The true cause of death of Freddie Mercury is still a big question. Freddie Mercury: biography, personal life, cause of death Freddie Mercury year of birth
Freddie Mercury was born on September 5, 1946 in Zanzibar, and then his name was Farrukh Bulsara. He became Freddie with the light hand of his friends, and he took the pseudonym Mercury himself much later, in 1970, either in honor of the dodgy god Mercury, or in honor of the planet of the same name ruling all the Virgins. In any case, it was not a random choice. Mercury went to his glory thanks to incredible energy, determination, calculating every step and only occasionally relying on intuition.
His parents - Bomi and Jer - were Parsis. Bomi's father worked as an accountant for the British government. In 1952 Freddie's sister Kashmira was born. And in 1954, when Freddie was only 8 years old, he was sent to India and assigned to St. Peter's School in Panchgani - 500 miles from Bombay.
St. Peter's was quintessentially English, and all the sports played there were quintessentially English. Freddie hated cricket and long distance running, but he loved hockey, sprinting and boxing, and at the age of 10 he became the school table tennis champion. But his talents were not limited to sports. At the age of 12, he won the cup in a kind of youth all-around. He was very fond of painting and constantly made drawings for friends and relatives.
And of course, from an early age, Freddie was crazy about music. He listened to records on an old home record player, stacking them and playing them continuously. Listening to music, Freddie liked to sing along. The music was mostly Indian, although sometimes Western came across - he sang everything and strongly preferred this activity to school lessons.
The headmaster of St. Peter's School drew attention to Freddie's musical abilities. He wrote a letter to his parents, where he offered to give him the opportunity to seriously study music for a small additional fee. They agreed, and Freddie began to learn to play the piano. He also began to sing in the school choir and regularly took part in school theater productions. He liked piano lessons - here he could definitely apply his talent. As a result, Freddie received the 4th degree in theory and practice.
In 1958, five friends from St. Peter's School - Freddie Bulsara, Derrick Branche, Bruce Murray, Farang Irani and Victory Rana - created their first rock band, which they called The Hectics ("Fidgets"), where he was not yet a vocalist, but a pianist. They played at school parties, anniversaries and dances - nothing more is known about this group.
In 1962, Freddie graduated from St. Peter's School and returned to Zanzibar, where he spent his free time with friends in the markets, parks and beaches. Zanzibar was a British colony with a large population of Africans and Arabs. When riots broke out in the country in 1964, many British and Indians were forced to leave, although no one drove them out. Among those who left Zanzibar was the Bulsara family - they went to England.
At first they lived with relatives in Feltham (Middlesex), then they had the opportunity to purchase their own small house in the same area. 17-year-old Freddie chose art college for himself, but for this he needed to get an appropriate score in painting, and in September 1964 he entered the nearby Islesworth Polytechnic School.
Best of the day
During the holidays, he tried to earn a little money - sometimes in the supply department of Heathrow Airport, sometimes at the Feltham trading enterprise, where he had to lift and stack heavy baskets and boxes. The workers, looking at his hands, which were completely inappropriate for this kind of work, asked what he was doing here. He replied that he was a musician and that he just needed something to do, and his charm was so great that his comrades quickly took over the lion's share of his work.
The aesthetic side of school life appealed to him clearly more than the academic one, but he easily earned the required score in painting and in the spring of 1966 he graduated from the Islesworth School. Thanks to this score, as well as his natural gift, he was readily accepted into the Ealing College of Art, and in September 1966 he began to take a course in graphic illustration.
Freddie became friends with a student from his college, Tim Staffell. As their friendship grew stronger, Tim began to invite Freddie to rehearsals of his band "Smile" (Smile - Smile), where he played bass guitar and sang. In addition to Tim, the band included guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. The band's sound made an indelible impression on Freddie, especially Brian's playing. Inspired by "Smile", he embarked on musical experiments for the first time since leaving India.
First, his partners were Tim and Nigel Foster - another art student, then Chris Smith. When Chris first heard Freddie's voice, he was fascinated. And his manner of playing the piano - outwardly spectacular, with Mozart's ease - in combination with a strong touch was distinguished by a unique originality, and this also did not leave Chris indifferent.
They tried to write songs together. As Chris recalls, they are unlikely to have completed anything, but notes that these classes with Freddie taught him a lot. "I immediately noticed that Freddie had an innate sense of melody," recalls Chris, "and that attracted me the most." Even then, Freddie experimented, combining several melodies together in different keys, trying to achieve the greatest effect. Take this into account when listening to Bohemian Rhapsody.
Freddie graduated from Ealing in June 1969 with a diploma in graphic arts and design - and a couple of advertising commissions for a local newspaper. He moved into an apartment with Roger Taylor, and that same summer they opened their own stall in Kensington Market. First they sold the work of Freddie and his college mates, and then all sorts of clothes - new and used, which they could get.
That same summer, he was introduced to the Liverpool trio "Ibex" (Ibex) - the guys came to try their luck in London. They were guitarist Mike Bersin, bassist John "Tupp" Taylor (John "Tupp" Taylor) and drummer Mick "Miffer" Smith (Mick "Miffer" Smith). With them were their main and road manager Ken Testi and fellow member Geoff Higgins, who sometimes had to play the role of bass player when "Tapp" - an ardent admirer of Jethro Tull - expressed a desire to play the flute.
Freddie's meeting with Ibex took place on August 13, 1969, and after 10 days he studied their entire repertoire, added a few songs and was ready to go with them to Bolton (Lancashire) to give his first concert. Performances in Bolton took place as part of the annual blues festivals, covered by the local press. Ibex's concerts took place on August 23 at the Oktogon Theater and on August 25 at Queen's Park.
Freddie began to look for a new band and found an ad in Melody Maker: the Sour Milk Sea band needed a vocalist. There is a story about the pomp with which Freddie appeared before them. Although several other very worthy candidates came that day, as soon as Freddie began to sing, it became clear that they were taking him. Freddie's voice was distinguished by its extraordinary beauty and wide range. But it's not just the voice. His very behavior, his ability to present himself made an indelible impression. Those who have seen Queen's performances, at least on record, will understand what this is about. As Ken Testi recalls, everything that Freddie did in Queen later, he did at the very first performance in Ibex - this is not something that has been developed over the years, this is a rare natural gift that is in unique harmony with his voice, and with external data, and with his subtle artistic taste and musicality in the broadest sense. And the fact that he himself was aware of this made him absolutely irresistible!
Other members of the group were Chris Chesney (vocals and guitar), bassist Paul Milne, Jeremy "Rubber" Gallop (Jeremy "Rubber" Gallop) - rhythm guitar and Rob Tyrell (Rob Tyrell) - drums. They had a few rehearsals and then a couple of performances in Chris' hometown of Oxford.
Freddie and Chris, who was then about 17 years old, became strong friends, and Chris moved to an apartment on Ferry Road, where Freddie lived with the members of Smile. The other members of Sour Milk Sea weren't very impressed that Freddie and Chris were spending so much time together - they were much more concerned about the future of the group. And two months later, Jeremy, who owned almost all the equipment, took it away, and this meant the breakup of the group.
In April 1970, Tim Staffell decided to leave "Smile", and Freddie took the place of the vocalist. He changed the band's name to Queen and his last name to Mercury.
The further biography of Freddie Mercury largely coincides with the biography of the Queen group.
In 1970, Freddie met Mary Austin. They lived together for seven years, but remained friends for life.
In 1971, John Deacon joined the group - now Queen were in full force. Freddie designed the crest for the group based on the members' zodiac signs: two fairies for him (Virgo), two lions for Roger and John (Leo), and a crab for Brian (Cancer). It was Freddie who became the author of the first Queen song to hit the British charts - (Seven Seas Of Rhye). He also owns the first big hit (Killer Queen) as well as the most famous song of the group (Bohemian Rhapsody), which was at the top of the British charts for 9 weeks. At concerts, Freddie was always in the foreground.
In 1975, Queen toured Japan, where they were accompanied everywhere by a screaming crowd of enthusiastic fans. It was the first time they had received such an unusual and unexpected reception. Freddie just fell in love with this country and began to collect Japanese paintings and antiques.
On October 7, 1979, Freddie's old dream came true - he performed with the Royal Ballet. He chose Bohemian Rhapsody and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The melody was played by the orchestra, and Freddie sang live. The performance began with Bohemian Rhapsody and was a huge success with ballet lovers who gave him a standing ovation after both numbers.
In 1980, Freddie changed his image - he made a short haircut and grew a mustache. After that, many fans began to send him "gifts" - nail polish and razor blades.
At the end of 1982, Queen unanimously decided that they needed to take a break and take a break from each other. They announced that there would be no tour in 1983. Freddie had long been considering the possibility of releasing a solo album - now he had time for this. In early 1983 he began recording at Musicland Studios in Munich. During this period he was introduced to the composer Giorgio Moroder. Moroder took part in the revival of Fritz Lang's 1926 silent sci-fi film Metropolis, which was set to modern music. He asked Freddie to co-write a song for the film, and Freddie agreed. He has never collaborated with anyone other than Queen and has never performed a cover version with the exception of Larry Lurex. The result of this collaboration was the song Love Kills.
On September 10, 1984, Freddie's first solo single was released - the song Love Kills written jointly with Giorgio Moroder for the film "Metropolis".
And the first single from his future solo album was I Was Born To Love You, released on April 9, 1985. Three weeks later, the album itself appeared, called Mr. bad guy. It was released on CBS Records.
July 13, 1985 was a special day for Queen and Freddie. On this day, the Live Aid concert took place - a grand show at Wembley Stadium, where 72 thousand spectators were present. The concert was broadcast on TV all over the world, i.e. it was watched by over a billion people! With their performance, Queen secured their place in history, and all reviewers, journalists, fans and critics were unanimous that the group became the highlight of the program.
At the beginning of 1987, Queen experienced some lull, which Freddie took advantage of to record another solo number at Townhouse Studios. It was a cover of an old Platters song The Great Pretender. The single was released on February 23rd.
In March 1987, Freddie flew to Barcelona to meet with Montserrat Caballe. He gave her a cassette on which two of his songs were recorded (according to other sources - 4). The Spanish opera diva appreciated them and even performed one of them - to Freddie's great surprise - at a concert in London's Covent Garden. And in early April, these two artists of such different genres began work on a joint album.
At the end of May, a grandiose festival took place in the famous Ku-Club on the island of Ibiza. Freddie was the guest of honor and, together with Montserrat Caballe, performed at the closing of the festival. They performed the song Barcelona, which Freddie dedicated to his native city of Montserrat.
On October 8, 1988, Freddie and Montserrat performed at another grandiose festival - La Nit, this time in Barcelona itself. They performed 3 songs: How Can I Go On, The Golden Boy and Barcelona, with Mike Moran, co-songwriter, playing piano. The long awaited Barcelona album is finally out on October 10th.
The October 8 performance was Freddie's last public appearance. By that time he was already seriously ill with AIDS, but did not want people to know about it. He announced his illness only a day before his death, leaving his entire fortune to his sister, the only person close to him, and also to his beloved cats. Despite everything, he continued to write songs and make records, and even starred in video clips. Already quite sick, he shot a wonderful video for the song I "m Going Slightly Mad.
On November 24, 1991, Freddie died at his home in London from bronchial pneumonia that developed on the background of AIDS.
The musicians of Queen said in an official statement: "We have lost the greatest and most beloved member of our family. We feel endless grief and sadness at the knowledge that death overtook him at the zenith of his creative upsurge, but we are proud of the courage with which he lived and died "We were fortunate to share magical years with him. We will do our best to honor his life and his inimitable style."
On April 20, 1992, a grandiose concert in his memory was held at Wembley Stadium, in which many rock stars took part. But the best memorial for Freddie was the release of the album Made In Heaven, completed by the three remaining members of the group. The album was released on November 6, 1995. It contains the latest songs recorded by Freddie.
Thank you Freddy We will always remember you. We love you!

The legendary singer died in 1991 at the age of 45. For two decades, his death has given rise to a mass of rumors and gossip, hardly less than his life itself. The artist did not want to advertise his illness. But after his death, both his life and his death became the subject of the most insane speculation.
Speculation "helped" and the disease itself. To date, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is the world's No. 1 cause of death from infectious diseases. According to the World Health Organization, in 2008 the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS was diagnosed in 33 million people, mostly in Africa, where the disease began to spread.
There have been many rumors around AIDS from the very beginning. Apparently, it could not be otherwise: the disease appeared unexpectedly, its carrier - HIV - was not isolated immediately, and initially - mainly among homosexuals. In addition, there was not (and still is not) an effective cure for it. It is not surprising that even the first publications about AIDS in the Soviet press transparently hinted at the connection of the epidemic "with experiments with biological weapons of the US military-industrial complex." The conspiracy theories around AIDS, however, soon abandoned the military version, but took up the version "AIDS is an invention of pharmaceutical companies." Medicine, unfortunately, could not dispel the myths around AIDS - the treatment mitigating the consequences of AIDS is really expensive, and the myth-makers simply do not have enough education to understand the details of the studies of virologists and pharmacists.
Conspiracy theory has the logic of myth. The myth does not need proof, it rejects evidence, science for it is only the opinion of scientists who are nothing more than private individuals with their own interests and sins. But myth always needs a hero. What is the myth without Hercules or Jason? Modern myths choose characters from among celebrities who are written about in newspapers, whose names are on everyone's lips. One of the main characters in the myth of the AIDS conspiracy was Freddie Mercury - a character that fits perfectly from all sides: a celebrity, a talent, a homosexual.
You should not turn a blind eye to the existence of conspiracy theories: they are as much an integral part of modern mass culture as paparazzi reports. "Private Correspondent" decided to acquaint readers with one of its striking examples - the myth of Freddie and AIDS.
The Queen created music that embodied the best tendencies of the 70s - their sensuality and hedonism, their self-intoxication and enjoyment of the relative prosperity and freedom of that time, their cheerful euphoria. In the person of Freddie Mercury, pop music found its first Asian rock star. This star brought something to the world of Western pop that he had never dreamed of before. Inspired, triumphant color vision of the world, the god Krishna, carried away by his love adventures - and all at once. His very singing comes from reckless love, and it catches the listener.
He once said that he was married to love. Married to all the people with whom he had sexual intercourse. The massive campaign to turn Freddie into a gay icon, unleashed by the global pro-speed movement, has taken note and is spinning a disgusting gay porn myth starring Freddie Mercury. But after reading the book by Mariam Akhundova, dedicated to Freddie, I am proud that it was in Russia that there were girls who stood up for a man and his good name, trying to figure out the garbage that is happening in our kingdom of crooked mirrors. The book by Mariam Akhundova, by the way, will soon be published in the second edition.
The mystery of Freddie Mercury's death will probably never be revealed in its entirety, because it involves the global medical-industrial complex entering into corporate copulation with show business, as well as the British tabloid press, EMI and Queen Productions, many his friends and, of course, Freddie's personal physician, Mr. Gordon Atkins, and his assistants.
The armor of the official version of Freddie's illness and death breaks through easily, although in the minds of the bydlomas the spell is fixed with the strongest impenetrable rivets: "Freddie Mercury died of AIDS." This is not true. And I hope I can tell you as simply as possible what really happened.
The thread of contract killing of Freddie Mercury stretches to the very top, to where the heads of pharmaceutical corporations, representatives of militarism and neo-colonialism, the largest financial magnates, in short, all the rulers of this world, about whom we know ridiculously little, sit. Who exactly is responsible for this decision, who carried it out - we will never know about this. But are names and surnames so important to us? This is the essence of all corporate crimes - they are committed by some faceless being. I can only come to the following specifics: those who ordered Freddie's murder were the US militaristic complex, which headed all speed programs at that time. The performers are the singer's personal doctor, Mr. Gordon Atkins, and his henchmen and Queen Productions employee Jim Beach.
In early 1987, a deadly hepatitis B vaccine was injected into the singer's body, causing catastrophic immunodeficiency. This vaccine has been tested on many gay men, and, in fact, it was she who launched the entire AIDS "epidemic" in the United States. The new medical macrocorporation, which can be conditionally called "SPIDPROM", is still very young. The program is managed by two equal forces - the US medical-industrial complex and the highest militaristic circles. The idea of a new biological weapon called AIDS is still maturing in the minds of its creators.
Many thousands of gays continue to die painfully and replenish the necessary statistics. The real cause of these deaths (the hepatitis B vaccine) is carefully hidden. Instead, an epidemic of an "unknown disease" tentatively named AIDS has been declared. But what to do next? The theory is not yet ready, there is also very little practice.
The military circles of the USSR immediately cut into this compote and make a statement: America is beginning to develop a new biological weapon. Our generals truly sense their overseas counterparts. In response, Time magazine (November 17, 1986) calls the Soviet opinion "contagious propaganda." On the same day, an editorial in the Times of India was published in New Delhi, which is in solidarity with the opinion of the USSR and warns against biological weapons, which may have already gone out of control of laboratories.
Back in 1984, Robert Gallo made a sensational statement about the discovery of a new “virus” (he never received the Nobel Prize, his theory was crushed), but all this is still behind-the-scenes talk, unsupported theory. There is no practice and a coherent concept yet. As, however, there is still no “medicine” that could be sold. Immunostimulants? By any medical logic, yes. But not according to the logic of the creators of bioweapons. They take the most toxic substance from the shelves of RakPROM, which did not even go to chemotherapy, conduct tests in record time and, to the applause of gay activists who demand a new, “innovative” drug, throw it on the market, raising astronomical sums at the very first time.
All this - 1986-1987. Years of birth of one of the most influential corporations today, years of truly frenzied activity of the top of the future SPIDPROM, which has not yet entered the period of stagnation. Money is being pumped in from everywhere, but primarily from the richest in the US and deeply partisan cancer funds.
To be credible, SPIDPROM desperately needs a rock star with an AIDS diagnosis. And preferably the biggest rock star.
The pro-speed top selects the most suitable guy for the role of the victim. Freddie. Firstly, it is a megastar, and therefore it will allow to carry out a really large advertising campaign of the rapidly developing SPIDPROM. Secondly, this person often visits gay clubs, and, of course, he dabbles in drugs. All of these are great to use.
Every year, only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the number of newly infected with the human immunodeficiency virus increases by tens of thousands, but in our time, few people will be surprised by these figures. Actually, no one even thinks about the existence of this problem until it touches them, their loved ones, relatives, friends and acquaintances.
Gay? It seems so... The government can now reassure itself with ethical considerations, as the creator of the hepatitis B vaccine reassured himself with them, choosing as victims only those gays who lead promiscuous sex lives. “Human garbage - gays and drug addicts. It will be better for everyone if we exterminate them ”- this is how the government justifies itself. At that time, AIDS was still being promoted as a strictly homosexual virus. Heterosexuals, as well as African children, can sleep well for now.
Akhundova writes: “In the mid-80s - early 90s, one of the dirtiest and darkest pages was inscribed in the history of Western show business, which can be conditionally called “hunting for stars”. Her victims were famous men - handsome men, millionaires and idols of millions, single or divorced. Rock Hudson, Freddie Mercury, Rudolf Nureyev ... The victim fell ill and burned out in record time. A well-known activist of the anti-AIDS struggle or the movement for the rights of sexual minorities was always at the bedside of the helpless dying. The cause of death was declared AIDS, and the deceased himself posthumously became a homosexual. The silence of relatives and friends was bought, deals were negotiated with managers and business companies, the reputation of the late idols was destroyed by publications about their wild sex life and scandalous revelations of self-proclaimed friends, which received wide press coverage. Spreading gossip about dead idols, they put pressure on the pity of the viewers who sincerely loved them and called on everyone to fight AIDS by transferring modest (or not so) donations to all the same funds, using condoms and fighting for the rights of sexual minorities.
An analysis of materials on this topic led to a very disappointing conclusion - information about the illness and death of Freddie Mercury is classified. Even now, ten years after his death. You can find out everything about any famous person who died under such circumstances: the date of diagnosis - year, month and day, the name of the doctor who reported the terrible news, the number and name of the hospital in which it happened, the approximate date when the unfortunate person was infected with HIV , how and where he was treated, in which hospitals and clinics he was, what medications he took and what procedures he underwent, how the disease proceeded, the name of the attending physician or doctors, etc. etc. This can be learned about anyone - except for Mercury.
I don’t think that this can be found out about other victims of SPIDPROM, but with Mercury the matter was resolved instantly: his corpse is immediately cremated in the presence of a few relatives and relatives. The medical history is not available to anyone.
Why does “his” order for immediate cremation fit into the very first clause of his will (Freddie has repeatedly said how deeply he does not care about his funeral affairs)? Perhaps because Freddie's corpse evoked memories of concentration camps with their skeleton people, like that boy from Dachau, which shows the domestic film "Dead Season" in the very first frames? Something extremely scary? There is, however, another explanation.
We come across this explanation when reading the memoirs of Jim Hutton, wife, not wife, servant, or friend, or best friend, but definitely one of the closest people of Freddie's last years. Apparently, Jim Hutton can be trusted in something. Perhaps he added some porn pictures of himself, perhaps he makes himself too independent and even arrogant towards Freddie, perhaps Freddie never had sex with him at all, but only kissed him on the forehead and they lived like two monks , which Freddie spoke about in an interview in Ibiza in 1987, but, apparently, he was the last friend of the great singer, with whom he felt comfortable and at home, desperate to find a homemaker in any of his women.
So the tabloids strike first. Jim says:
“On our return from our Japanese vacation, as soon as we left passport control, a photographer and reporter from Fleet Street ran up to us, shoving a scary story about AIDS under Freddie's nose. Under the headline "Queen Freddie Star Shocked by AIDS". News of the World wrote that Freddie secretly took an AIDS test at a clinic on Harley Street under his real name, Freddie Balsara. The results showed that he did not have a "fatal disease". The article was rubbish from start to finish.
Freddie was confused. Why didn't anyone from Queen's office in London raise the alarm and tell him about this story? “Do I look like I'm dying of AIDS? Freddie asked. "I'm sick of all this, now go and leave me alone."
“Do I look like I'm dying of AIDS? Freddy is perplexed,” was the next Sun headline. Freddie was furious."
So, the first attack took place at the beginning of 1986, the first seed of the pro-AIDS legend was thrown into the consciousness of the masses, through the yellow press, which was firmly tied to SPIDPROM in a corporate manner. From now on, in the eyes of the public, Freddie and AIDS begin to coexist. More from a dirty article was not required.
But Freddie starts to get seriously nervous. In addition, people revolve around him, talking about their friends dying of AIDS. Do not forget: at that time, gay activists develop a frenzied activity.
All these people make him think about the invincibility of a deadly disease. Freddie decides to stop casual relationships and take up the mind.
Akhundova: “In May 1987, the Sun printed the scandalous interview of Paul Prenter, which you already know, in which Mercury appeared as the organizer of cocaine parties and sexual orgies, an active gay man who had hundreds of men.
Very little time passes, and a scandalous interview with Mercury appears in the press, in which he speaks very frankly about the problem of AIDS and his personal life: “AIDS completely changed my outlook on things. I used to be very depraved, but now I sit at home, I don’t go anywhere ... I think everyone who has had promiscuity should take an AIDS test ... I myself was tested, I’m clean ... "
As soon as the newspaper was published, an enraged Freddie called the editorial office demanding an apology and refutation. The interview really took place, but Freddie spoke in it about his creative plans for the future, a little about his personal life, but he did not speak frankly about debauchery and AIDS, or about medical tests. The editor apologized and promised to sort it out, but there was no refutation, moreover, this fake now adorns all books about Mercury and Queen.
There is only one task for near-musical gays: Freddie must pass an HIV test. The doctor himself cannot advise him this: it would be highly incorrect. Close friends are needed, and preferably with a diagnosis of HIV / AIDS.
At that time, everyone notes that Freddie is alive, healthy and full of strength and energy. But soon the tabloids start up another duck: two alleged partners of Freddie recently died of AIDS. And apparently, Freddie buys for this duck.
The best doctors are watching him, entering into the most friendly relations with him. He cannot end up in the wrong clinic - all clinics that test for HIV are under the unified control of SPIDPROM. The warmest gays tell him about the best clinics, where the tests are the most accurate, and the equipment is the best, and the most delicious smells, and such lovely black sisters ... In short, everything is prepared for the singer to take up his mind and pass the necessary test . And Freddie went to that very clinic.
Akhundova believes: “Mercury was infected with AIDS in September 1986, at London's Harley Street Hospital. What happened in Harley Street was not a medical error or negligence, but a carefully planned contract killing. Otherwise, the Sun would not have known about it so quickly.”
I comment right away: it is impossible to infect with AIDS, AIDS (by their own definition) is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, “developing in the presence of HIV infection”. HIV infection is also impossible to infect. Because this is not an infection, but a retrovirus, something from the field of a healthy reaction of the body to extraneous intrusions. What was Freddie infected with? What will lead it to that catastrophic state that everyone will talk about starting from 1989-1990?
And then Jim Hutton, unexpectedly for himself, gives us a clear and exhaustive answer to this question. He reports in his memoirs that after visiting the clinic, Freddie suddenly called him and said: "The doctors have just taken a big lump out of me." Despair is heard in his tone, and Jim decides to come to Freddie to calm him down. In the bedroom, Freddie points out to Jim " a tiny mark on the shoulder the size of a fingernail, sewn with two stitches. Doctors have just taken a piece of his flesh for examination, and the results are as follows: AIDS was found ”(emphasis mine. - Auth.). (Literally: "He pointed to a tiny mark on his shoulder, no bigger than a thumbnail and with two tiny stitches in it. The doctors had taken a piece of his flesh for testing and the results had just come back. He had Aids" .) The fact is that what Jim Hutton described cannot be the result of an HIV test! The HIV test is a simple blood draw. Freddie showed Jim the vaccine mark!
Apparently, Freddie Mercury introduced the most terrible vaccine - the Zhmuness vaccine, or the hepatitis vaccine, the very tested vaccine with which they began to unleash the AIDS epidemic, killing thousands of gays in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco with it. early 80s! Proven weapon!
Freddie tells Jim that doctors have discovered AIDS and they are the best doctors. Jim advises him to go to another clinic, but what does Jim's words mean in comparison with the authority of "medical luminaries"? One way or another, Freddie is announced a "death sentence", and, judging by the words of Jim, he really begins to take AZT pesticides (the so-called AIDS drugs), which further aggravate his condition.
The killers could have limited themselves to one AZT, as they did with hundreds of thousands of "HIV-infected" first in the first and then in the third world, but this time they chose a more reliable method of killing: in the end, the victim can change his mind, send away from all the doctors and flush the medicine down the toilet - and we won't see dead Freddie. And no one needs a sick Freddie. Freddy only needs a dead one.
It is from this moment that Freddie's health will begin to deteriorate catastrophically. The vaccine will take about four years to completely destroy Freddie Mercury.
So I answer Mariam: Freddie was not infected with the AIDS virus, which does not exist in nature, and not even with the HIV retrovirus, which is harmless, Freddie, according to the already run-in scheme, was infected with a lethal hepatitis B vaccine - a biological weapon tested on thousands of gay people in the USA and , apparently stored in the Tavistock Institute - the most secret institution in Britain.
Let's turn to The Secret AIDS Genocide Plot by physician Alan Cantwell Jr. About the very first steps of SPIDPROM. Back in the 1960s, epidemiologists found that the gay community was five times more susceptible to hepatitis B, a sexually transmitted infection. The developer of the vaccine is a certain Wolf (or Wolf) Zhmuness, a Polish Jew with a very cool biography, who spent time in the Gulag, worked as a doctor in Poland and emigrated to America in the 60s. The hepatitis B vaccine became his life's work.
A recognized world authority on hepatitis, by the end of the 70s he receives a grant of millions of dollars and gets to work: he is introduced to gays, he walks around the ghetto and studies bars, discos and baths. He brings gay doctors and gay activists into his staff. As guinea pigs, he chooses only homosexuals and only those who live promiscuous sex lives.
It was a very expensive experiment that involved many large US medical institutions and such pharmaceutical giants as Merck, Abbott Laboratories, and others. That is, the entire corporate bundle. Here is what Alan Cantwell himself, who participated in these trials in Los Angeles and San Francisco as a researcher, writes:
“In the late 70s, a car with a red cross drove through the streets of the gay neighborhoods of Greenwich Village in Manhattan, looking for potential volunteers among gays. About 10 thousand people agreed to participate in the Zhmuness experiment and donate blood.<...>The first group of homosexuals was vaccinated in November 1978 at a donor center in New York City. The experiment continued until October 1979. More than 1,000 men from Manhattan have been injected with the Zhmuness vaccine. In January 1979, a few months after Wolf Zhmuness began the experiment, purple spots began to appear on the skin of young white gay men from the Village. Doctors were not sure what exactly was wrong with these men. Over the next 30 months, physicians in Manhattan faced a dozen cases of a new illness characterized by acute immunodeficiency, Kaposi's sarcoma, and a rapidly developing fatal lung disease known as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (let's call it bronchial pneumonia). All the men were young gays and were promiscuous. Almost all of them were white. All died in terrible agony.
Within a few years, AIDS will be declared the leading cause of death for young men and women living in New York City. Manhattan's gay neighborhoods will be declared the epicenter of the nation's new AIDS epidemic.
Wolf was delighted with the huge success of his hepatitis experiments. In March 1980, under the supervision of the CDC, additional experiments were carried out on gay men in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, St. Louis and Chicago. In the fall of 1980, the first case of AIDS was reported in a young man from San Francisco.
Six months later, in June 1981, the AIDS epidemic became official. Epidemiologists and health experts have never been able to find a reason why large numbers of young white, previously healthy homosexual men have died mysteriously in Manhattan, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
In the early 1980s, Zhmuness was rewarded with millions of dollars for his experiments, and his highly successful hepatitis vaccine was hailed as having truly limitless global significance. He began to cooperate with the largest medical institutions in the country: the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, the FDA, WHO (WHO), the Cornwall School of Public Health, Yale and Harvard, the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences ...
In June 1982, Wolf Zhmuness died suddenly of lung cancer. I have not been able to find an obituary for his death in any of the medical journals, with the exception of a short report by Aaron Kellner.
Reviewing the posthumous significance of the deceased and his scientific achievements, Aaron Kellner writes: “He was a typical doctor for doctors. Most physicians have an impact on the lives of a few hundred or a few thousand people in their professional career. Some lucky people can influence the lives of several million. A rare doctor, like Wolf Zhmuness, is given the grace to touch the lives of billions of people - people living on this planet, and generations not yet born.
Most people don't know about the hepatitis B vaccine trials on gay men that preceded the mass deaths in gay neighborhoods. But the details of the trials of this vaccine, as well as its impact on the health of male homosexuals, are somehow recorded for posterity in the annals of medical science.
On May 11, 1984, a fateful meeting took place in honor of Wolf Zhmuness. One of the most famous visitors was Dr. Robert Gallo, who just three weeks ago announced his discovery of the AIDS virus.<...>Despite the medical authorities' refusal to acknowledge the link between Zhmuness's experiments on gay men and the outbreaks of the AIDS epidemic in American cities, the link is clear. This is not my imagination. And this is no coincidence. The more I studied the hepatitis B vaccine experiments, the more I realized that this was genocide and biological weapons.” End of quote.
At the end of 1984, doctors gave him a terrible diagnosis - AIDS, which, however, Nureyev reacted quite calmly. He was treated using the latest drugs, and continued to work. He lived with this disease for a total of 12 years (by the time of diagnosis, it had already developed in the body for 4 years), which, according to the general opinion of doctors, is an exorbitant period, and not only lived, but worked almost until the last day. Nuriev could not imagine himself outside the dance and outside the stage.
So, purple spots on the skin, acute immunodeficiency, Kaposi's sarcoma and a rapidly developing fatal lung disease - these are the main signs of the effect of the vaccine that the doctor talks about. We find all this in the scattered memoirs, but never collected together, the medical history of Freddie Mercury.
“On a cold February morning, when Freddie Mercury showed up at the Wembley TV studio to start work on the video for his single Im Going Slightly Mad, the crew was in shock. There was nothing left of the former smooth-faced, muscular Freddie. He looked more like a ghost of himself. Clothes hung on him, his gray face was covered with spots ”(Rick Sky. Freddie Mercury).
“In the following months, the stain spread to the nose, neck, shoulders and legs. Like Mary Austin, Valentine confirmed that Freddie was in terrible pain and took painkillers. He never complained about his suffering” (ibid.).
“German actress Barbara Valentin, with whom Freddie was very friendly, recalls that she learned about his illness in 1987, one of the first. She saw a dark spot appear on his face, which was one of the manifestations of Kaposi's syndrome, which often accompanies the development of AIDS. Barbara had buried many friends who died of this disease, she had no doubts. “The ground shook under my feet,” she said. - I looked at Freddie, and he looked at me. We didn't talk about it, but I knew the truth. I said that he could not go on stage in this form, and helped to hide the stain under the makeup ”(Enina T.V. Something more).
Catastrophic immunodeficiency, which is noted by everyone who has encountered it in recent years, I think, does not need comments. The official diagnosis of Freddie's death - "bronchial pneumonia that developed on the background of AIDS" - once again confirms the Clinical Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.
Freddie knew his diagnosis and stoically fought the unknown disease to the end. In his songs, he conveyed the persecution invisible to the world, which he could not help but feel, but he could not fully understand all the springs that make it up. Out of disgust for the tabloids and all their entourage, he did not want to let them in on a cannon shot, fading away in a circle of servants, quiet friends, former lovers. Only to them does he reveal a terrible diagnosis - and during his lifetime no one betrays him. What happens after death does not concern him personally, and this is another stage of the disease - the disease of the whole society infected with AIDS. The day before his death, Freddie signs the application submitted to him:
“Given the rumors that have been circulating in the press for the past two weeks, I want to confirm that my blood test showed the presence of HIV. I have AIDS. I considered it necessary to keep this information a secret in order to keep the peace of my family and friends. However, the time has come to tell the truth to my friends and fans around the world. I hope everyone will join the fight against this terrible disease."
He also ordered that all rights to the Bohemian Rhapsody song be transferred to the newly created Terrence Higgins Prosid Fund. In the will, however, the money is given to the cancer fund, but there is no contradiction here, it's just a tiny inconsistency solved by one transaction: cancer and AIDS funds are one and the same feeder. The lion's share of funding for AIDS programs was channeled through cancer funds, just as the HIV retrovirus was studied in cancer programs by Duisberg, Gallo, and Montague, and cancer money went to experiments to exterminate gays in America. SPIDPROM is generally the legitimate brainchild of RakPROM, its beloved offspring.
Does this clause of the will shed light on the fact that Freddie died of cancer? Hardly. Most likely, the drafters of the will entered a cancer fund familiar with all AIDS programs, because it was more convenient for them at that time.
The official version says: the next day, November 24, around seven o'clock in the evening, Freddie Mercury died at his home in London from "bronchial pneumonia that developed on the background of AIDS."
And now the main thing is to immediately burn the corpse, because there is a mark on it, which Jim told us about. No one should know that Freddie's body was injected with a hepatitis B vaccine, whose deadly effect is already known to many doctors and researchers.
In the will, this item fits in the very first place.
Here is what Mariam writes: “Everyone thinks that the closed, almost secret funeral of Freddie is the will of him and his relatives. However, according to Freestone, this decision was personally made by Jim Beach. It was he who reduced the number of guests at the funeral to a minimum, ordering everyone who would call about this to be sent to his office. It was he, from beginning to end, who was in charge of both the funeral itself and those who were admitted to them and who were not, and who would be invited to the house and who would not be invited. And it was he who ordered that no relatives of the deceased be allowed into the Garden Lodge. It was he who remained to wait for the end of the cremation, when everyone else had left.
Translated into normal language, it is Beach's merit that the world famous person and the idol of millions was buried as an executed criminal: without a normal farewell, civil memorial service, the opportunity to pay the last debt even at a distance. He made Freddie's death the pretext for a cynical fundraiser for Terrence Higgins' gay foundation. Already on the day of the funeral, he discussed the idea of a tribute and the creation of the Phoenix Foundation, at the same time the idea of releasing Rhapsody in favor of the same gay foundation Terrence Higgins was discussed.
After that, Big Farmo begins to capture the strategic foothold of rock - the spiritual foundation on which the revolutionary energy of rock music is based. Namely - charity concerts. Which until now have been an exceptionally honest affair. With a Freddie Mercury tribute concert in April 1991, SPIDPROM delivers a fatal blow to the heart of pop culture: it involves it in the biggest scam of the late twentieth century. Rock has found a new meaning and a new content - and it will not only pump money into prosid tax-free funds, but also lose its revolutionary content, merging with the expanding gay movement. The revolution is over, now it is taken over by the world government and its new corporation "SPIDPROM". You can interpret the texts and music as you like - from now on the very meaning of what is happening has been changed. The era of rock philanthropy is being replaced by an era of rock for AIDS. Sleep well, dear comrades. The revolution is headed in the right direction of entropy - or the new world order.
Thanks to Freddie's death, the growing AIDS industry breaks into show business and throws such a concert in their honor that from now on the history of rock, if not crushed, then reversed. An independent musical corporation, conditionally - Britpop, until then held relatively proudly and especially, becomes tied with Big Farmo by many threads - and in fact a new history of rock begins. Soon there are more and more mega-concerts "to raise funds for patients with AIDS", rock music is becoming more and more a toy in the hands of pro-AIDS puppeteers. The rebellious tendencies of fate and man are skillfully redirected by Big Farmo into a safe and non-revolutionary area - and this was the task of the speed counter-reformation: to reduce society to a state of stagnation and stagnation, to deprive people of any positive direction. To impose on him frank delirium. Finally turn society into a kingdom of distorting mirrors. And now we see a simple result - a dead, worthless 2000s and, apparently, an even more worthless 2010s. Show must go on…
Freddie Mercury (eng. Freddie Mercury, birth name - Farukh Bulsara (guj. ફારોખ બલસારા, Pharōkh Balsārā); September 5, 1946, Stone City, Zanzibar - November 24, 1991, London, United Kingdom) - British singer, songwriter, Parsi origin vocalist of the rock band Queen. He was the author of such group hits as "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Seven Seas of Rhye", "Somebody to Love", "We Are the Champions", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and others. The musician also worked solo work. Freddie died on November 24, 1991 from bronchopneumonia, which developed on the background of AIDS.
In 2002, Freddie Mercury was ranked 58th in the BBC's 100 Greatest Britons poll. In 2005, Blender magazine conducted a poll, according to which Freddie ranked second among vocalists (first among men). In 2008, Rolling Stone ranked him #18 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Vocalists of All Time list. Allmusic described him as "one of the greatest rock singers and possessor of one of the greatest voices in the history of music."
Personal life
Attractive, charming Freddie Mercury ... The singer's personal life was of interest to many of his fans. At the end of 1969, Freddie met Mary Austin, with whom they were together for seven long years. But they could not get along and therefore were forced to leave. But even after that, they remained good friends, and the girl became Freddie's personal secretary. According to Mary, they broke up because of Freddie's confession that he is bisexual. He considered the girl his good friend.
After this breakup, Freddie had many girlfriends, but he was simply fond of them, none of them could replace Mary for him. A lot of Freddie's songs were dedicated to this girl, in addition, he bequeathed his mansion to her.
Barbara Valentine is an actress from Australia, with whom Freddie also had a fleeting romance. They met in 1983. The musician himself admitted in an interview that this girl helped him create a strong union, and he could not achieve such a relationship in the last years of his single life.
The true cause of death of Freddie Mercury
You can put forward a preliminary version of where and when Freddie Mercury was infected with AIDS.
It happened in September 1986, at the Harley Street Hospital in London.
What happened in Harley Street was not a medical error or negligence, but a carefully planned contract killing. Otherwise, the Sun would not have known about it so quickly, Freddie would not have been the only victim, and the scale of the scandal would have been hard to even imagine.
In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a wave of mass AIDS infections in medical institutions around the world. But in each such case, the infection was quickly identified, the perpetrators were found, and the press raised a scandal. There were also cases of single infections (for example, in 1991 the whole world was shocked by the tragedy of an American student infected with AIDS in the dentist's office), but such cases were quickly detected.
The Mercury killers chose a method that ensured their release from all possible suspicions. The death of Mercury did not cause any such rumors and talk. Not a single wildest tabloid has published a single, even completely sucked-out, alternative version of his death. After all that was said about Freddie, his death seemed like a normal logical conclusion to a dissolute life. Indeed, from what else can the main gay of England, who had hundreds of male partners, die?
A noble man and a believing Zoroastrian was condemned throughout the world by the most vile male sin, the most terrible crime of his faith. He lost the most important thing that a man and a warrior can have - honor and reputation. It won't be long before hundreds of millions of people around the world will discuss his debauchery, his homosexuality, his imaginary vices, and his name will become a symbol of absolute depravity...
For what and why they removed Freddie - I think you already understood. After 1986, this was the only way to stop the triumphant movement of "Queen" and prevent the development of a spiritual rock revolution. They couldn't let Freddie Mercury take the throne of the King of Rock, and when he did, they simply had no other choice.

Freddie Mercury, biography
Farukh Bulsara, whom we know as the iconic Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury, was born in Tanzania in 1946. Farukh's parents - Bomi and Jer - were Parsis (followers of the teachings of Zoroaster). 6 years after the appearance of the son, the daughter of Kashmir was born in the Bulsara family. At that time, the family moved to India and settled in Bombay. 6-year-old Farukh was sent to school. There was an educational institution quite far from Bombay, in the city of Panchgani. The grandfather and aunt of the boy lived there, with whom he stayed. At school, English-speaking classmates started calling Farukh "Freddy".
Freddie was a diligent student. He quickly became interested in sports, choosing for himself hockey, tennis and boxing. And the boy became interested in music and painting. He drew well, distributing drawings to all friends and relatives. But most of all Farukh loved to sing. Classes in the school choir took him a lot of time. The school director drew attention to the excellent vocals of the student. He invited the boy's parents to develop his abilities in piano courses, promising to ask for a small price. Thus, Freddie Mercury began to attend music courses. Upon graduation, he was marked as the best student.
At the age of 12, Freddie and his friends organized a rock band called The Hectics. The guys played and sang at school discos and wherever they were accepted.
In 1962, the future leader of Queen, who was 16 years old, graduated from high school in India and returned to Zanzibar, where his parents again moved. After 2 years, the power on the island changed: Zanzibar declared its independence from England. Riots began. The Bulsara family moved to London.
In 1965, the guy becomes a student at the prestigious Ealing College, where he studies painting and design, and also continues to study music and ballet dancing. Mercury calls Jimi Hendrix and Rudolf Nureyev his idols.
Freddie Mercury movie
Freddie Mercury- perhaps the most famous and controversial rock vocalist. With his talent and creativity in Queen, Freddie Mercury gained worldwide fame, and his sudden death after a serious illness made his name truly legendary.
Freddie Mercury - Biography
Freddie Mercury was born on the island of Zanzibar off the coast of East Africa. At birth, he received the name Farukh Bulsara. As a child, Farukh was fond of sports, studied well at school, played the piano, which later became one of the main highlights of the performance. At that time, he became seriously interested in Indian music. Shortly after graduating from school, Farukh and his family hurriedly left Zanzibar, which became a colony of the Arab Sultanate in 1964.
In England, Freddie entered a school for the study of painting, with which he wanted to connect his future life. At first, he studied at Islesworth for 2 years, and then entered Ealing. It was in Ealing that he met Tim Staffel, who sang and played bass in the band Smile. It is worth saying that the members of Smile at that time were Roger Taylor and Brian May, aren't they familiar names?!
Freddie Mercury and Queen
In 1969, a more serious acquaintance of the rock scene and Freddie Mercury. He became a member of the Ibex group, later renamed Wreckage. But for a long time the group did not exist and our hero went to look for happiness further. A few days later he became a member of the band Sour Milk Sea. But this group did not exist for a long time and broke up in 1970. Freddie, who, by the way, lived with the members of the same Smile group, did not remain out of work for long and in April replaced Staffel, who left the group. From that moment history began to be made...
For starters, the band's name was changed from Farukh to Queen (moreover, as he later said, the main thing in choosing the name was the second meaning of the word queen - “gay”). At the same time, the group could not get a full-fledged bassist into their ranks, who would correspond to the high level of musical skill of other members of Queen. Finally, in 1971, a modest guy came to audition for Queen, who soon became a permanent member of the group for more than 20 years.
Moreover, as the Queens themselves recalled, for a very long time they could not remember his name correctly and called him Deacon John, then John Deacon. In fact, the name of this blond was, as everyone now knows, John Deacon. At the same time, the group acquired its own coat of arms, which included elements of the zodiac signs of each of the band members. Before recording the band's debut album, Farukh Bulsara changed his name and called himself Freddie Mercury. It must be said that Freddie Mercury height was 5 feet and 10 inches - about 175 cm.
Another feature Freddie Mercury - teeth. The singer had 36 of them - 4 more. They grew in 2 rows, creating an unusual appearance of the musician's jaw and a special bite.
“Queen I” itself was recorded in the studio for two years, while no one worked there. The album itself did not receive particularly favorable reviews, but the group continued to work and released "Queen II" a year later. The album reached number 5 in the UK charts. And a few months later, Sheer Heart Attack came to his aid. It easily surpassed the success of its predecessors, reaching number two on the chart. This was facilitated by the presence in the playlist of such a hit as Killer Queen (the group released its first video clip for this song), the author of the song was Freddie Mercury.
At this time, the group used stage images that attributed them to glam rock. In particular, the image of Freddie Mercury consisted of loose plain clothes with a cutout on the chest, which made him look like a gymnast who accidentally wandered onto the stage.
In 1975, the group recorded their most successful album, A night at the Opera. Freddie wrote 5 songs out of 12, including the famous Bohemian Rhapsody, which became a hit and was recently recognized as the song of the millennium. In addition, Mercury wrote a very personal composition dedicated to his beloved girlfriend Mary Austin.
After this album, the group and, in particular, Mercury came to world fame, which grew stronger every year. But at this time, a change takes place in his personal life, which still divides people into two camps. Some consider him a great musician, no matter what, while others contemptuously measure him through the prism of bisexuality.
Freddie Mercury makeover
In 1980, the stage image has undergone major changes. He became more masculine - a mustache appeared, but long hair disappeared. The traditional white jersey also appeared. All this was in good harmony with the cane and microphone, which Freddie used in a reduced form - at the beginning of his career he began to use only an unfinished stand to make it more convenient to hold it in his hands.
In 1985, at the Live Aid concert, a benefit performance was held by Queen and Mercury, who captivated the audience.
Back in 1983, Freddie began his solo career in parallel with Queen, releasing only 2 albums. In 1987, he met the opera singer Montserrat Caballe and together with her released the album Barcelona. The joint song Mercury & Caballe - Barcelona became a hit and was even chosen as the anthem of the Olympic Games in Barcelona.
Freddie Mercury: AIDS, cause of death
In 1986, another event happened in Freddie's life that had a huge impact on his future life and work. Freddie Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS. As a result, he stopped his concert activities, began to lead a more secluded life, devoting himself to recording songs. During this time, the band recorded material for three full-length albums, which included the song Show must go on, which became associated with Freddie and his fight against the disease.
During the illness, the musician's appearance changed a lot - his facial features became more feminine and pale, he was only a shadow of a person who performed in front of millions of people and conquered their hearts.
On November 23, 1991, the musician made an official statement in which he admitted that he had AIDS. The next day, November 24, Freddie Mercury died. His body was cremated and buried secretly from the public. He bequeathed most of the property to his only girlfriend, Mary Austin.
In 1992, a concert was held in memory of the great musician, the proceeds of which were sent to the AIDS Foundation. In 1996, a monument to Freddie Mercury was unveiled in Montreux. He stands with his hand up, clutching another famous cane.
It is worth noting that his contribution to music was so significant that Freddie even took the honorable 58th place in the hundred of the greatest Britons in history, conducted by the BBC.
Movies about Freddie Mercury
Several films were made about Freddie - documentaries and feature films. In 2006, the documentary Untold Story was released. In 2018, the feature film Bohemian Rhapsody was shot about the band Queen and Mercury. Movie about Freddie Mercury 2018 appeared at the box office since the beginning of November.
Also, in honor of the musician, at least 2 monuments were opened - In Montreux in Switzerland and in London.
The personal life of Freddie Mercury still does not go unnoticed! Who is he really? Why is he so famous? And why do opinions differ about him? Someone condemns him and considers his behavior unworthy and immoral, while someone admires and considers him a genius?
Freddie Mercury is a famous British singer and songwriter. He was remembered by everyone for his unusual appearance: a swarthy and tall handsome man, dark-haired and brown-eyed, and, of course, the legendary star of the Queen group.
Singer biography
The artist was born on September 5 in 1946. Freddie Mercury's parents were not rich. My father was an accountant in court, and my mother worked as a cleaner. The singer is Parsi by nationality.
In 1954, the boy began to study at St. Peter's School. It was there that the guy began to get involved in music. His friends could not pronounce his real name Farrukh and called him Freddy. This is how the pseudonym came about. Farrukh is translated as "Happiness".
At the age of 10, Freddie was recognized as the champion in school tennis competitions among students. And at the age of 12 he received a diploma for excellence in studies and art. Soon the parents sent the boy to piano lessons.
In 1958, Freddie gathered a small group of musicians who formed a rock band. In 1962, Farrukh graduated from high school and returned to his parental home. But due to political changes, the boy and his parents had to move to England. This period was very difficult for their family. For some time they had to stay with relatives, and Freddie, as the oldest child, had to go to work.
In 1966, Mercury entered the London College of Art. In 1970, the musician became the vocalist of the Smile group, which was later renamed Queen. In 1975, Freddie Mercury and the group began to actively tour not only around the country, but also abroad. This was the beginning of Mercury's great fame in "Queen".
His songs are still heard today. Freddie Mercury's composition "We are the Champions" has become the most recognizable song in the world, as well as the anthem of some sports. Mercury said that no one could come up with a better one, because this is the song of the winners.
Freddie Mercury - personal life, wife, children
The personal life of the singer Freddie Mercury causes a storm of indignation to this day. His unconventional orientation and countless casual relationships are still discussed, and many even make money from it. Freddie himself said that he is very amorous and it is quite easy to deceive and hurt him. When he is in love, he becomes vulnerable.
Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin
At the end of 1968, Freddie Mercury met Mary Austin. As husband and wife, the couple lived together for almost seven years. However, the relationship between Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin did not work out.
According to Mercury's wife, they had to leave due to Freddie's confession of his bisexual orientation. Children in this marriage, of course, did not appear. Although in one of the interviews the singer admitted that he would like to have a family and children. Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin remained good friends.
After breaking up with Mary Austin, Freddie Mercury suffered for a long time. He dedicated many of his songs to her and their love story.
Freddie Mercury and Jim Hutton
After the previous breakup, the singer's personal life did not end. The last relationship in the life of Freddie Mercury was Jim Hutton. They met in 1980 in a gay bar. Freddie Mercury and his partner Jim Hutton quickly bonded. Soon, the lovers ceased to be shy about their status and Hutton openly called the singer “His husband”. Freddie Mercury even gave Jim Hutton an engagement ring.
Jim Hutton provided all kinds of moral support to his lover. And the musician appreciated it very much. The Queen group reacted quite calmly to these homosexual relationships.
On November 23, 1994, Freddie Mercury officially announced that he had AIDS. And on November 24 of the same year, he died. The singer's death was not a surprise. A few years before the death of Freddie Mercury, fans noticed that their idol began to look worse, lost weight and haggard. It was then that a rumor began to spread about his fatal illness.
Freddie Mercury has died at the age of 45. How many hits could this creative person write? According to experts, Freddie died of pneumonia, which was provoked by HIV.
But the funeral ceremony was held only for relatives and relatives of Freddie Mercury. The musician's body was cremated, and only relatives knew where he was buried. Despite the fact that Freddie Mercury has been gone for a very long time, his songs are still listened to and loved. He is a true legend of rock music!
