Browse piano sheets by Freddie Mercury on Zen Virtual Piano. Britannica says Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara on 5 September 1946 in Stone Town, Zanzibar, to Parsi parents who had emigrated from India; his father worked in Zanzibar as a clerk for the British government. As a child he was sent to a boarding school in Panchgani, India, where, artistically inclined from an early age, he formed a band in which he played the piano. He later studied graphic art and design at Ealing Technical College and School of Art, graduating in 1969. A boy who formed a band at boarding school and then studied design can be read as an artist whose music and visual training developed side by side. Bulsara befriended the guitarist Brian May and the drummer Roger Taylor, members of the band Smile, and in 1970, after Smile’s lead singer quit, he took over as its singer. He soon renamed the group Queen and himself Freddie Mercury. Britannica describes Queen as known for an elaborate blend of layered guitar work and vocal harmonies enlivened by the flamboyant performance of its front man and principal songwriter. A new name for the band and a new name for himself suggests a singer who was ready to remake how he was seen, with the stage persona becoming part of the music. Among the Queen hits Wikipedia credits to Mercury are Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions, Killer Queen, Somebody to Love, Don’t Stop Me Now and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. As he explained in a 1986 interview quoted by Wikipedia, “I hate doing the same thing again and again and again. I like to see what’s happening now in music, film and theatre and incorporate all of those things.” A remark about disliking the same thing again and again, set beside a list of hits running from Bohemian Rhapsody to Crazy Little Thing Called Love, can be read as a comment worth testing against the range of those titles. Britannica says Mercury released the solo record Mr. Bad Guy, which took musical inspiration from disco, and he later appeared on the soundtrack of Dave Clark’s musical Time (1986) and teamed with the Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé for the semi-operatic album Barcelona (1988). Love Me Like There’s No Tomorrow, released in 1985 as the fourth and final single from Mr. Bad Guy, was written by Mercury and produced by Reinhold Mack and Mercury, and reached No. 76 on the UK Singles Chart. Mercury was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Queen in 2001. A disco-flavoured solo album beside a semi-operatic collaboration suggests a singer who used solo work to follow his curiosity.
