Robert Plant, best known as the legendary lead singer of Led Zeppelin, made a rare and humorous appearance in the British comedy Doreen: The Movie (2016), a film based on the popular Midlands character Doreen Tipton.

At this point of time, maybe we could come to think we know everything about Freddie Mercury’s life. The singer became legend on November 24, 1991, when he left this plan to become myth. However, with the “revival” of his music and his life in 2018, after his biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody”, new data comes to light. One of them, for example, were the last photographs her boyfriend, Jim Hutton, took of her at her London mansion a few months before she died. In 2019, “Queen” records were once again among the most-played on streaming platforms and videos of Freddie Mercury’s performances were once again racking up hundreds of views. To say Freddie Mercury was born for music would be an understatement. Even the shape of her oral cavity was perfect for singing, as if her artistic destiny had been marked from the moment she was born in her own body. This led to him being methodical to his tunes. One of the recently revealed secrets about his passion for art has to do with one of his noblest instruments: the piano. The pianist And it is that, apparently, the singer possessed a piano on the headboard of his bed. The reason for this apparent lunacy had, of course, an explanation. If in the middle of the dawn a melody came to his mind, I could immediately play it, make it a reality and write it down. The piano, as well seen throughout her long career, was practically an extension of Queen’s vocalist herself. So much so that that anecdote of the header is reflected in one of the scenes from “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Freddie Mercury’s history with this musical instrument goes back to the time when the artist studied at St. Peter’s Boys School in India. There he attended classes and perfected his technique until he was 9. After this step the union between man and machine was inseparable. Their own bandmates, Roger Taylor and Brian May, would admire in public the bandleader’s ability and ease to play his tunes on the piano. Apparently, all this data that has been coming to light, that only a few privileged knew about the singer, gave rise to rumors about a sequel to the biopic. I would retake the story of Freddie Mercury, after the famous show at “Live Aid” at Wembley, where the 2018 film ends. Apparently Brian May and Roger Taylor wouldn’t be too convinced with this second half, but the truth is that they don’t rule out the possibility either. In his words, if the approach is right, maybe the story to tell is good.

Freddie Mercury: The Man, the Myth, and the Music That Won’t Fade At this point in time, it might feel as though we’ve uncovered every secret about Freddie Mercury’s extraordinary life. Since his death on November 24, 1991, the Queen frontman has transcended the realm of celebrity to become a true legend—his voice, style, and […]
