On September 5, 1946, Farrukh Bulsara was born on the island of Zanzibar, who became known to the whole world under the name of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the British rock band Queen. The songs of the group have long been considered classics of rock, and the group has become a legend in world music. In memory of Freddie Mercury, let us recall the most iconic clips of Queen.

Bohemian rhapsody

The video for the song Bohemian Rhapsody revolutionized the music world, was named the best video of all time and became one of the most recognizable. It was after him that the practice of releasing video clips became generally accepted. The composition itself, written in 1975, was called the song of the millennium by critics for its innovation and uniqueness, because opera and rock met in it.

we will Rock You

This song (like many of the British quartet's works), released in 1977, made it to the list of the best songs of all time. She has become truly iconic. The name of the composition later became the name of the musical based on the work of the Queen group.

We Are the Champions

The song is considered their anthem by sports fans.

The creation of the collective We Are the Champions was released as a single on one disc along with the song We Will Rock You - and both compositions were expected to be a huge success. Today this song is considered their anthem by sports fans - and absolutely any kind of sport.

I want to break free

The video for this song, released in 1983, became truly provocative. Parodying the British TV series Coronation Street, the band members dressed in women's outfits. As a result, the song became the anthem of rebels and revolutionaries.

Radio ga ga

Some critics called this 1984 song nonsense, while others considered it topical, reflecting the situation in the then British radio broadcasting. Disagreements did not prevent Radio Ga Ga from taking the top lines of the charts in 19 countries of the world and becoming a megahit.

A kind of magic

A very unusual video was shot for the song A Kind of Magic in 1986. In the frame, the musicians were accompanied by cartoon characters, and also surrounded by drawn special effects. The animation for the video was created by Disney.

Who Wants to Live Forever

The video for the 1986 ballad Who Wants to Live Forever became truly ambitious: many burning candles, a huge symphony orchestra, a choir. The song was included in the soundtrack of the cult film about the immortal warrior - "Highlander".

The Show Must Go On

A truly epic composition was included in the hundred best songs of the 20th century.

A truly epic composition was included in the hundred best songs of the 20th century and became like the last message of Freddie Mercury to the world (the song was released a month before his death). He passed away in 1991, but in the memory of his loyal fans, the show will always go on. Due to poor health, Mercury himself was unable to appear in the video, so the clip is a cut from the spectacular moments of the video, interviews and live performances of the group.
