mercury and Queen 

For me the music of Queen and Freddie Mercury are the songs that I grew up with in high school and college. "We Will Rock You," "We Are the Champions," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Somebody to Love," "Radio Ga Ga," "You're My Best Friend," "A Kind of Magic," "Who Wants to Live Forever," and "Princes of the Universe" are just some of the many songs I remember from this time.

Hearing these songs takes me back to those times.

Freddie Mercury at a Glance 

Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara) (5 September 1946 ? 24 November 1991) was a British musician, best known as the frontman of the rock band Queen. As a performer, he was known for his vocal prowess and flamboyant performances.Dance: Deux the fandango.RollingStone.com - 100 Greatest Singers of All Time....

Freddie Mercury's Death Increased Global AIDS Awareness 

Freddie Mercury only died one day after releasing a statement that he had AIDS and encouraged fans to pick up the fight. "I hope that everyone will join with my doctors and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease."

I was affected by the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991 because it came within a few months after I'd lost several patients to AIDS as a young medical student, so his death has always been linked to the deaths of my AIDS patients.

His death occurred during the time when the medical community was still learning how to treat this devastating disease: it was a time when so many people, especially young men, were dying quickly from opportunistic infections and were dying much too young. The only thing medicine could offer many of them was hospice or end of life care to support them and keep them comfortable during their last days.

This lens remembers the life of Freddie Mercury and commemorates all of those who died too young during the medical community learned how to treat the AIDS virus and those who have died since in the 25 years that AIDS as been identified as a disease.

Freddie Mercury - "AIDS changed my life" 

AIDS changed my life. I have stopped going out, I've become almost a nun. I was extremely promiscuous, but I've stopped all that. What's more, I don't miss that kind of life. Anyone who has been promiscuous should have an AIDS test. I'm fine, I'm clear."

It wouldn't be too long before we would discover that this statement (about being clear) wasn't entirely true.

Freddie Mercury's Last Public Statement - November 23, 1991 

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.

Freddie Mercury A Winter's Tale on YouTube 

A Winter's Tale was the last song composed entirely by Freddie Mercury that he recorded. The song was inspired as he sat staring out the windows of their recording studio at Lake Geneva. Freddie recorded the vocals and keyboards for the song and completed the last verse only a few weeks before he died.

The last words of the song are "It's Bliss."

This sentiment is a beautiful one for someone in their final days realizing how close he was to the end of his life, that hopefully he had found a sense of peace, tranquility and bliss.

Defining Moment in a Legend's Life...Their Death 

The defining moment in any legend's life is their death. Before a great person dies, they are simply the fodder of gossip columns across the world, a temporary starlet just like all the others.

After they are gone, a haunting shadow and a deep reverence hangs over their name forever. Past mistakes are forgotten, unsuccessful projects become masterpieces and their life story is viewed as if it were an ancient Greek tragedy, a fable or an urban myth.

Freddie's Death Broke the Silence Around AIDS 

AIDS Became Something the World Needed to Acknowlege

Ironically, since he had been declared HIV positive, he had striven to keep his condition a secret and to ensure that no shame could come upon his family, yet his death helped to open the doors for debate worldwide. AIDS was no longer a stigma, a gay plague, a shame.

His death took AIDS from being 'something other people have' to something the whole world needed to wise up to. In every tribute to the great man, from concerts to singles, books to t-shirts, AIDS awareness was ever present.

When Mercury died, the silence surrounding AIDS died with him.

The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness on Wikipedia 

The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness was an open-air concert held on Easter Monday, 20 April 1992 at London's Wembley Stadium, televised live worldwide to an estimated audience of 1.2 billion viewers. The concert was a tribute to the life of the late Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury, with all proceeds going to AIDS research. The show marked bassist John Deacon's final concert with Queen (save one live appearance with Brian May, Roger Taylor and Elton John in 1997).

It was first available as a free download in time for the Worlds AIDS HIV benefit concert.

The track, Taylor's "Say It's Not True" originally came to light for the launch of the 46664 campaign back in November 2003. Taylor wrote the song as a gift to Mandela and performed it live for him for the first time with Brian May and Dave Stewart at the inaugural 46664 concert in Cape Town that month. The song carries the message that HIV AIDS is something that can affect any one of us no matter our sexual or racial status.
