| Google Doodle Animation to Celebrate Freddie Mercury's 65th Birthday |
Today’s Google doodle celebrates the birthday of Queen’s legendary singer Freddie Mercury, and it’s definitely one of the most interesting doodles to come out of Google’s workshop yet. Note that the doodle will become visible on September 6 in the U.S. out of respect for Labor Day.
One of the best vocalists ever in rock music, Freddie Mercury was born on September 5 1946, and he died in on November 24 1991. He was known for his flamboyant presence on stage, amazing four-octave vocal range, and an unforgettable series of hits which ranged from hard rock to power ballads to neo-classical pieces.
Today’s doodle is also accompanied by a blog post from Google, which was written by none other than Queen’s guitarist Brian May.
“Some people imagine Freddie as the fiery, difficult diva who required everyone around him to compromise. No. In our world, as four artists attempting to paint on the same canvas, Freddie was always the one who could find the compromise—the way to pull it through. If he found himself at odds with any one of us, he would quickly dispel the cloud with a generous gesture, a wisecrack or an impromptu present”, writes Brian in one passage.
