Freddie Mercury fue un compositor y músico reconocido de manera internacional por liderar la banda de rock británica Queen en donde era vocalista y en ocasiones tocaba el piano.
En vida, como interprete, siempre destacó por su poderosa voz y sus muy extravagantes puestas en escena. Compuso algunos de los más grandes éxitos de Queen, entre ellos: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to Love", "Don't Stop Me Now" y "We Are the Champions".

En vida, como interprete, siempre destacó por su poderosa voz y sus muy extravagantes puestas en escena. Compuso algunos de los más grandes éxitos de Queen, entre ellos: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to Love", "Don't Stop Me Now" y "We Are the Champions".
A solo un día después de comunicar oficialmente que padecía Sida, murió de una bronconeumonía derivada del virus del VIH. Su fallecimiento, precisamente el 24 de noviembre de 1991, conmocionó al mundo de la música.
El legado de Mercury permanece y sin duda "Bohemian Rhapsody" es un claro ejemplo de que los interpretes no mueren del todo pues su música los hace perdurar, con esta canción yo me imagino que lo hará por varias generaciones más.
La siguiente es la tarjeta táctil de Freddie Mercury que nos hace reflexionar si es esta la vida real ó es esto pura fantasía:
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me

Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows...
