Farrokh Bulsara, born on September 5th, 1946 in the British protectorate of Zanzibar, had no idea that later in his life he will become a famous singer named Freddie Mercury. Though there were always hints of his musical capabilities, nobody seriously considered music as a career for him. Freddie has even majored in graphic design, before releasing The Queens first studio album. After that, he has gained worldwide fame for his flamboyant stage presence and immense vocal talent.
Since his death in 1991, there have been quite a few debates about Mercury. For example, whether or not Freddie's vocal range spanned four full octaves. But even if we don't get any answers to some of the mysteries surrounding the great musician, there are a lot more Freddie Mercury facts that reveal just how great and interesting he really was.
Imgur user IceCreamMaam has collected some of the least known ones, and they definitely bring you and the famous musician a little closer. To understand his life even a little better, check out these Rare Pics Of Freddie Mercury And His Boyfriend From 1980s.

He considered Mary his one true friend. The only person who really understood him. The song, "Love of My Life" is about Mary.
Those teeth were uniquely him and after a while, if he had worked on them, I think people probably would not have liked it. And, yeah, don't do anything to mess with that voice.
Been there recently and there is the Queen Experience at the Casino. Handwritten lyrics.... Very cool.
He avoided interviews because he was asked questions that invaded his privacy.

The Freddie Mercury was introduced in 1994 by Eric Stainthorpe of Battersby Roses. It is a pink, yellow and apricot rose.
I remember this. I actually had no idea he was sick. I was 19 and in America, so we didn't get the same tabloid gossip as Brits did. I was devastated. it took months for me to come to terms with it.
I think the band loved him so. They were like brothers When you work together as long as they have you become family. The loss is so great! They respected each others privacy, and I really think that is the eay it should be! He wanted his privacy, that should be respected! Hint: POPERACY!!!!! Of cpurse I adored freddy. But he wanted his privacy. I can tespect that very much. It is nice to know his bday, but thats it.!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and state everybody likes at least one Queen song, which, in my book, makes them the most popular band ever. (including the beatles and the stones) I think they appealed to a wider variety of people...
An absolute legend, the likes of which I doubt we will see again. Thank you for the great music, Freddie!
You are so right!
I love playing bohemian rhapsody in bars and watching the reaction.. At some point, the entire place will start singing and finish the song together. It's beautiful and hilarious to witness.
