Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara), (5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991) was a British musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen. As a performer, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and powerful vocals over a four-octave range. As a songwriter, Mercury composed many hits for Queen, including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to Love", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "We Are the Champions". In addition to his work with Queen, he led a solo career, penning hits such as "Barcelona", "I Was Born to Love You" and "Living on My Own". Mercury also occasionally served as a producer and guest musician (piano or vocals) for other artists. He died of bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS on 24 November 1991, only one day after publicly acknowledging he had the disease. [via Wikipedia]

Freddie Mercury
The compulsion to express one’s need to be understood is what propels the performer. Through masks, costumes, and characters, the stage becomes a magic carpet on which dreams become realities and realities become dreams. Or as Michael Jackson sang, “the lie becomes the truth”. Which is the philosophy behind KATWALK. And Freddie Mercury embodied this.
Freddie Mercury, who would have turned 65 this September, influenced every stage drama Queen of today. And with the release of Queen’s 5 last albums this September, we’re compelled to put things in perspective.
When artists postulate on their harsh struggles (respect), recall the late and great singer-performer-songwriter Freddie Mercury, whose journey began when he was born a Parsi, Zorastrian in Zanzibar, Tanzania, moving to India then England as a teenager, and alas died of bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS 1991, one day after publicly acknowledging he had the disease.
And in between became arguable the greatest rock singer, songwriter and performer of all time.
So pay tribute, kittens. Learn from the master and buy the the reissue of Queen’s final five albums with bonus material on September 5th, Freddie’s birthday.
The albums:
The Works
A Kind Of Magoc
The Miracle
Innuendo
Made In Heaven’
WATCH THE PROMO:
Christopher Reeve and Freddie Mercury
Is it just me, or does anyone else see an eerie resemblance between the late Superman, Christopher Reeve, and AIDS victim and former rock star, Freddie Mercury? Most of all, the shape of their narrow and somewhat convex noses, and their cheeks too.
Freddie Mercury was of Parsi (Persian) ancestry and Zoroastrian, is it possible that they both share some ancient Aryan/Indo-European ancestor in common that gave them some resemblance in their phenotypes? It would be very interesting with a genome-wide SNP scan, to know their haplogroups and where they cluster in relation to each other.
I'm no faggot or anything, but Christopher Reeve was a good looking guy in the Superman movies, and Freddie Mercury, when he didn't have that ugly moustache, also looked quite good.
How would you classify them? Obviously, Mercury was somewhat swarthier, but other than that I do think they have a very similar phenotype in many ways.
