Freddie Mercury's Major Accomplishments

Legendary Band, Great Music that is Queen

As soon as I heard the song “These Are the Days of Our Lives” I fell head over heels in love with the music of Queen. I had heard their songs on the radio but hadn’t taken the time to really listen to them until this particular song. Even now I enjoy watching videos of Queen through YouTube and watching Freddie Mercury’s dynamite performances always brings a tear to my eye. He was such a great talent and certainly much too young to be taken from this world but the music of Queen and the videos keep him alive and in our minds and our hearts.

Remembering Freddie Mercury

I truly admire the creative talent of this terrific British musician, record producer, singer and songwriter who was best known as the

The two albums were Mr. Bad Guy in 1985 and Barcelona in 1988. In 1993 he came out with a remix of “Living on My Own” which quickly rose to number one on the U.K. Charts. The title track from his second album “Barcelona” became the official anthem of the 1992 Summer Olympics which were held in Barcelona, Spain. Among this singles was The Platter’s song “The Great Pretender”. A compilation album was released in September 2006 on what would have been his 60th birthday. In 2000 his biography came out Freddie Mercury, the Untold Story.

In 1995 Queen came out with the album Made in Heaven which features Freddie Mercury’s unreleased final recording from 1991. On the cover is a picture of the statue of Mercury that overlooks Lake Geneva in Montreux, Switzerland. This was where he had written and recorded his last songs at Mountain Studios. On the sleeve of the album is written “Dedicated to the immortal spirit of Freddie Mercury”.

Freddie Mercury will be remembered and missed whenever one of his songs is played or one of Queen’s songs. He is among the brightest stars in heaven and part of the biggest rock band in the sky.

Even though he wasn’t very much into astrology Mercury used the Western star signs of the band as inspiration for the crest. The crown with two lions on either side represent Roger Taylor and John Deacon, who are both Leos, the crab for Cancer, Brian May and the two fairies as stand-ins for the sign Virgo, is Freddie Mercury’s sign. The entire crest is overtaken by the Phoenix, the mythological bird symbolizing the never-ending cycle of life and death. This was later used as the symbol for the Mercury Phoenix Trust which is an AIDS charity that Queen created after Mercury passed
