[F] Freddie Mercury, le chanteur-pianiste du groupe britannique Queen décédé des suites du SIDA le 24 novembre 1991, est représenté ici dans une de ses fameuses attitudes scéniques, poing droit levé.
Tout au long de ses vingt années de carrière, Mercury a multiplié les tenues vestimentaires extravagantes sur scène. Celle qu'il arbore ici est celle qu'il portait lors des 26 dates de la tournée "The Magic Tour" qui conduira le groupe Queen à se produire dans 21 villes européennes et qui seront les dernières prestations en concert du chanteur.
L'artiste peintre a commis une petite erreur concernant la longueur de la perche du micro du chanteur car après un des premiers concerts de Queen en 1971 au cours duquel son pied de micro s'était dévissé, Freddie n'utilisait qu'une demi-perche micro comme accessoire de scène.

[E] Freddie Mercury, singer-pianist of the British group Queen died from AIDS November 24, 1991, is represented here in one of his famous scenic attitudes, lifted right fist.
Throughout her 20-year career, Mercury has been making extravagant dresses on stage. The one he wears here is the one he wore during the 26 dates of the tour "The Magic Tour" which will lead the Queen group to perform in 21 European cities and which will be the last live performances of the singer.
The painter made a small mistake about the length of the rod of the singer's microphone because since after one of Queen's first concerts in 1971 when his mic stand was unscrewed, Freddie only used a half rod microphone as a stage accessory.
