Freddie Mercury's Background and Career with Queen
Freddie Mercury, the legendary singer and songwriter of Queen, was born Faroch Bolshara in Zanzibar, not England. He moved to England in 1964, enrolled in Ewing College of Art, and later joined the band Queen in 1970. He wrote numerous hits, including Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are the Champions, and was known for his animated performances and public participation. Mercury's fear of ruining his voice prevented him from fixing his teeth, which had four extra teeth in the back. Sadly, Mercury passed away in 1991 at the age of 45 due to complications from AIDS.
