Freddie Mercury | Indian/British

Queen frontman Freddie Mercury was a legend in the music industry. He is known as a singer, songwriter, and a producer. Through his unique personality and his impressive vocal range, he was able to make history with his band. Mercury was even given credit as one of the greatest rock and roll artists of all time. His origin however was somewhere very far away.

He was born as Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Since his family was British-Indian, his youth was spent in India but due to his father’s job, they had to return to Zanzibar. In 1964, his family left because of the revolution. They moved to Middlesex, England and settled there. This was where he found the other members of Queen. One of the other thing people discuss the most about Freddie was his sexuality. While some commentators claimed Mercury had his sexual orientation from the public, others claimed he was “ openly gay”.
