You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don’t even believe in astrology. Legend Freddie Mercury

I won’t be a rock star. I will be a legend. Freddie MercuryI’m very emotional; I think I may go mad in several years’ timeI’m just a musical prostituteI always knew I was a starMoney may not buy happinessI dress to kill, but tastefullyI have fun with my clothes onstageIs Billy Idol just doing a bad Elvis pout, or was he born that way?I want to lead the Victorian lifeI’m hopeless with money; I simply spend what I’ve gotWe’re a very expensive group; we break a lot of rulesWhen I’m dead, I want to be remembered as a musicianI designed the Queen crestIt’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock themeMonumentWe were disliked by the press in the early daysThe others don’t like my interviewsThe lavish presentation appeals to me
Legend Freddie Mercury
Onstage, I am a devilIt destroys the soul to hear that you’re all hype, that you have no talentIn the early days, we just wore black onstageI’m not into business at allBritish music press called us a supermarket hypeI think my melodies are superior to my lyricsI like to be surrounded by splendid thingsI guess I’ve always lived the glamorous life of a starI got my diploma from Ealing College of ArtThe reason we’re successful? My overall charisma, of courseWe spent two years putting our act togetherBack in the old days, we were often compared to Led ZeppelinDoing make-upWe’re a bit flashy, but the music’s not one big noiseI might have been killedIf we’re weird onstage, I don’t know what you’d call the TubesWe’re lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the productWhat will I be doing in twenty years’ time? I’ll be dead!Parsi born in Zanzibar and grew up there and in India until his mid-teens
