You gotta dig a guy like Freddie Mercury. It’s practically a law! Not only was he a musical genius and a phenomenal singer, but the man was rumoured to have once thrown a party so wild it had midgets roaming around with trays of cocaine strapped on their heads for guests to schnarf off.
His life was the stuff of legend – he wore crazy outfits, he had the stage presence of a young stallion and he sung some of the most memorable rock songs and ballads of all time.
Just watch the passionate vehemence with which people act out the coda (“I’m just a poor boy from a poor family…â€) of “Bohemian Rhapsody†before last round gets called at the local bar and you’ll know that for as long as there is music, there will always be Queen.
