Ime Freddie Mercury sinonim je za jednu-od-najvećih-rock-legendi-ikad. Rođen 5. rujna 1946. godine Farrokh Bulsara odlučio je postati zvijezda, promijenio je ime u Freddie Mercury i zaista – nova zvijezda je rođena!
Freddie Mercury bio je od 1970. godine član grupe Queen, zajedno s gitaristom Brianom Mayjem, bubnjarem Rogerom Taylorom i basistom Johnom Deaconom. S glasom nevjerojatnog opsega od čak četiri oktave, bio je jedan od najboljih vokala na tadašnjoj glazbenoj sceni te se i danas smatra jednim od najvećih vokala u glazbenoj povijesti.

Bio je sposoban izvući ono najbolje iz publike i zabaviti cijeli svijet no, iako je više od 20 godina bio u središtu zanimanja javnosti i prodao gotovo 200 milijuna nosača zvuka, Freddie Mercury bio je vrlo povučena osoba. Izbjegavao je intervjue, budući da je bio iznimno stidljiv, te se osjećao vrlo nelagodno u društvu nepoznatih osoba. Preminuo je 24. studenog 1991. godine, a iza sebe je ostavio niz bezvremenskih stihova po kojima bismo svi mogli i trebali živjeti.
