Freddie
Mercury
| Combining
theatrics and an outrageously flamboyant stage persona with
his fine natural-born talent (he possessed one of the greatest
voices in all of music and penned some of pop's most enduring
and instantly recognizable compositions), one of rock's greatest
all-time entertainers/showmen was unquestionably Queen vocalist
Freddie Mercury. Born Farrokh Bulsara on September 5, 1946,
in Zanzibar to Persian parents (his father worked as a high
court cashier for the British government), young Farrokh soon
adopted the name Freddie by fellow classmates while attending
an English boarding school. Freddie soon discovered his love
for art and music, both subjects that he explored voraciously
(he began taking piano lessons around this time), putting
his newly found piano talent to use as he played in rock &
roll bands with friends. Due to political upheaval in Zanzibar,
Freddie and his family fled Zanzibar for England in 1964.
