Happy birthday, Freddie

I will not copy from multiple sites his biography, just make a little squeeze, in my opinion, important.

Freddie Mercury was born on September 5, 1946 in Zanzibar, and his name was then Farrukh Bulsara. Freddie he was with the light hand of his friends, and took the pseudonym Mercury himself much later, in 1970, - whether to honor the quirky god Mercury, whether in honor of the ruling planet of the same name by all Devas.

From an early age Freddie was crazy about music. He listened to the records on the old home player, putting them in a pile and scroll continuously. Listening to music, Freddie loved to sing. The music was mostly Indian, though sometimes come and western - he sang all and strongly favored such an occupation schoolwork.

On the musical ability of Freddie noticed headmaster of St. Peter, where Freddie studied. The director wrote a letter to his parents, where he offered for a small fee to give him an opportunity to seriously pursue music. They agreed, and Freddie began to learn to play the piano. Yet he began singing in the school choir and regularly participated in school theater productions.

The aesthetic aspect of school life appealed to him clearly more than an academic, but he easily gained the desired point on the painting and the spring of 1966 he graduated Aylsvortskoy school. With this score, as well as his natural gift it was readily adopted in Ilingovsky College of Art, and in September 1966 began to undergo a course of graphic illustrations.



Freddie became friends with a student from his college Tim Staffell. As soon as their friendship grew stronger, Tim began to invite Freddie to rehearsals of his band "Smile» (Smile - Smile), where he played bass guitar and sang. In addition to Tim's group included guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. The band's sound has made a lasting impression on Freddie, especially game Brian. Inspired by the "Smile", his first since leaving India launched into a musical experiments.

Freddie finished Ealing in June 1969 with a degree in graphics and design - and a couple of orders for advertising for a local newspaper. He moved to the apartment of Roger Taylor, and that summer they opened at Kensington Market your booth. First sold works Freddie and his fellow college and then all sorts of clothing - new and used, which managed to get.

Freddie found a musical group on an ad in Melody Maker: the group "Saue Milk Sea» (Sour Milk Sea - «Sea yogurt") needed a vocalist. The story about how pompous Freddie appeared before them. Although that day came a few very worthy candidates as soon as Freddie sang, it was clear that they take it. Freddie's voice was distinguished by extraordinary beauty and wide range. But it's not just his voice. Needless his behavior, the ability to present themselves makes an indelible impression. Those who saw the Queen performances even in the record, understand what they mean.

The other members of the group were Chris Chesney (Chris Chesney) - vocals and guitar, bassist Paul Milne, Jeremy 'Rubber' Gallop (Jeremy 'Rubber' Gallop) - rhythm guitar and Rob Tyrell (Rob Tyrell) - drums. They had a few rehearsals, and then a couple of performances in his hometown of Chris Oxford.

Freddie and Chris, who was then about 17 years old, heavily made friends and Chris moved to an apartment on Ferry Road, where he lived together with members of Freddie "Smile." Other members of Sour Milk Sea not very impressed that Freddie and Chris spend so much time together - they were much more concerned about the future of the group. And after two months Jeremy, who owned nearly all the equipment, took it, and it meant the disintegration of the group.



BEGINNING:
In April 1970, Tim decided to leave Staffell "Smile", and took the place of vocalist Freddie. He changed the band's name to Queen, and his name - on Mercury.

In 1971, the group entered John Deacon - Queen were now in full force. Freddie came up with the coat of arms for the group based on the zodiac signs of the participants: two fairies for him (Virgo), two lions for Roger and John (Leo) and a crab for Brian (Cancer). That Freddie was the author of the first songs of Queen, entered the UK charts - (Seven Seas Of Rhye). He also belongs to the first big hit (Killer Queen) and the most famous song of the group (Bohemian Rhapsody), 9 weeks to keep on top of the UK charts. In concert, Freddie was always in the foreground.
