Remembering the Man "Born to Love You"

 

On November 24, 1991 the world lost one of the greatest musical voices of all times with the passing of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer for the group Queen. 

An energetic and entertaining showman, Freddie Mercury is often referred to as "the voice," possessed a very distinctive voice. His remarkable voice covered a span of nearly four octave range allowing him to sing in both the baritone and tenor ranges.

He is considered by many to be one of the greatest vocalists in contemporary music, voted one of the top 22 voices of all time by MTV (second only to Mariah Carey) in 2005 and most recently the "greatest rock legend of all time" by UK fans.

Take a few minutes to remember the man responsible for writing one of the greatest songs of all time "Bohemian Rhapsody" and being part of one of the world's best-selling music artists with the group Queen.

While you're remembering Freddie, check how you can Sponsor a Star for Freddie Mercury and benefit the Mercury Phoenix Trust. See the information below.
