Freddie Mercury, nome artístico de Farrokh Bulsara, nasceu na localidade de Stone Town, na ilha Zanzibar, à época colónia britânica, hoje pertencente à Tanzânia, na África Oriental.
Líder de uma das maiores bandas de Rock/Pop do mundo, os Queen, no início nos anos 70, Freddy até hoje é simbolo de Front man no palco. Possuía uma energia única onde assumia total controle sobre as gigantescas plateias dos seus shows.
Mercury era bissexual, mas só assumiu publicamente a sua condição ao anunciar que estava com SIDA, um dia antes de morrer, em 24 de Novembro de 1991 em Londres, rodeado de amigos. O seu corpo foi cremado três dias depois. Os Queen, foram a primeira banda a gravar um vídeo-clip, ou seja, um filme feito especialmente para divulgar uma música (Bohemian Rhapsody).
Os amigos próximos dele, mantiveram segredo da sua doença até o fim. Já muito fraco, Freddy Mercury ainda continuou a gravar (Made In Heaven).
Freddy morreu no dia 4 de Novembro de 1991 aos 45 anos de idade. Faria 60 anos no próximo dia 5 de Setembro.
Por ser uma das minhas bandas de culto aqui fica esta recordação:
The Show Must Go On
Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, Ill leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess Im learning, I must be warmer now
Ill soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark Im aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
Ill face it with a grin
Im never giving in
On - with the show -
Ill top the bill, Ill overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show
The show must go on...
