Freddie Mercury was a true legend of the music world, and one of my favourite artists of all time. I was devastated by his death and still mourn all the wonderful music he would have written and performed if he hadn’t been taken from us so prematurely.
Not only was he an excellent rock singer, I also feel that he was quite possibly the best performer the world has ever seen. His crowd interaction and engagement levels were off the charts, and his performances have not aged over time, although perhaps the same can’t be said for some of his costumes. In this video, he sang a duet with the famous opera singer Montserrat Caballé.
So good was their friendship and partnership they actually recorded the theme song for the Barcelona Summer Olympics in 1992. Watch this performance and marvel once again at the master showman, Mr Freddie Mercury.
