“I really don’t want to change the world. To me happiness is the most important thing, to be happy and to have fun. If I’m happy it shows in my work. I take notice of everything, but in the end I just do things how I feel.
I listen to advice, but I can’t listen to everybody otherwise I just wouldn’t be myself. In the end you are your own boss and you crack the whip, which is a very vulnerable position to be in. This is my life, I’m the boss and that’s the only way I know how to be.”

“My uncle and Freddie were classmates at St. Peter’s in Panchgani. They were very good friends and Freddie spent quite some time with my uncle’s relatives in Mumbai during the holidays. Then they went their separate ways.
Years later, around 1974, he happened to be in London and was having a meal at a restaurant. A man detached himself from a small group nearby, and came up to him, and asked if he was ‘X’. It was Freddie. My uncle did not recognise him at all – he looked completely different from school-boy Freddie.
Naturally once he said he was Freddie Bulsara, my uncle was delighted and they chatted for a few minutes, Freddie asked about his family, catching up on old times a bit. And then he left with his friends.
The funny thing about this is that my uncle had absolutely no clue that Freddie Bulsara WAS Freddie Mercury. He was not into rock music, and this was way before the internet. He was just happy to meet his good friend from school.
Freddie never, ever mentioned the Mercury name that day either. When he asked for the check, the waiter told him Freddie had paid his bill, my uncle was pleasantly surprised.
Few months later, when he went to a record store to buy some albums, he saw Freddie’s face on an album cover. Only after asking the clerk at the store did he realise that his old school friend was now the rock star Freddie Mercury. He still had the same old innocent Bulsara eyes.”
Noorie (fan) . A wonderful memory. Freddie was always so warm and of course, generous! His status changed, but never his heart, same old Farrokh!
“I change when I walk out on stage. I totally transform into this ‘Ultimate Showman.’ I say that because that’s what I must be. I can’t be second best. I know I have to strut. I know I have to hold the mic and stand a certain way. And I love it!”
The band Queen today released a song featuring the late frontman Freddie Mercury. It is the first new song in eight years from the band with the voice of Mercury, who died in 1991 from the effects of AIDS. The track is called Face It Alone.
This ‘gem’ was left on the shelf for years, until band members Roger Taylor and Brian May came across it again. They told BBC Radio 2 about the find this summer. The track dates from the period when the album The Miracle was recorded in 1989. “We found a gem of Freddie that we had kind of forgotten about,” said Taylor. “But it was beautiful, a real find.”
Queen last included three never-before-heard songs from Mercury on their 2014 album Queen Forever.
Live Aid. Sting, U2, Dire Straits, The Who, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Elton John, and George Michael were among the acts performing in London that day (Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Madonna and Tom Petty were at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia for the American counterpart). But of all the high-caliber artists on display that day, there was unanimous agreement that Queen’s Live Aid performance stole the whole show with a magnificent, 21-minute tour-de-force set.
