Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar on September 5, 1946, to Zoroastrian parents. He was a lovelorn trailblazer who overcame intense feelings of self-hatred (toward his heritage) and loneliness. Though he died in 1991, his legacy still lives through his lyrics, his live performances, and his voice.
