| Freddie Mercury (Click on image above for enlargement) |
Mercury was originally named Farrokh Bulsara and was born of Parsi descent in the Sultanate of Zanzibar where he grew into his mid-teens before moving with his family to Middlesex, England. He ultimately formed the band Queen in 1970 with Brian May and Roger Taylor.
Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé, with whom Mercury recorded an album, expressed her opinion that “the difference between Freddie and almost all the other rock stars was that he was selling the voice.”
She added, “His technique was astonishing. No problem of tempo, he sang with an incisive sense of rhythm, his vocal placement was very good and he was able to glide effortlessly from a register to another. He also had a great musicality. His phrasing was subtle, delicate and sweet or energetic and slamming. He was able to find the right coloring or expressive nuance for each word.”
In 1992 Mercury was posthumously awarded the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, with a tribute concert held at Wembley Stadium, London. As a member of Queen, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004, and the band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2002. In 2002, he was placed at number 58 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Consistently voted one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music, Mercury was voted best male singer of all time in a 2005 poll organised by Blender, and he was ranked at 18 on the 2008 Rolling Stone list of the 100 greatest singers ever. He was elected in 2009 as the best rock singer of all time by Classic Rock — and was described by AllMusic as “one of rock's greatest all-time entertainers,” with “one of the greatest voices in all of music.”
Mercury died in 1991 at age 45 due to complications from AIDS.

Metal prints are uniquely durable with vibrant colors, brilliant luminescent images, and exceptional detail. They represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, your images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/ weatherproof and can be cleaned easily – just avoid direct sunlight. Float Mount Hangers are attached to the back of the print, and float the print 1/2-inch off the wall when hung. Styles and selection vary based on the size of the print ordered. |
