Freddie Mercury: From Another Planet
Freddie Mercury (1946-1991), was one of the greatest influential rock singers of all time. He
was born in Zanzibar City, Tanzania. He spent his childhood playing a lot of sports and He was
also music mad.
Freddie Mercury had a girlfriend called Mary Austin. They were together for six years. His life
was turned upside down when his feelings started to change, and he started to gain them
towards men.
In 1985 Freddie had a memorable performance at Live Aid in front of 72,000 people. Mercury
and Queen were recognized for their contributions to American music history when they were
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Mercury died in 1991 from AIDS related
bronchial pneumonia at his London mansion.
I think he was one of the biggest influencers in music in general and his legacy will live on for
generations to come.
