he thought that if he was going to be in a band he had to change his name + he thought it sounded like a country or state also Mercury is the Ruling planet of his starsign - Virgo, and he was already known as Freddie. Mercury came from an early Queen song which featured a line he wrote of 'Mother Mercury' he was referring to his mother, and fancied keeping the name.

What are facts about Queen the rock band?

A lot. I love Queen, they're the best band ever. They started with the name "Smile", with Guittarist Brian May and Drummer Roger Taylor in 1968. Then Farrokh Bulsara (Known as Freddie Mercury) joined as frontman and coninced May and Taylor to change the name to Queen. Then, in 1971 or 1972 joined John Deacon. That was the start. There is a lot more, and if you want to know more, go to Wikipedia and search for Queen.


When did Freddie mercury find out that he had aids?

Freddie Mercury diagnosed with AIDS at Easter of 1987. And in pictures that was taken since 1989 they arent happy. Freddie Mercury died of bronhical pneumonia caused of pschihologic causes from AIDS in November 24, 1991 in his London Apartment ''Garden Lodge''. At time of death he was dressed with everything white because Zoroastrians were dieng this way. With this you will understand more about the death. From Hutton's book: I flew downstairs and found Phoebe. By the time we got back upstairs, Freddie had wet the bed. Dave Clark didn't seem to have noticed. Peter looked over at me and asked: 'Shall we change the bedclothes?' 'We'd better,' I answered. 'If we don't and he wakes up he'll go absolutely ape-shit.' I don't know why I said that; perhaps it was my subconscious trying to make out that things were less serious than they were. Peter started changing the bed while I took care of Freddie. As I was about to change Freddie into a clean T-shirt and pair of boxer shorts, I asked Dave to leave the room for a few moments. It was when I was getting his shorts on that I felt him try to raise his left leg to help a little. It was the last thing he did. I looked down at him, knowing he was dead. 'Phoebe,' I cried out. 'I'm sorry, he's gone."


Why is the song Bohemian Rhapsody so popular?

"What is Bohemian Rhapsody about, well I don't think we'll ever know and if I knew I probably wouldn't want to tell you anyway, because I certainly don't tell people what my songs are about. I find that it destroys them in a way because the great thing about about a great song is that you relate it to your own personal experiences in your own life. I think that Freddie was certainly battling with problems in his personal life, which he might have decided to put into the song himself. He was certainly looking at re-creating himself. But I don't think at that point in time it was the best thing to do so he actually decided to do it later. I think it's best to leave it with a question mark in the air." Brian May That was so wrong to find every song referring to Bohemian Rhapsody and merge all the questions together. You wiped out every answer, correction, category change not to mention the questions. I found the original answer and my answer to this question. I also split a lot of the questions away from this one. Your answer came from the same source I got my answer from. I could say yours is more simplistic and delete it, but that would be rude. Out of 51 questions you turned it into one, with a one paragraph answer. My answer was: Sorry, but that is definitely not the answer. Bohemian Rhapsody was released in 1975, long before Mercury knew he had AIDS. Freddie was flamboyant, an extrovert, and dramatic to say the least. But to say that he wrote this song because of the illness he died of 16 years later makes him a psychic as well as all of his other attributes. Queen states that Bohemian Rhapsody is about a young man who has accidental killed someone and, like Faust sold his soul to the devil. On the night before his execution, he calls for God in Arabic ("Bismillah" "Basmalah"), and with the help of angels, regains his soul from Shaitan. On the other hand, Kenny Everett (A radio and television personality), quoted Mercury as claiming the lyrics were "simple rhyming nonsense". Looks like Freddie took it to the grave!
