Fredie Mercury’s incredible items to go to auction
Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar in 1946. He moved to England with his family when he was a teenager, and it was there that he began to pursue his passion for music. In the early 1970s, he formed Queen with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. The band went on to become one of the most successful in the history of rock music, with hits including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” and “Somebody to Love.”
Mercury’s life was tragically cut short when he died of complications related to AIDS in 1991 at the age of 45. His death was a huge loss to the music world, and his legacy has continued to grow in the years since his passing. In 1992, a tribute concert was held at Wembley Stadium in London, featuring some of the biggest names in music. The concert was organized by the surviving members of Queen and was a celebration of Mercury’s life and music.
