Voice and piano
Freddie Mercury
- Date of birth
- 5 September 1946
Freddie Mercury, born Farrokh Bulsara, brought vocals and piano to Queen. His official biography connects his art studies and earlier band Wreckage with meeting Brian May and Roger Taylor. Queen's story is a collective one, but his profile gives a route into its theatrical dimension. Read the documented writing credit for Bohemian Rhapsody alongside the individual contributions of the other members. His death on 24 November 1991 and the later release of Made in Heaven are separate events in the chronology.
