FREDDIE MERCURY: BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY: A Freddie Mercury Biography
â€œDonâ€™t Stop Me Now,â€ released in 1979, is one of Queenâ€™s biggest hits - a well-loved upbeat rock classic of defiant lyrics and a feel-good tune that has since become an anthem for blustering confidence, swagger and hedonism.Among its choicest lyrics â€“ â€œIâ€™m a shooting star leaping through the sky.â€
It is an iconic song penned by Queenâ€™s iconic frontman Freddie Mercury, an artist who defied the odds and became a superstar. For how many people can claim all that he had somehow accomplished in his too-short life: He was a person of foreign descent, the son of India-born Parsis, and hailing from the British protectorate of Zanzibar. Their family fled amid political upheaval and settled in London at a time of racial wariness against immigrants.
He was a man of complex sexuality, enmeshed in both passionate, committed romances but also dalliances; with females but also with males, at a time of homophobia.
He was either by professional necessity or core nature, a private person even amongst his closest family and friends, but also lived a very public, exuberant life.
He was HIV-positive and dying of AIDS while a thriving, working artist - at a time of fear, misunderstanding and brutal stigma against the disease and its sufferers.
He died young, only at the age of 45â€¦ yet continues to be relevant. His music lives on, widely used on television, film, and the soundtracks of the everyday lives of people. His image has become iconic, his personality, larger-than-life; legendary.
This is the life of unstoppable, immortal Freddie Mercury, â€œMister Fahrenheit,â€ the star that shot across the sky who â€˜turned the world inside outâ€™ and â€˜defied the laws of gravity-â€™ all while â€˜having a good time.â€™
