Freddie's Biography

-------------------Biography-------Section 5 of 9

Freddie was famous for his showmanship and posing - Queen was one of the highlights of the biggest concert ever - The Live Aid Concert in 1985 aimed at raising money for famine relief. After the show Bob Geldof, the concerts organiser described Queen as the biggest band on the planet. The event had been the perfect stage for Freddie, who was able to pose in front of the whole world. In 1980 Freddie changed his image. He realised he was homosexual and decided to adopt a ‘gay' look.
He cut his long hair, grew a moustache and stopped painting his fingernails. The fans loved his new look so much the bands office was flooded with gifts of razor blades. After the first gig they did in Vancouver Canada, the audience bombarded the stage with disposable razors. Off stage Freddies life was as over the top as his performances on stage. His partying was legendary - Freddies parties were known as the most extravagant ever. It was standard for him to splash out 50,000 pounds on drinks and entertainments. One party cost 200,000 pounds.
