The musical achievements of Freddie Mercury – one of the best-known and biggest-selling bands that this country has produced – are inextricably linked to those of Queen. It was as Queen’s frontman that Mercury wrote and performed his greatest compositions, at the same time honing an infectious, outrageous stage persona that reached its pinnacle in the mid-1980s – most famously at Wembley Stadium’s 1985 Live Aid concert, which was broadcast globally to an estimated 1.5 billion people across 150 countries.
