Talent + attitude.

Freddie...

"I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.

When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.

I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics."

😁

Roger Daltrey commented in Jim O’Donnell’s 2013 Queen Tribute book, Freddie was “the best virtuoso rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time. He could sing anything in any style. He could change his style from line to line and, God, that’s an art. And he was brilliant at it.
