Freddie Mercury, a British musician and composer who was best known as the lead singer of the rock group Queen, was born Farrokh Bulsara and died on November 24, 1991.
He was renowned for his flamboyant stage demeanour and four-octave vocal range and is regarded as one of the best vocalists in the history of rock music. With his theatrical approach, Mercury defied the expectations of a rock leader and influenced Queen’s aesthetic vision.
What was Freddie Mercury cause of death?
HIV/AIDS signs were present in Freddie Mercury as early as 1982. Somebody to Love: The Life, Death, and Legacy of Freddie Mercury, a biography written by Matt Richards and Mark Langthorne, claims that a few weeks prior to Queen’s final American performance with Mercury on Saturday Night Live on September 25, 1982, Mercury secretly visited a doctor in New York City to have a white lesion on his tongue examined.
This lesion may have been hairy leukoplakia, one of the first signs of an infection. On the day of their last US visit, when he started displaying additional symptoms, they added that he had just dated an HIV-positive person.
