Biography: Freddie Mercury.
Freddie Mercury
Freddie Mercury was born Farokh Bulsara on Zanzibar Island, now part of Tanzania when it was a British protectorate. His parents were parsis from India and together with his extended family, supporters of the Zoroastrian religion. Mercury spent much of his childhood in India and began learning how to play the piano at the age of seven. When he was eight years old, he was sent to a British boarding school near Bombay (now Mumbai). When he was twelve years old, Freddie formed his first band, The Hectics. They covered rock and roll songs by artists like Cliff, Richard and Chuck Berry. After the 1964 Zanzibar Revolution, killing many ethnic Arabs and Indians, Freddie's family fled to England. That's where he entered art school and started pursuing his musical interests seriously.
