Re the passport: At least in the UK you can legally change your name and get a passport in that name. Done it myself.

Legends say he once sneezed and bit a hole in his chest.

The man was a musical genius. I wonder what he would have created if he hadn't died so young.
MakeTabbouleNotWar
Awe he would have to be a Virgo.
HaffaWaffle
Fuck Yes.

ALSO, HE LOVED CATS.

I was 10 when this legend died. I remember coming out of primary school and my dad picked me up which was unusual. He told me and I cried 1/
2/ all afternoon. I even had to hold back tears reading this. It still gets me.

Freddie was the real thing. Most singers today aren't fit to carry his shoes. The YouTube vids of him singing acapella give you shivers
RaynWisp
Most singers today don't own a paid of Freddie's shoes, so I think that's ok.

Nobody knows what "Bohemian Rhapsody" was about for sure, but many think it was about Freddie's bisexuality. Ppl point to killing (1)
The "straight" Freddie and beezlebub is in reference to religion. Also "Didn't mean to make you cry" due to mothers religious affiliation(2)
Prionalurus
Saw Queen here in Hong Kong last year. (Adam Lambert as lead) still awesome but Freddie being there would have made it amazing - Adam didn't
butt into Bohemium Rhapsody though, respected that
Notracistgrandpa
How was it with Adam?
KixStar
Wait. Was he not gay? I always thought he was gay.
inkpod
I'm pretty sure he was gay. But like many gay men in the 70s, he dated women. Elton John did the same thing.
BiPolyFreak
He liked both men and women. You can't limit a god.
GoodGameYoungLad
He was bi
VoidChi
I heard that he was afraid of getting dental work done because he was afraid that it would mess with the harmonics of his voice.

He really grew into his teeth

I like how it was his art degree, and not his artistic talent, that allowed him to create the Queen Crest. *eyeroll*
JustSomeGuyWithAComputer
My first Queen record was News Of The World when I was 6. The robot scared the shit out of me but I loved the music and wore out the record.

That is a really specific saying that I'd only ever heard my grandmother say, though she said one ate cabbage through a picket fence.

Mariah Carey claims to have a 5 octave range while Freddie only had 3-4? But she's awful..

That shows that it's not about what you have, it's about what you do with it.
Correction she HAD a 5 octave range

My 13 y/o son says 1 of the most disappointing things in his life is that he'll never be able to see Freddie Mercury & Queen perform live.
Given how old Freddie would be now he wouldn't see that anyway

In another life I was the subject of a tumblr witch hunt for saying he was bi. Apparently I was trying to take away an icon by (1/2)
Belittling his love of cock. Because to some bi isn't good enough I guess
UnicornofPeril
As a gay man, I'm just going to say that biphobia like this is just stupid. Ignore it.
DranksAndDragons
As a bi-woman, we get a lot of hate from both sides. Straight bigots see us as gay, gay bigots think we have it easy because we can "pass"
CallMeOldFashionedBut
As a bi-guy I get much the same experience. Happily married to a woman but a total queen after a couple of drinks. Straight guys call 1/2
me gay (mind you, I often just refer to myself gay because it's easier), while gay guys give me shit for 'not being gay enough'. 2/2
firelightcat
That sounds unpleasant. You've got double the love (potential) and receive double the hate.
sounds balanced!

I had to sneak Queen cassette tapes in my house, my parents did not approve. I love this band and they were such a great part of growing up

Dumbass parents. Sorry not sorry.

I'm very happy i was born in 86 with parents who, while religious, gave me all the freedom in music. My folks loved Queen.

my first memories are my mum cleaning the house every Saturday morning and cranking the stereo to that black Queen album. Still love it.

I nicked a Greatest Hits from my mom as a kid. She is the reason i found them!

I'm truly sorry. The first record I ever loved was a Queen record that I stole from my Dad. He was cool about it.
