Freddie Mercury[1] was a British singer, songwriter, record producer and lead vocalist of the rock band Queen. Regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. Mercury defied the conventions of a rock frontman, with his highly theatrical style influencing the artistic direction of Queen.
Mercury died in 1991 at age 45, officially due to complications from AIDS, but in reality from taking the "cure", an toxic medical cocktail with the chemotherapy drug AZT, which killed a generation of people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
Background
Born in 1946 in Zanzibar to Parsi-Indian parents, he attended English-style boarding schools in India from the age of eight and returned to Zanzibar after secondary school. In 1964, his family fled the Zanzibar Revolution, moving to Middlesex, England. Having studied and written music for years, he formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.
AZT
Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987. He had a Kaposi’s sarcoma lump on his shoulder. KS was back then an advanced symptom of Aids — before it was discovered to be a herpes virus connected to drug use.[2] While Mercury "didn’t indulge in cocaine use on a nightly basis, his partner Jim Hutton did remember him using the drug.[3]
There were no preceding sign that he’d been infected with HIV. No, says Hutton, nothing. “His attitude was ‘Life goes on’. He took AZT and nearly every other drug available. The doctors came to the house to treat him.”
Mercury was becoming more ill. “The doctors thought he shouldn’t do the Barcelona video. But his attitude was ‘I’m not going to let this thing beat me’. I noticed how skeletal he’d become only on the morning of his last birthday. Maybe I was in denial. But I think Freddie knew when it was the time to let go. He decided to come off his AIDS medication three weeks before he died.”[4].
