The Life of the Characters Written by Freddy Mokuri

1946 On September 5th, Bomi Bulsara and his wife Jer Bulsara, who lived in Stone Town, welcomed their first child on an island called Zanzibar near Tanzania, Africa. As a boy, he seems to have a spirit lurking in his infancy. They named him Farok Bursala, Farok. Farrokh's parents had been living in India before, but they came here because of job transfer. Suo believes in Zoroastrianism and has a happy family life. The man is the cashier of the Supreme Court and belongs to the civil service level.

When Farrokh was one year old, he moved to India to go to his aunt and grandmother. Five years later, his sister Ka Smira was born. Farok entered St Peter's English Boarding School in Panigani (near Mumbai). As a boarding school for boys, Farouk has enough freedom and space to do what he wants. In addition to showing his unique artistic talent, Farouk also likes sports very much. He is proficient in hockey, boxing and sprinting. He is left-handed (I heard that left-handed people are very creative) and boxing is also great. But what he is best at is table tennis. 10 years old, the school table tennis champion. It was here that Farouk got the nickname "Freddie", and since then, Freddie has become his name. It was also from this time that the boy began his musical journey under the name of Freddie.

His artistic talent is becoming more and more outstanding. /kloc-When he was 0/2 years old, he won the "All-round Youth" trophy for the school and participated in the recording of campus records. His crazy obsession with music and talent made the principal pay attention to him and advised his parents to let him learn piano. Facts have proved how important the headmaster's persuasion is, otherwise Freddie we know today is likely to be a table tennis star, not a rock star. Freddie began to learn the piano and joined the school choir (which means regular haircut, which he hates). During this period, the music he came into contact with was mainly Indian music, but because St. Peter was an English school, western music began to exert a subtle influence on him. Of course, his love for classicism is beyond doubt. The diverse musical elements of classicism, Indian music, Persian music and western music gave Freddie rich musical nourishment and laid a solid foundation for his later glory. So the wandering childhood and turbulent life made Freddie in a sense. 1958, that is, when Freddie 12 years old, he and four other friends from school, Derek Branch, Bruce Murray, Farang irani and Shengli Rana, formed the first rock band in his life, but Freddie didn't realize his singing talent at this time. He is a pianist in the band instead of a lead singer. Even so, the other members of the band realized that he was different. "He hinted at a mysterious power, the music on the radio, and he could completely play it once." Their band can perform at school festivals, celebrations and dances, but other than that, no one knows that Freddie disappeared after graduation.

After graduating from high school, 17-year-old Freddie returned to Sanjibayar Island, but his quiet life was soon broken. 1964 The Sanjibajad Revolution (1964 Zanzibar Revolution) broke out, forcing the Freddy family to leave the wrong place. This year, they moved to England. The unrest embarrassed their wealthy family, who lived in a small house in Feltham, London. Freddie entered Isleworth Polytechnic in west London, later renamed the Art Department of West Times College, and began to study. During his first summer vacation in England, Freddie did a lot of work in order to save enough money to go to his favorite art university. He got a job in a nursing home and Heathrow airport, and in addition, he got a job as a porter in the Fairsham real estate exchange. The out-and-out manual labor obviously doesn't match his slender limbs (his legs are surprisingly thin ~), and his colleagues are even more surprised. Freddie told them that he studied art and did this job for tuition. As a result, the workers were shocked and took the initiative to help him share the work (Freddie is so old that his personality charm began to appear ...) ... Freddie studied very hard. Of course, his interest in aesthetics is far greater than that in theory. Finally, he graduated from Elvas Institute of Technology with an "A" in art.1September, 1966, he got his wish and entered Yiling Art Institute to study graphic illustration. He was 20 years old that year.

At this time, Freddie had his own rock idol jimi hendrix (super super guitar master, it is said that he can play guitar with n body parts, and he is also an alcoholic, and interested friends can check it out). He was obsessed with the guitarist who was red and purple at that time, and often drew sketches of jimi hendrix anywhere he could find, on the wall of his bedroom ... At that time, he lived in an apartment rented to him by his friend chris smith. By the way, this chris smith, who has a very deep friendship with Freddie, is a musician himself and almost replaced John Deacon to join Queen. Please refer to John's introduction below for details.

Speaking of Kensington, it is a gathering place for art lovers (MS is because of BIMA Store and Kensington Department Store). Perhaps the life in this period laid a certain foundation for Freddy's future music road. Speaking of Freddie's personality charm, although people who know him say that he is a shy and introverted person (don't be fooled by his typhoon, he is a paper tiger) and has a crazy sense of humor (contradiction ~), his popularity is still very good. In college, he soon became friends with a bassist named Tim Stafford. With the deepening of friendship, Tim began to take him to rehearse his band, namely Smile, the predecessor of the future queen. At that time, Freddie first met Brian May (guitarist) and roger taylor (drummer). Later, they became members of Queen. They were friends and best partners of Freddie's life. And because of their talent, Freddie became a loyal fan of Smile, and he especially appreciated Brian's exquisite guitar solo. Smiling gave him the motivation to keep trying to be a band, and he began to practice music consciously, accompanied by Tim, Nigel Foster and chris smith, who were the first witnesses and diggers of Freddie's amazing beautiful voice. "He plays the piano very well, with Mozart's style, but what surprises us more is his voice. He has a mysterious power, very unique. Most of his creations are improvised. He didn't have any plans in advance. He just sat in front of the piano and played with his own thoughts, but the effect was fascinating. " Chris said.

1June, 969, Freddie graduated from Yiling Art College. With a diploma in graphic arts and design and a reward for publishing works in newspapers, he moved into an apartment in roger taylor. At this time, the lead singer of the future great band and the drummer established a solid friendship. They opened a shop in Kensington Shopping Center together, selling some artworks and Victorian clothes to earn a little money.

In August 13 of the same year, I was introduced to Liverpool and met a trio band called Ibex (guitarist Mike Bosing, bassist John Tupou Taylor and drummer Mick Miff Smith). They were quickly moved by Freddie's amazing voice. Only after 10 days, Freddie joined them and went to Bolton with them to attend a music festival called "Bluesology pop-in". In queens park, Bolton, Freddie made his first official appearance in public, and his performance was very successful. The band made a newspaper, took news photos and recorded the performance by Jeff Higgins. According to Jeff Higgins, their performances have a strong flavor of jimi hendrix and led zeppelin. They are both idols of Freddie.

1September 1969 to1October, at Freddie's insistence, Ibex was renamed as wreck. Then the membership changed. The original drummer of the band was changed from Mike Milford Smith to Richard Thompson, which seemed to indicate that the foundation of the band was shaken. Soon, there were fewer and fewer performances. Finally, when john tyler, Richard Thompson and Freddie chose to stay in London, and Mike Bossing had to go back to Liverpool for university because of his parents' orders, the wreckage was dissolved.

At this time, he continued to look for a new band. Soon, at a music exchange called Melody Maker, he saw an advertisement for the lead singer of Sour Milk Sea. He thinks this is a good choice, and other members of this band appreciate his penetrating voice and wide range. Not only that, but what surprised them most was Freddie's performance on the stage. "His typhoon fully showed the most gorgeous and flamboyant side of his personality. Every time I watch Queen's LIVE in the future, I will think of his first performance in Ibex, and that extraordinary expressive force will be revealed. " Ken Testi recalled. It's true. Typhoon is not a skill that can be cultivated, it is an innate charm and spirituality. Freddie knows how to combine his talent with his voice, modeling, musical skills and aesthetics. This is also an important reason why the queen became a live model on the spot.

/kloc-at the end of 0/969, Freddie officially joined Yogurt Sea. Other members include lead singer and guitarist Chris chesney, bassist Paul Milan, lead guitarist Jeremy Gallup and drummer Rob Tyrell. They rehearsed together for a while, and then went to Oxford for several performances.

At that time, Freddie and Chris were both 17 years old and they became inseparable friends. Soon, Chiles moved into the apartment shared by Freddie and Smiling members (Ferry Road, Barnes). This caused the envy and dissatisfaction of other members of the yogurt sea, and the future of the band became more and more blurred. Only three months later, Jeremy took all his musical instruments and the yogurt sea was officially dissolved.

After several bands, Freddie began to doubt whether he could realize his dream. But as Tim Stafford (the friend who introduced Freddie to Brian May and roger taylor) left Smile, a turning point, or an epoch-making beginning, came. 1970, Freddie officially joined the smile, and the isomorphism with Brian May and roger taylor became the basic prototype of the Queen. Freddie changed the name of Smile to The Queen, and together with Brian May and roger taylor, he created the earliest works of The Queen. After writing Fariy Queen, Freddie decided to change his surname from Bulsara to Mercury. The reason is that Brian May said in an interview: "My Fariy King" was composed by Freddy, and there was a line in the lyrics, "Mother Mercury, what did you do to me? ("Oh, Mother Mercury, what have you done to me?"), he told me that this song was written for his mother,' I am the son of Mother Mercury, so I will change my surname to Mercury'. Freddie Mercury was born in this way. I think it was from this time that he was reborn and became a great legend Freddie Mercury. It's not as simple as changing the name. It seems to me that there is a force guiding the development of all this. In this year, Freddie also met the love of his life, Mary Austin,. (The story between him and Mary Austin will be introduced in detail in the next article, so it will be skipped) 197 1 In February, with the addition of bassist John Deacon (refer to John's information in the bar for this story), the well-known queen was formally formed. With the release of Queen I and Queen II, the Queen was born, and their third special editor, Pure Heart Attack, officially established their musical status. In the band's album, Freddie is responsible for writing many songs and lyrics. Seven Hailey, written by Freddy in Queen II, became the first hit single of the Queen, and the hit single "A Body to Love" in Pure Heart Attack was also written by Freddy. At the same time, Freddie's cooperation with the other three people is becoming more and more perfect. From these three albums, we can't hear the sound characteristics of Freddie in this period, which is smooth, clear and explosive, but slightly thin. However, the release of the fourth album "Opera Night" announced the arrival of Freddie's perfect voice and the arrival of the Queen's era.

Opera Night (1973) is regarded as a classic album by anyone who knows Queen. Its cover is designed by Freddie himself, and on the white background is an exquisite Logo composed of a lion, a maid, a phoenix, a flame and a cancer around a flower "Q" (these things represent the constellations of four people respectively. Two maids represent himself, two lions represent Roger and John, and one cancer represents Brian). This logo was used by the cover of the Queen's later albums (The Day of the Race, The Greatest II, etc.). ).

In this album, the song Bohemian Rhapsody is the most talked about by fans and critics. This song perfectly interprets Queen's weird and gorgeous style, which is a little opera, a little classical, a little metal, a little crazy and even smells like a church choir. Its bright and beautiful tunes, complex and magnificent guitar solo, unpredictable and ups and downs ... Of course, the most dazzling is the shock brought by Freddie's crack. As the creator of this song, Freddie's mood is filled with a sense of intoxication of nervousness and addiction, and the lyrics of this song have also been debated for decades. What is its main idea? Is all this about Freddie's own pain and entanglement, or is it just based on fictional creation? No one knows that Freddie has taken this secret to heaven forever. It is worth mentioning that this classic handed down from ancient times was actually improvised by Freddie on the piano for only ten minutes. Bohemian Rhapsody's commercial achievements are no less than his artistic value. This single stayed on the British charts for nine weeks!

There is also an interesting story about Bohemian Rhapsody. After the song was recorded, Freddie gave the copied tape as a gift to his DJ friend Kenny Everett (the song had not been released yet), and Freddie told Kenny many times that it was a personal gift and could not be played on the radio program. In fact, Kenny was shocked after listening to it, and played 14 times on his radio program within two days ... Of course, in addition to Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie also wrote four other songs on the album, among which "The Love of My Life" is worth mentioning. Its tenderness is the favorite of many new queen fans. In fact, although they broke up later, Mary got married early and had children, and Freddie died more than ten years later, things can't erase the emotion and emotion of this song. This song is like a mark, representing his desperate love, and that love is also the most beautiful memory of his life.

After the release of this masterpiece, Quinn immediately released "A Day of Competition". This album is like a companion piece of "Night of the Opera" from the cover to the style, but this does not mean that it is a copy of "Night of the Opera". In other words, it is a continuation of the classic. The subsequent release of Jazz and News of the World also inherited the fine tradition of horse racing day. It can be said that the whole 1970s was the "Rhapsody Era" of the Queen. 1975, Queen parachuted into Japan and began their first performance in Asia. As soon as they got off the plane, they were surrounded by fans' screams and flowers. They didn't expect Queen to be treated like the Beatles in Japan. The concert received enthusiastic response, and the two sets of costumes at the concert were also the most exquisite ones in Queen LIVE.

While the glory of rock and roll was burning, Freddie finally had a chance to realize his long-cherished wish-to give a ballet performance. As an avid ballet fan, he has always hoped to have a ballet performance of his own (as can be seen from the tight clothes in his previous concerts, it is very ballet-like). On June 7th, 1979, 10, with the background music of Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie and the Royal Ballet performed a ballet performance in front of one of his fans' houses, and the performance was warmly cheered and applauded. 1980, Freddie changed his style. He cut off his long hair at first (including short curly hair in the later period) and grew a beard. This style is also the most familiar to Queen fans later. The voice of the queen also changed with the shape.

Musically, they added more elements of pop dance music in their constant attempts. This time, the change is complicated. More critics have given negative comments that Queen has lost her rock style and strength, and many fans also think so. Album sales began to decline, and Queen also entered a low tide for the first time. In fact, to be fair, there are many good songs in this period's album. We should trust our own taste and judgment when listening, and don't have to be influenced by the voice of critics. We can't say that the change of style is Queen's failure, only that this change is not to the taste of most people. Of course, there are also many popular singles in this period, and "Another big defeat" is a typical one.

So did Freddie play a leading role in the change of style? First of all, guitarist Brian May and drummer roger taylor in The Queen insist on tough style, while bassist John Deacon prefers pop style. Where is Freddie? He is a polyhedron. He likes Led Zepplin and jimi hendrix, and he also likes the Beatles and aretha franklin. He also admired Michael Jackson and even collaborated with him in songs. We don't know whether he decided to change his style or not. We can only say that he tends to change in this confrontation. 1982, influenced by the queen's low tide, the four reached an understanding and separated for a period of time to develop their respective careers. During this period, Freddie came up with the idea of releasing a solo album. He rented a studio in Musicland, Munich, and began to prepare his solo album in it. During this period, he met Georgio Moroder, who worked for the sci-fi movie Metropolis, and

And accepted the invitation to write lyrics to sing the theme song "Love to Kill", which is the only time he sang the theme song for the film in his personal capacity. 1983, Freddie participated in a performance named Verdi's "Un Ballo" in Maschera, where he met the famous Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé for the first time and was moved by her singing, which paved the way for them to sing Barcelona's Olympic theme song together.

September 1984, Freddie's first solo single "Love to Kill". On April 9th of the following year, Freddie's first solo album "Mr. Bad Guy" was released. On the cover of this album, Freddie has a classic 80' s moustache and wears a pair of oversized sunglasses. Look at him on this cover, and think about his exquisite and charming dress in the 1970s. Not only will you feel that time has passed, but Freddie is gradually saying goodbye to his past self. His voice is no longer thin and clear; His clothes tend to be masculine and concise; His heart ... I'm afraid no one can know. It is worth mentioning that this album also produced a hit single "I was born to love you", which was later included in Queen's last album "A Match Made in Heaven".

The release of the first album didn't make Freddie go solo. Maybe he thinks his light can be maximized in Queen, and the other three members obviously think so. 1985, they reunited and attended a concert that was of great significance to them, providing on-site assistance. This is a successful performance, destined to go down in history forever. In front of 72,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium, the Queen's light overshadowed all the participating rock stars, and the four members seemed to find something back in this performance. 1At the beginning of 987, Freddie released his solo single "The Great Pretender".

1987 in March, Freddie met the famous Spanish soprano Monserrat Caballe in Barcelona. He gave her a tape with several of his songs on it. The Spanish soprano was so fascinated by Freddie's music that she even sang one of them in Covent Garden in London. Freddie was so happy that he promised to sing a song with her. In the list of the best Olympic songs in the past, one song has always been on the list, and that is Barcelona. This song is not only magnificent, but also a perfect combination of bel canto and rock, and it is the masterpiece of Freddie and Caballe. 1988 10 10 On 8th October, at Ranit Music Festival in Barcelona, they sang three songs from their upcoming album, including this one "Barcelona" accompanied by Mike Moran (the other two songs are "How should I go on" and "The Golden Boy"). In the same year, 10, 10, this long-awaited album was finally released.

"Barcelona" If Freddie has the last light on the stage, 101October 8, no one would have thought that this would be his last performance on the stage. Freddie, suffering from AIDS, knew that his life was coming to an end, but he didn't announce the sad news. He even continued to work, compose music, sing and shoot MVs ... There are many signs that the MV of "I am going to be frivolous" is his last masterpiece. In the MV, he has fluffy hair and neutral makeup, and there is a trace of sadness in his crazy self-deprecating posture. The lyrics, tune and soundtrack of this song are all remote and unfamiliar, interspersed with Freddie's unbridled and unruly laughter. 199 1, alluding to the album release. This album is the miraculous return of the Queen. They were lost in electronic music and dance music in the 1980s, but in the 1970s, they rediscovered the gorgeous heavy metal style. Album sales are rising, and people seem to see the reappearance of the queen's era ... however, this is a complete rebound.

Freddy's unparalleled voice and inspiration ultimately belong to God. 1991165438+1On October 24th, Freddie died of AIDS in his villa in London. Before his death, he had several close friends, including his boyfriend Jim Hutton (no other members of the Queen). According to his will, most of his legacy was left to his ex-girlfriend Mary Austin,, including his villa in London. The whereabouts of the ashes are still a mystery. One view is that the ashes were kept by Mary Austin,, another view is that the ashes were scattered in Lake Geneva (where the famous bronze statue is located), and another view is that the ashes were taken back to Sambayar Island by their parents, where Freddie was born.

1992, the "Concert in Memory of Freddie Mercury" sponsored by three other members of Queen was held at Wembley Stadium in London, and returned to Wembley, where Freddy sang in a classic yellow coat in 1986. Everything has changed. The people of Sri Lanka have passed away. On the contrary, it has been interpreted by many friends in the circle, and rock music plays an important role in many places. That kind of atmosphere, the crowd mixed with sadness and passionate cheers, can't be described by any language. The fans still held high the banner with Freddie's name on it and shouted his name. Brian sobbed and sang "Too much love will kill you", and robert plant, the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, was present. Led Zeppelin was Freddie's idol, and robert plant sang Freddie's songs to commemorate his death ... 1995 "Made in Heaven" was released, which was the last album of the Queen with the soul of Freddie Mercury. Most of the tracks were recorded in Freddie's ward before his death, and the album was snapped up by fans as soon as it was released. Everything may be meaningless. Freddie Mercury saw the light at the end of his life. On his deathbed, he recorded his last album.

The real curtain call performance, Freddie is the only one. His passion, regret, tears, pride and unyielding, all his soul is dedicated to heaven and earth. Everyone's paradise, a match made in heaven, Let me live, Too much love will kill you ... It was a cry and a struggle. That kind of light, that last light, shines into the souls of all listeners in an instant. I dare not elaborate on the contents of Heaven and Earth in words. Any elaboration by anyone except Freddie is a blasphemy against this album. I once saw a news on TV that there is a technology that can turn the ashes of the dead into diamonds. This diamond is predestined. Pierce the mysterious and sharp light into everyone's heart.

I don't know what words to use to end this biography. Words are pale, even music will become pale-in front of life. I dare not say that Freddie's death is a kind of eternal life. He was so attached to and even addicted to all kinds of things in this world before his death. But what is certain is that he left a great legacy in this world-no-a whole rock era. Miss you, Freddie.
