	Freddie Mercury
		Freddie Mercury (September 5, 1946 - November 24, 1991) was a British pop singer born Faroukh Bulsara in Zanzibar.
		With a wide vocal range, and a somewhat operatic technique, he was one of the most technically accomplished singers to work in the pop idiom, as well as the composer of many of Queen's hits, including Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love[?] and We Are the Champions.
		Mercury appears in the 2002 List of "100 Greatest Britons" (sponsored by the BBC and voted for by the public).

	Freddie Mercury - Biography - AOL Music
		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.
		But by 1991, Mercury's battle with AIDS had taken a turn for the worse, and on November 24, 1991 (just one day after deciding to go public with his ailment), Mercury died at his home in London.
