in honour of bohemian rhapsody coming out in less than a month, I wanted to do a thread of the most iconic things freddie mercury did so y'all can get to know him

although most people know about him and queen's music, y'all dont know how iconic he actually was, so before stan twitter falls for rami's freddie for like a week (rami u deserve better), let's appreciate the original hbic

ok so,
farrokh bulsara (later changed to freddie mercury ofc) was born in 1946, in zanzibar, he was born with parsi decent and grew up in both zanzibar and india before later moving to england with his family

he was a singer, songwriter and record producer, and obviously the lead vocalist of queen

he had an estimated four - octave vocal range and is considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time, especially due to his unique tone and his ability to change his style from line to line ((your faves could nEVER))
