Freddie Mercury Tribute

I have been a fan of Google's way of celebrating famous people with their quirky comic or even Java-based animation. Today is Freddie Mercury's 65th birthday, the vocalist of Queen. The rock bands vocalist is known for his flamboyant persona and his powerful vocals over a four-octave range. Mercury wrote 10 of the 17 songs on Queen's Greatest Hits album: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Seven Seas of Rhye", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to Love", "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy", "We Are the Champions", "Bicycle Race", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Play the Game".

Mercury claimed he was "openly gay", and hid his HIV status for several years. He was diagnosed with AIDS shortly after Easter of 1987. He died with the final diagnosis of bronchial pneumonia.
