		Freddie soon discovered his love for art and music, both subjects that he explored voraciously (he began taking piano lessons around this time), putting his newly found piano talent to use as he played in rock & roll bands with friends.
		It was during an early Queen show that Freddie's mic stand accidentally snapped in half, and instead of replacing it, Mercury carried on with the damaged stand, which ultimately became an on-stage trademark for the singer.
		By the late '80s, Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS, but decided to keep his condition under wraps as he focused on recording further albums with Queen (1989's The Miracle and 1991's Innuendo) as well as issuing sporadic solo singles ("The Great Pretender," "Time") and an opera-meets-pop album with Montserrat Caballé entitled Barcelona.

	Freddie Mercury, Video Streams
		While Freddie Mercury dedicated the major part of his creative energies to the all-consuming project that was Queen, such was his appetite for music that not all of it could be fulfilled within the parameters of Queen.
		Freddie's love of the dance music he was surrounded by at the time shows through in tracks such as I Was Born To Love You and Living On My Own (which, remixed in 1993, gave Freddie a posthumous No.1 hit, an Ivor Novello award, and, surprisingly, the only No.1 of his solo career).
		Freddie's love of theatre, and great admiration for his first pop idol, Cliff Richard, accounts for the track Time, the title song of Dave Clark's successful West End musical in which Cliff starred (the show, coincidentally, played at the Dominion Theatre, now the home to Queen's own smash hit musical, We Will Rock You).

		Freddie's much loved sense of self parody reached a zenith with his cover version of The Platter's song The Great Pretender in 1987, the video of which recorded him descending a sweeping staircase among acres of identical cardboard cut-outs of himself.
		Freddie Mercury, who majored in stardom while giving new meaning to the wortd showmanship left a legacy of songs which will never lose their stature as classics to live on forever.
