    Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara in Stone Town, in the British protectorate of Zanzibar (now part of Tanzania), on September 5, 1946. His first big challenge was to come to terms with being sent away to boarding school, near Bombay in India, when he was still a young boy. Though he said that being sent away from his parents and beloved sist...

    After his family moved to the UK in the 60s, Mercury went to Ealing Art School, in London, where he earned a diploma in graphics. At first, he tried to pursue a career in that field and sought to use his education for work. “I got my diploma and then I thought I’d chance it as a freelance artist. I did it for a couple of months but then I thought, ...

    After spending time in some small bands, including Sour Milk Sea and Ibex, Mercury eventually hooked up with students Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon – and they decided to form the band Queen. Mercury has always been honest about the difficulties that faced them – in common with all young bands in the early 70s – when trying to start out i...

    One of the key experiences near the start of Queen’s career was their American tour in 1973, when they were the warmup band for Mott The Hoople. “Being the support act was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life,” said Mercury. “When you support another artist on tour, there are so many restrictions. You don’t get your own light show, your...

    Mercury admitted he was “a forceful character” and said he always had the feeling that “everything’s got to be new.” He said this spirit played a part in helping make Queen such a bold band in the 70s, as they pushed the limits on six albums, including 1975’s A Night At The Opera, which featured the rock masterpiece “Bohemian Rhapsody”. “We went a ...

    When Queen played Bedford College in January 1972, there were reportedly only six people in the audience. Within 13 years they would be playing a single gig to more than 250,000 fans in Rio De Janeiro, by which time they had become the undisputed masters of stadium rock. Mercury believed that after a slow build across 1973 (they started the year pl...

    Mercury interacted with his fans and loved the adulation he received on stage. There were only a couple of unfortunate incidents that stuck out. In Seattle, in 1975, a young fan got into his hotel room and “pilfered my jewels and bracelets.” He confronted the thief and wrestled the jewels from her. “Then, a year later, my very promising pop career ...

    “I’d like the whole world to listen to my music and I’d like everybody to listen to me and look at me when I’m playing on stage,” Mercury said in the 70s. He always wanted to make his audience walk away from a Queen concert “feeling fully entertained.” “I have to make sure that I win them over and make them feel that they’ve had a good time… I know...

    “I had a lot of ideas bursting to get out and there were a lot of musical territories I wanted to explore which I really couldn’t do within Queen,” said Mercury, talking about his 1985 solo album, Mr. Bad Guy. The album gave him the chance, he said, to be his “own boss.” “I find that when I’m my own boss completely, it’s easier for me. I make all t...

    One of the words that cropped up time and again in Mercury’s interviews was “risk.” “A risk element is always involved, and that’s the way I like it,” said Mercury. “That’s what makes good music. Queen have always taken risks.” Mercury described the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” as “a risk” – the same term he used for the “I Want To Break Free” video – ...
