Freddie Mercury was recognized for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal vary - the lead singer of Queen defied the conventions of a typical rock frontman. He paved the way in which for a lot of up to date artists to have a extra assured and theatrical act which indelibly formed the subsequent era of pop and rock music. From working as a baggage handler at Heathrow airport to hiding his HIV prognosis from the general public till simply earlier than his loss of life, Mercury's life was stuffed with journey, publicity, and maybe above all, a transparent duality. He was each flamboyant and shy, outspoken and intensely non-public. The sickness that claimed his life may by no means have outlined Freddie, and now, years later, his legacy is larger than he may have ever imagined.
