"Who?" You may be saying...
"Rings a bell" others might say...
"Freddie Mercury" is what those of you who love Queen will be screaming!
Yes, Freddie Mercury was born today (5th September) in 1946, would you believe?
In the country of Zanzibar, would you also believe?
In my opinion, this man was the greatest entertainer ever and I seriously doubt many will come close to equalling Freddy on the stage. (As i type, i am listening to Queen Live at Wembley, 1986, which i have never heard all the way through! :O)
Anyway, the way Freddie wrote songs, and sang and performed is just enough to take you're breath away, plus he was gay and in the 80's, i can imagine that was very tough. Tragically, he died of complications with AIDS in 1991, so i've never been alive at the same time as him :(
But the countless concerts that are available to buy make me feel not so sad. I can still view his greatness and so can you.
I've seen various clips from their famous Wembley show but this following clip just amazes me. It's Under Pressure (a great song) but i post it more for the reason of the back and forth singing between Freddie and the audience. Imagine being in the crowd on this day! Would have been quite something...
Happy 64th birthday, Freddie, you're a legend and an inspiration to many, inlcuding myself!
I'm going to be in that stadium in 6 days time ^^
