70 years ago today in Stone Town, Zanzibar, my favorite person was born.
Farrokh Bulsara, a boy that would grow up to be a legend. A man with the most powerful and extraordinary voice. The beautiful and captivating human being that we know as Freddie Mercury.
He is my inspiration and my role model. He gave me a new life. If there’s one thing that never fails to cheer me up, it’s him. He has changed my life in such a beautiful way.
Most people know Freddie for his masterpiece, Bohemian Rhapsody, but he contributed much more to the world than that.
He was a genius when it came to songwriting but he was also an extremely charismatic frontman and he put on a show with the way that he would strut around the stage in a theatrical form. He’s known to be one of the greatest frontmen of all time.
He was an amazing pianist, which he didn’t believe, I’ll never understand why. He could also paint and draw, his work is incredible. He was fucking fabulous. He’s still fucking fabulous. I mean, look at the stuff that he wore! Fab.
He did things that no one has ever done, things that can’t and won’t be done again. Like bringing opera and ballet to rock and roll.
He rode on the shoulders of Darth Vader, Santa and Superman multiple times. Who else has done that?
He even performed with The Royal Ballet.
Freddie was incredibly strong. He continued to make music until he literally couldn’t anymore. He was in the studio when he could barely stand. That’s how dedicated he was to his music and to his fans. He didn’t want to leave this earth without giving everything that he could. I admire the strength that he had.
His life was cut short but it’s not like he didn’t live it to the full. He always said that all he wanted in life was to be happy and have a good time and from what I’ve seen and heard, that’s exactly what he did and he didn’t give a shit about what people thought of him.
It’s weird because it doesn’t always feel like he’s gone. He was filled with so much energy and had such a powerful presence, I guess that’s what makes me feel like he’s still around. He’s forever alive in our hearts.
The world will never see another Freddie Mercury. I mean, they’re doing scientific studies on his voice to figure out why it was so amazing. He truly was a gift to this world. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him.
It’s sad that the world has been deprived of the work that he still had inside of him but I’m grateful for the amazing things that we do have from him and the fact that he was ever here at all.
So I wrote this excessively long message because Freddie should be celebrated today and everyday.
We’ll celebrate you forever.
Happy Birthday, Freddie ❤️
