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.

How ironic, suitable and sad that it happened with exactly that song. But wow, the power in his voice in that song - gives me goosebumps just thinking about it!

    He called her love of his life, but it's unknown about whom the song is. The song's lyrics actually contradict Mary and Freddie's relationship.

    This is tabloid trash. Freddie and michael met in 1983, they did duets together. For example: state of schock. There is a demo tape where you can hear both men singing. The song couldn't be completed due to scheduling conflicts so michael brought up Mick jagger to do the parts of the song (and to finish the song which was realeased on the album victory) , freddie was ok with that. In an interview he said that it didn't end their friendship. The other duets are: victory and there must be more than life than this. Maybe first give correct facts here. Both musicians where brilliant, this is no competition... -.-

    Actually, useless information time, your fingers prune to allow for more grip when wet since our average skin is too slippery when wet. So really it would be easier with pruny finger than without.

    What is horrible is there are those that would think differently. He lived on his own terms and made a brave choice. When it's terminal, you should have the option.

    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 agree. I thought that he was a healthy person. He had a trim body, and muscles. I just thought he was a health regimen. He always looked good. I never heard rumors he had aides!

    He wasn't the main writer though and it wasn't his favourite genre. He liked trying different styles and pushing what he could do. So, personally, I'm not so sure.

    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.!

    Not to mention the fact that he was actually openly bisexual. But for some reason people think you should be “one or the other” which is just stupid.

    Actually he was openly bisexual, he said so himself. Why are people forgetting about that? It’s sickening how common biphobia and bi erasure the world is.

    I just read that he worked in the catering department doing dishes at Heathrow while he was at Isleworth Polytechnic (from '64 to '66). I also read he was a baggage handler before he became a rock legend.

    He had a vocal extension of 37 semitones. As a comparison, Pavarotti had 31 semitones and Montserrat Cabballé, 30.
