  • Asteroid Named After Queen's Freddie Murcury For Singer's 70th Birthday

    Freddie Mercury's legacy as one of the rock n' roll greats has been cemented on this earth, but just as the singer looked into the heavens above, his spirit will now live there as well. An asteroid is now being named after the late Queen singer in honor of his 70th birthday today, Sept. 5.

  • Michael Jackson and John Lennon Among the Best Male Singers of All Time

    Singers and musicians are always attached to each other, but, it often turns out that the singers will have a make or break position in the band.

  • Rare Freddie Mercury Vocals Appear on Charity Single for World AIDS Day [LISTEN]

    Vocal tracks recorded during Queen frontman Freddie Mercury's 'Barcelona' sessions have become the hub of a rousing new track produced by Irish composer Stuart Leathem, "Little Freddie Goes to School." Having passed away from AIDS in 1991, the late, regal frontman's vocals were the right choice to be featured on the charity single for World AIDS day, which occurred on December 1.

  • Ben Whishaw To Play Freddie Mercury in Movie About Queen Frontman?

    The latest biopic trend in Hollywood has yet to cease, spanning the stories of iconic musicians from Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix. A Freddie Mercury focused movie has been floating around since 2010 when Sacha Baron Cohen was slated to tackle the role of the extravagant Queen frontman. He dropped out of the position in 2013 along with the original director, leaving the fate of the film in limbo. On Wednesday, GK films revealed that they found a new screenwriter to jumpstart the film once more, keeping an eye on Ben Whishaw to portray the iconic singer.

  • David Bowie's 6 Epic Duets with Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger and More

    Thirty years ago today, the world was in rapture over Live Aid and the dozens of musicians who were finding ways to help the cause. Two of those musicians were David Bowie and Mick Jagger, who paired up for the iconic song (and video) for "Dancing In The Street," with the proceeds from sales going to Bob Geldof's Live Aid. The song, a cover of the classic hit from Martha and The Vandellas, was as raucous as any, but ultimately became better known for the comical video of its stars literally dancing in the streets. Bowie was among the most iconic performers in music's most iconic generation...and he's shared the stage with more iconic performers than just about anyone. Here are five other original songs that Bowie wrote and performed with legendary acts.

  • 5 Bad Vocalist Solo Debuts, from David Lee Roth to Nearly All of The Beatles

    On this date 30 years ago, Freddie Mercury of Queen released his first solo album, Mr. Bad Guy...and it failed drastically, at least from a commercial standpoint. It seems odd now—when a solo album from Brandon Flowers or other vocalists attached to a big-name band can release an album by themselves and land in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 without breaking a sweat—that one of the liveliest frontmen in rock history couldn't get into the Top 150 of the album sales charts with his first solo release. That said (and despite the cheesy image of Mercury in shades on the album cover), Mr. Bad Guy ain't a bad record. That can't be said about the solo debuts of these other famous vocalists, from The Beatles' members to David Lee Roth.

  • Freddie Mercury Movie: Sacha Baron Cohen WON'T Be Playing Queen Frontman, According to Brian May

    Queen guitarist Brian May revealed Sunday night to crestfallen film fans that Sacha Baron Cohen would not be playing frontman Freddie Mercury in a biopic after all, despite earlier reports that he had returned to the project. Multiple media outlets, including Music Times, were thrown for a loop when the band's manager, Jim Beach, reportedly reported the news. The longtime band member clarified that Beach's quote at the Artist & Management Awards in London was that Cohen would play "all four major roles," obviously a bit of jest that the original reporting outlet either failed to understand or ignored.
