If you asked me what my favorite band is, automatically you’d hear me say, “Queen.” Along with many other fans! Queen is a rock band dating back all the way to the 70’s and is still popular today! Have you ever been to a sports game? Guaranteed at some point you will hear the song “We Will Rock You!” Queen may be one of the most iconic bands that ever lived.
Queen has made so many hit songs that they made not one, not two, but three albums of their hits! Can you imagine? Thats over two and half hours of Queen! You may have even heard of some without even realizing it! “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Somebody To Love,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” and my personal favorite, “Fat Bottomed Girls.” But let me tell you about their main writer, the singer himself. Freddie Mercury!
Freddie Mercury was born September 5, 1946, in Zanzibar, Tanzania. He was a skilled musician and studied piano in St. Peter’s boarding school in India. Fun fact about Freddie was that he wasn't straight! He was bi-sexual, and he was confortable with it, but eventually he died of bronchial pneumonia, resulting from AIDS, on November 24, 1991, at the early age of 45, at his home in London. He was dearly missed, and on November 6th, 1995, the remaining 3 band members of Queen, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor, released the album Made In Heaven, as a tribute to his memory.
