Freddie Mercury (Born Farrokh Bulsara, gujarati ફારોખ બલ્સારા) was a singer and songwriter from 1964 to 1991. In 1970, he formed the rock band Queen with Brian May and Roger Taylor, and the group would later hire John Deacon.

Mercury died at the age of 45 due to bronchial pneumonia brought on by AIDS, but his music remains very popular.
