 * 1970*

Freddie Mercury was 24 when he joined Smile (Queen) at *1970*. After Tim Stafell left the band, he renamed the band to Queen. It was the only 3 of them until John Deacon showed up in *1971*. After several bass performances, John Deacon joined Queen. The band was complete. I have nothing to say for *1972*.


 * 1973*

After 1 or 2 years, Brian May (guitarist) made their first song named “Keep Yourself Alive*. Many people may have thought “Liar” was their first song written by Freddie Mercury (former lead vocalist). In other concerts, they played them and people got interested with the songs. I have nothing to say about *1974*.


 * 1975*

Freddie Mercury finally made a song called “Bohemian Rhapsody” (music). It is the most popular and loved song from Queen. The song is about 6 minutes long. It includes Opera, Rock, and others. This 2018, some countries have “Bohemian Rhapsody” (movie) showing in cinemas. Also 1975 was when Freddie Mercury got nodules. I have nothing to say about *1976*.


 * 1977*

Queen was getting popular at that time because they kept on holding concerts and creating good music. Many people enjoyed it and even when Freddie has nodules, his voice was still powerful! His voice sounded like autotune but autotune didn’t exist that time! I have nothing to say about *1978*.


 * 1979*

Freddie Mercury’s voice and body style was changing. His hair was short, voice changes, and everyone’s hair changed in the band too! But except for Brian May (who never changes). When they held a concert, Freddie has like a hat thing to cover his head and eyes.

 * 1980*

Freddie Mercury started to grow his 1st mustache at April 1980. His voice is now deep, and his hair is now very short. Everyone’s hair in the band changed except Brian May. Freddie Mercury grew the mustache because he wanted to cover his teeth. His teeth was not fix because he thought it would affect his voice. He still really hit high notes but *1977 - 1982* was the best time with his voice. He even had no concert at 1980. Freddie Mercury and the band became even more popular that time.


 * 1981*

Freddie Mercury finally held a concert at the 80s. Such as Caracas 1981, Montreal 1981, Saò Paulo 191, etc. He was full of energy and wasn’t sick! He kept on holding concerts. His most popular concert was Montreal 1981. His voice was so energetic and had no voice cracks! He was a legend.


 * 1982*

Freddie started getting HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). He was sick at Tokorozawa 1982 and he started getting many voice cracks. Also, he sang with David Bowie on Under Pressure! Sadly, Ice Ice Baby copied the bass line. I have nothing to say about *1983*.


 * 1984*

Freddie Mercury and the band held concerts, but most of them were play backing tracks because it was needed that time. Queen absolutely hated it. Such as Radio GaGa 1984, etc. His hair was shorter that time and he shaved his mustache on April 1984 for “I Want To Break Free” ballerina scene. He grew his 2nd mustache few days/weeks/months later.


 * 1985*

Finally! Queen held the most popular performance in their history! The performance was at Live Aid, Wembley Stadium 6:41 PM and 9:40 PM with Brian May. Sadly, Freddie Mercury has Kasopi Sacroma under his right arm which can be seen at Radio GaGa. The songs includes Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio GaGa, Vocal Improv, Hammer To Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You, and We Are The Champions. The performance with Brian May was Is This The World We Created? Queen also had an amazing rehearsal. The band had nothing to do but Live Aid asked them if they wanted to perform. So, the band accepted it. It was an amazing performance.


 * 1986*

HIV started getting more to him. His voice was struggling at 1986. His most popular performance that time was a Wembley 2nd night 1986. He had a few voice cracks. They got his famous pose at Wembley Stadium 1st night 1986 at “Tie Your Mother Down”! Many people loved his yellow jacket. Sadly, his last live performance that was recorded was Knebworth August 9, 1986. Due to voice cracks and he knew that he had HIV. He had no performance beyond that except for *1988*.


 * 1987*

Freddie Mercury shaved his 2nd mustache on January/February 1987 for the “The Great Pretender”. He also had a duet with Montserrat Caballè! The most popular song with her was “Barcelona”. Sadly, Montserrat passed away few weeks ago. R.I.P. Montserrat loved Freddie so much! Montserrat was an Operatic singer. He was also diagnosed with AIDS.


 * 1988*

Freddie Mercury had his TRUE last live performance. His last live performance with Queen was at the Dominion Theatre. Sadly, Freddie doesn’t want anyone to record it because of how sick he is. His last live performance with Montserrat was at La Nit. He had no more concerts above the years. Freddie’s voice was starting to get weak.


 * 1989*

Freddie Mercury grew a beard for a few months only. He grew a beard to cover the Kasopi Sacroma on his face. They made an album called “The Miracle”. One of their famous songs that time were The Miracle, I Want It All, Breakthru, etc.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————                                                                       THE 90s


 * 1990*

Freddie Mercury has no more beard. He looks younger. His last public apperance was on British Awards on *1990*. Freddie Mercury became a little smaller. Not sure if he wrote any songs there.


 * 1991*

The year that Freddie died. His last song was “Mother Love”. Freddie didn’t get to finished it because he was too sick. Brian May finished the last verse. The song was released on *1995*. Freddie Mercury had amazing vocals on “The Show Most Go On” and the Innuendo album! He kept on writing songs until he died because of pneumonia resulting to AIDS. “The Show Must Go On” song is especially powerful because Freddie was dying at this point, he was suffering from AIDS for 4 years prior and his body was still deteriorating, and died, I believe, less than a year after recording this, but he still put his all into the performance, even though he could barely stand the day of recording it, he was warned by Brian May that it might be too hard of a vocal track, but Freddie downed a shot of vodka and sang with all his might in one take what you hear in the song, he destroyed his vocal chords but he didnt care, he just wanted to make sure the show goes on and he really put all of his effort into it, he is easily one of the bravest people ever, he didn't give a shit that he was dying, he was still pushing his body to the limit up until he was bed ridden. A really touching and emotional song is the last song he ever recorded, Mother Love, that is the last time he recorded his voice, but halfway through, he was getting tired, so he said he'll continue the track in a few days, but he never came back. He died before he could finish the song, so in the song, after the guitar solo, the lead vocals change, and it's Brian May, their guitarist, because Freddie had died at the point and the rest of Queen wanted to finish the song, even though they waited 4 years after Freddie's death to record it because of how traumatic his death was to them, he was their best-friend and band mate for over 20 years, and then he's just gone, which really took a toll on them emotionally amd mentally. But after a few years, they built up the will power to finish recording the song and it sends shivers down my spine every time i hear it because of the back story, and towards the end of the song, you hear a ghostly "Mother love, Mother love" echo away, and its Freddie's voice, and its so chilling because he's dead at that point. And the end of the song, I believe, is a very small section of every Queen song from the end of their career to the beginning, and at the very end, it fades into the first song Freddie ever recorded. It's crazy, the last song he ever sang on, ends with the first song he ever sang on.

Thank you all for reading this.
