What do you think ?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and state everybody likes at least one Queen song, which, in my book, makes them the most popular band ever. (including the beatles and the stones) I think they appealed to a wider variety of people...

An absolute legend, the likes of which I doubt we will see again. Thank you for the great music, Freddie!

I love playing bohemian rhapsody in bars and watching the reaction.. At some point, the entire place will start singing and finish the song together. It's beautiful and hilarious to witness.

The only thing bigger than Freddie Mercury's voice was his heart. He was so good and kind to all who knew him, a fact proved by the immense love that was given to him in return. He was an amazing performer with a incredible voice and talent that he so generously shared with the world and we are all the better for it. He will always and forever be sorely missed but he will NEVER be forgotten. The show may go on but without Freddie it has lost a kind of magic only he could provide. Thank you Freddie for everything. PEACE and LOVE ☮ ♥ ♥ ☮

Honestly, I was never a big fan of Queen (not completely sure why, I think a lot of their popular songs are rather repetitive, though some really stand out to me like "Somebody to Love" and "Don't Stop Me Now"), but I've always had a thing for Freddie Mercury. His voice was absolutely wonderful and ... he just seemed really lovable.

His is one of the best bands ever!

Why is it, that to this day, some people STILL claim that Mercury was gay, when he was actually very openly bisexual? Are humans just so ridiculously biphobic that they think you can only be “one or the other”? How stupid is that!
