Farrokh Bulsara, popularly known as Freddie Mercury, was a Tanzania born British record producer, singer and songwriter, of Indian descent, who is particularly famous for being the front man of the musical band ‘Queen’.
Mercury went to boarding school in India and was interested in music from an early age. He had even formed his own group at school. He arrived in England as a 17 year old and earned a diploma from Ealing Art College in Art and Graphic Design.

He formed the rock band ‘Queen’ in 1970 along with Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor. Mercury was the lead vocalist and songwriter of the band.
Some of the greatest hits that the band gave were written by him. His 4 octave voice was a unique talent and he soon became one of the most famous rock stars in the world. Mercury’s on stage persona and dancing skills made him a highly popular star as well. Some of the most famous songs by him include ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, ‘We Are the Champions’, ‘Killer Queen’, ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, ‘We are the Champions’ and ‘Play the Game’ among others.

“Who wants to live forever?”
- Freddie Mercury

Excess is part of my nature. Dullness is a disease. I really need danger and excitement. I'm never scared of putting myself out on a limb.

I don't want to change the world with our music. There are no hidden messages in our songs. I like to write songs for modern consumption.

I'm so powerful on stage I seem to have created a monster. When I'm performing I'm an extrovert yet inside I'm a completely different man.

I always knew I was a star, and now the rest of the world seems to agree with me.

People are apprehensive when they meet me. They think I'm going to eat them.

Success has brought me world idolisation and millions of pounds. But it has prevented me from having the one thing we all need, a loving, on-going relationship. Love is Russian roulette for me.

When we first got our band together I think most people were really shocked because they thought pop groups usually consisted of ex-truck drivers with very little brains, who were fed up with being on the dole and had decided to become top of the pops instead.

If I didn't do this I wouldn't have anything to do. I can't cook. I'm not any good at being a housewife.

I've worked hard for money. Nobody's given it to me dear! I've earned it so it's mine to do what I want with. So if I want a pyramid in Kensington and I can afford it, I'll have it.

If I lost everything tomorrow I'd claw my way back to the top somehow.

I don't have any aspirations to live to 70. I don't want to sound morbid. I've lived a full life and if I'm dead tomorrow, I don't give a damn. I've done it all I really have.

I like to ridicule myself. I don't take it too seriously. I wouldn't wear these clothes if I was serious. The one thing that keeps me going is that I like to laugh at myself.

We are the Cecil B De Mille of rock n roll - always wanting to do things bigger and better.

I'm a human being. I'd like people to recognise the fact I'm a human being.

We're seeking perfection, even if we know it's virtually impossible to find. When we were looking for a good bass player, we took ages making up our minds because we wanted the best. We are meticulous. It drives some promoters and backstage staff guys mad, but we want everything to be as good as it can for our audiences.

Staying successful at our level is hard. But when you've tasted success as beautifully as I have you don't want to let go in a hurry.

When I look back on all the black nail varnish and stuff I think, God, what did I do? I used to feel a need for all that on stage. It made me more secure. But now I don't. I've grown up a bit.
