Biografia
E' il cantante (e che cantante!) e front-man dei
Queen.Il suo vero nome era Faroohk Bulsara,è nato
a Zanzibar (nell'attuale Tanzania) il 5 Settembre
del 1946,i suoi genitori erano inglesi.Il padre
era un diplomatico britannico che quindi si
spostava di frequente.Freddie vive la sua
infanzia a Bombay (in India) dove i suoi
insegnanti iniziano a notare la sua
predisposizione per la musica e consigliano ai
suoi genitori di fargli prendere lezioni di
piano.Poco tempo dopo Freddie forma il suo primo
gruppo "The Hectics". Quando Freddie ha 18 anni
la sua famiglia si trasferisce in Gran Bretagna,a
Feltham,poi a Londra dove Freddie studia
all'Istituto d'arte Ealing College,qui incontra
Tim Staffell.Dopo aver conosciuto Tim e Brian si
accresce in lui l'idea di formare un gruppo.Prima
dei Queen,negli anni 60-inizio 70 Freddie milita
negli "Ibex" e nei "Wreckage".Quando Tim Staffell
lascia gli "Smile",il gruppo in cui suonava il
basso e cantava insieme a Brian e Roger,Freddie
si unisce a loro e successivamente al gruppo si
unisce John Deacon che viene scelto dopo che i
tre avevano provato diversi bassisti.Nasce così
il gruppo che Freddie chiamerà Queen.Freddie si
era ribattezzato Freddie MercuryFreddie era un
nomignolo che gli era stato dato a scuola mentre
Mercury era in onore del dio greco mercurio,il
messaggero dell'Olimpo.Inizia così un periodo
(più di 20 anni) di grande successo che porta
Freddie e i Queen al successo mondiale e alla
fama che tutti conosciamo.Pur non essendosi mai
separato dai Queen ha fatto (come anche Brian e
Roger) anche dei progetti da solistai suoi album
sono Mr.Bad Guy uscito nel 1985 e Barcelona
(insieme a Montserrat Caballe) uscito nel
1988.Questi album hanno riscosso un buonissimo
successo,soprattutto Barcelona che è bellissimo
ed unico nel suo genere.Nell'album Barcelona
Freddie dimostra tutta la sua passione per
l'opera e la sua stima per Montserrat Caballè con
la quale nasce anche una forte amicizia. Gli
piaceva moltissimo anche Jimi Hendrix sin da
quando era ragazzo.Amava molto i gatti,infatti ha
dedicato una canzone al suo preferito
Delilah.Gli piacevano anche i fiori,lo champagne
e le torte,e amava dare delle feste molto
stravaganti.Freddie era una persona molto
generosa e sensibile,con la sua musica voleva
trasmettere gioia alle persone. Purtroppo nel
1987 ha scoperto di essere malato di AIDS,ciò
nonostante ha reagito con grande forza e si è
impegnato a sfruttare al meglio il suo tempo per
realizzare tutte le sue idee. Da questo momento
più che mai ha vissuto la sua vita privata in
maniera molto riservata ed ha annunciato solo il
giorno prima di morire di essere malato di AIDS e
ha trascorso i suoi ultimi momenti di vita nella
sua casa a Londra circondato dall'affetto dei
suoi amici più stretti.Il 24 Novembre del 1991 è
scomparso lasciando un grande vuoto nel mondo
della musica e nei cuori dei fan ai quali ha dato
il suo ultimo saluto alla fine del video di These
are the days of our lives.

Ultima intervista
Se dovessi morire domani, non mi preoccuperei.
Dalla vita ho avuto tutto. Rifarei tutto quello
che ho fatto? Certo, perché no?. Magari un po'
diversamente! lo cerco solo di essere genuino e
sincero e spero che questo traspaia dalle mie
canzoni" "Non voglio cambiare il mondo, lascio
che le canzoni che scrivo esprimano le mie
sensazioni e i miei sentimenti. Per me, la
felicità è la cosa più importante e se sono
felice il mio lavoro lo dirnostra. Alla fine
tutti gli errori e tutte le scuse sono da
imputare solo a me. Mi piace pensare di essere
stato solo me stesso e ora voglio soltanto avere
la maggior quantità possibile di gioia e
serenità, e immagazzinare quanta più vita riesco,
per tutto il poco tempo che mi resta da vivere"
(ultima intervista di Freddie Mercury, 1991).

Hanno detto di lui
"Molti tra i più grandi concerti a cui ho
partecipato come organizzatore, erano quelli dei
Queen. Freddie fu uno dei più grandi cantanti che
la Gran Bretagna ha prodotto."
"Semplicemente fù una delle figure più
importanti del rock'n'roll di questi ultimi venti
anni. Noi ricorderemo Freddie Mercury come
qualcosa di veramente speciale."
"A mio avviso è stato un genio che ha
costantemente esplorato ogni area della musica
popolare contemporanea, dal rock al blues, dal
jazz all'opera e oltre."
"Freddie fu enorme fonte di ispirazione per me.
Religiosamente assistevo agli spettacoli dei
Queen anno dopo anno, aspettando impazientemente
ogni loro nuovo album."
"Se ami la musica, non puoi non aver amato
Freddie. Egli era un meraviglioso showman che non
sarà mai dimenticato."
"Mercury e i Queen possedevano uno stile unico
impossibile imitarli."

mistakes we made must be faced today It's not
easy now knowing where to start While the world
we love tears itself apart I'm just a singer with

a singer with a melody I'm caught in between With
a fading dream In my defence In my defence what

truth Then like a passing song Love is here and

closer to the fire To love and live that one
desire Denial of that love is treason The love
that we make The force of our lives and it's
reason We are mortal In the hands of Gods who
roll the dice Searching for an earthly
paradise So hard to find We are mortal Victims of
our weaknessess and passion. (I am falling, I am
falling we, we are mortal) Why do I believe in
you You're destroying my world Hold nothing
back Give me all there is I want it all This is
all there is Prisoners of each others
love Prisoners of each others love
Free me, free yourself A life of sacrifice
controlled me But those promises I made No longer
hold me Mercurial more wayward by the hour The
shackles fall away I'm in your power Free me, and
free yourself Come to me and let me lead you I
beg you, I beseech you to let go My heaven is
yours And heaven is all I know We are mortal In
the hands of God who roll the dice Searching for
an earthly paradise So hard to find We are
mortal Victims of our weaknesses and passion We
are reaching for the heights (I am falling from

The Golden Boy
The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved
with grace He entertained so naturally, no
gesture out of place His road in life was clearly
ddrawn, he didn't hesistate He played, they saw,
he conquered as the master of his fate. The girl
had an iron soul no-one could recognise Material
ambition that her gentleness disguised She gave
herself to him certain of his fame Wanted him for
luxury, for limelight and his name. And then he
sang to her I love you for your silence I love
you for your peace The still and calm
releases That sweep into my soul That slowly take
control I love you for your passion I love you
for your fire The violent desire That burns me in
its flame A love I dare not name His rise was
irresistable - he grew into the part His
explanation simply that he suffered for his
art No base considerations of some glittering
reward The prize was knowing that his work was
noticed and adored
I love you for your silence I love you for your
peace The still and calm releases That sweep into
my soul That slowly take control Yes he told the
truth Accepting every honour with a masterly
display Of well rehearsed reluctance to be
singled out this way He started to believe that
he was all they said and more While she forgot -
she forgot the reasons she had wanted him
before I love you for your passion I love you for
your fire The violent desire That burns me in its
flame A love I dare not name The still and calm
releases That sweep into my soul That slowly take
control And when at last they fell apart she
wished that she could be The hardened heart of
yesterday, as cynical as he. By changing for the
better, she had changed things for the worse. The
words that made them happy once now echoed ...
echoed as a curse.

There Must Be More To Life Than This
There must be more to life than this There must
be more to life than this How do we cope in a
world without love Mending all those broken
hearts And tending to those crying faces There
must be more to life than living There must be
more than meets the eye Why should it be just a
case of black or white There must be more to life
than this Why is this world so full of
hate People dying everywhere And we destroy what
we create People fighting for their human
rights But we just go on saying c'est la vie So
this is life There must be more to life than
killing A better way for us to survive What good
is life, in the end we all must die There must be
more to life than this There must be more to life
than this There must be more to life than this I
live and hope for a world filled with love Then
we can all just live in peace There must be more
to life, much more to life There must be more to
life, more to life than this

You had to kill the conversation You always had

Got a one-way ticket and you're all set to go
But we have one more day together, so Love me
like there's no tomorrow Hold me in your arms,
tell me you mean it This is our last goodbye and
very soon it will be over But today just love me

in separate ways I don't have all that far to go
God knows I learnt to play the lonely man I've
never felt so low in all my life We were born to
be just losers So I guess there's a limit on how
far we go But we only have one more day together
so
Love me like there's no tomorrow Hold me in your
arms, tell me you mean it This is our last
goodbye and very soon it will be over But today
just love me like there's no tomorrow Tomorrow

easy now knowing where to start While the world
we love tears itself apart I'm just a singer with

a singer with a melody I'm caught in between With
a fading dream In my defence In my defence what
is there to say We destroy the love - it's our
way We never listen enough never face the
truth Then like a passing song Love is here and
then it's gone I'm just a singer with a song
