Freddie's Biography

---------------Biography--------Section 4 of 9

Their first success came in 1974, with ‘ Seven Seas of Rye' and from then on Queen never looked back. The album ‘Sheer Heart Attack' and the single from it ‘Killer Queen' were huge hits. Next came the phenomenon of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody'. Bohemian Rhapsody was so long (6 minutes long) that EMI thought no radio station would play it - the band refused to cut the song. Kenny Everett played the song on air and it created so much demand that EMI were forced to release it.
Freddie said the meaning of the song was personal and would comment no further on its strange lyrics. Freddies favourite pose was standing at the front of the stage, arms akimbo, his legs spread, and his head cocked to one side. He would prance about as though dancing his own ballet. He was a charasmatic man and as he sang his way though happiness, love, pain, depression, so his audience would be pulled along with him on his emotional rollercoaster.
