who achieved worldwide fame as the lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band <a href="/wiki/Queen_(band)" title="Queen (band)">Queen</a>. Regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-<a href="/wiki/Octave" title="Octave">octave</a> <a href="/wiki/Vocal_range" title="Vocal range">vocal range</a>. Mercury defied the conventions of a rock frontman with his theatrical style, influencing the artistic direction of Queen. Born in 1946 in <a href="/wiki/Sultanate_of_Zanzibar" title="Sultanate of Zanzibar">Zanzibar</a> to <a href="/wiki/Parsis" title="Parsis">Parsi-Indian</a> parents, Mercury attended English boarding schools in India from the age of eight and returned to Zanzibar after secondary school. In 1964, his family fled the <a href="/wiki/Zanzibar_Revolution" title="Zanzibar Revolution">Zanzibar Revolution</a>, moving to <a href="/wiki/Middlesex" title="Middlesex">Middlesex</a>, England. Having previously studied and written music, he formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist <a href="/wiki/Brian_May" title="Brian May">Brian May</a> and drummer <a href="/wiki/Roger_Taylor_(Queen_drummer)" title="Roger Taylor (Queen drummer)">Roger Taylor</a>. Mercury wrote numerous hits for Queen, including "<a href="/wiki/Killer_Queen" title="Killer Queen">Killer Queen</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody" title="Bohemian Rhapsody">Bohemian Rhapsody</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Somebody_to_Love_(Queen_song)" title="Somebody to Love (Queen song)">Somebody to Love</a>", "<a href="/wiki/We_Are_the_Champions" title="We Are the Champions">We Are the Champions</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Don%27t_Stop_Me_Now" title="Don't Stop Me Now">Don't Stop Me Now</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Crazy_Little_Thing_Called_Love" title="Crazy Little Thing Called Love">Crazy Little Thing Called Love</a>". His charismatic stage performances often saw him interact with the audience, as displayed at the 1985 <a href="/wiki/Live_Aid" title="Live Aid">Live Aid</a> concert. He also led a solo career and was a producer and guest musician for other artists. Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987. He continued to record with Queen, and was posthumously featured on their final album, <a href="/wiki/Made_in_Heaven" title="Made in Heaven">Made in Heaven</a> (1995). In 1991, the day after publicly announcing his diagnosis, <a href="/wiki/Death_of_Freddie_Mercury" title="Death of Freddie Mercury">he died</a> from complications of the disease at the age of 45.
