Queen came to popularity during the mid-1970s and amazed an enormous worldwide fanbase that continues to exist to this day. Queen's live performances were truly ground-breaking, employing massive lighting and other special effects to make their shows into engaging theatrical events. Mercury immersed himself in the crowd's adulation and thrived off their excitement.
Unfortunately, on November 24, 1991,Freddie Mercury passed away, due to the complications from AIDS.
