Freddie

Freddie Mercury is the greatest singer of all time  according to science. He was able to create a faster vibrato and several more layers of harmonics than anyone else. Freddie Mercury was the frontman of a band called Queen, formed in 1970 with Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon . Their most popular song is Bohemian Rhapsody released in 1979 and stayed in number 1 for nine weeks. It was also the first song ever to get to number one in the UK twice with the same version, and is also the only single to have been Christmas number one twice with the same version. Freddie Mercurys personality on stage was different than his private life, no one really knew much about him. There was one person that he trusted and loved the most, Mary Austin. She was the one that probably knew the most about him, and Mary is the only one that knows where his ashes are. Except for Mary, the was another thing Freddie loved the most, cats. Freddie loved all of his cats but there was one cat he loved the most, Delilah, adopted in 1987, she stole his heart. Freddie was gay, he didn't want anyone to know about it because back then, so many people where homophobic and treated LGBTI people horribly. According to his partner, Jim Hutton, in 1987, Freddie was diagnosed with AIDS. He didn't tell anyone about it, kept it a secret untill the day before he died, he  announced he had AIDS. It's believed Delilah was always by his side when he was dying. Mary Austin and Jim Hutton where also with him. After he died, thousands of his fans gathered around  his house leaving notes all over the walls.
