Freddie Mercury Quote 40Ī concert is not a live rendition of our album. I have fun with my clothes onstage it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear. We're a very expensive group we break a lot of rules. I'm hopeless with money I simply spend what I've got. We've gone overboard on every Queen album. We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise. It 's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime. I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We have no such thing as a budget anymore. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew. In the early days, we just wore black onstage. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don't even believe in astrology. I'm as gay as a daffodil, my dear!

Freddie Mercury Quote 25 But it’s regal, obviously, and sounds splendid. Even if it’s just an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile. I love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form. Freddie Mercury Quote 21Ī concert is not a live rendition of our album. Glamour is part of us, and we want to be dandy. The concept of Queen is to be regal and majestic. It’s very sort of flamboyant, and that’s the kind of way I write.
Freddie Mercury Quote 19Ī lot of my songs are fantasy. We said either take it on as a serious commodity or don’t do it at all. When we began, we approached it the way we did because we were not prepared to be out-of-work musicians, ever. The whole point of Queen was to be original. I'm very emotional. I think I may go mad in several years time. When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance. The reason we’re successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course. I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics. I like to be surrounded by splendid things Freddie Mercury Quote 11ĭullness is a disease. What will I be doing in 20 years time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy? Freddie Mercury Quote 10 Who wants to live forever? Freddie Mercury Quote 9 As long as it’s fabulous I don’t care how long it is. The most important thing is to live a fabulous life.

The Parsee faith believes in three tenets: good thoughts, good words and good deeds – teachings she and Bomi instilled in Freddie from a young age. She was devout in her religion, and was a practicing Parsee – a faith that arrived in India from Persia in the 7th century and follows the prophet Zoroaster.

Born in India in 1922, Jer and her husband Bomi fled with their two children Farrokh and Kashmira to Middelesex during the ‘64 Zanzibar Revolution.Īfter the move, Freddie went on to become one of the best loved artists in music history, selling approximately 300 million records as the frontman of Queen and performing iconic concerts such as 1985’s Live Aid.
