Freddie Mercury was a well-known singer and composer who rose to prominence as the lead singer of the rock band 'Queen.' From an early age, he was musically oriented, and according to acquaintances, he could listen to any song and perform the tune on the piano. He founded his own music group, 'Queen,' with musicians Brian May and Roger Taylor, after singing for a few short-lived ensembles. The band rose to prominence in the 1970s, with classics such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'We Are the Champions.' This great vocalist was well-known for his live performances, having appeared in over 700 of them. His colorful attitude on stage, as well as his vocal range, were hallmarks of his performances. The monodrama 'Mercury: The Afterlife and Times of a Rock God' is based on the life of this legendary vocalist. He's also been named one of the '100 Greatest Britons' by the BBC and one of the 'Top 100 Singers of All Time' by 'Rolling Stone' magazine. Since his death as the first prominent rock star to succumb to AIDS, many groups, including 'The Mercury Phoenix Trust,' created by members of the 'Queen' band, have held concerts to raise cash for AIDS research.
