The legendary Freddie Mercury died on this day 30 years ago.
Just one day after he publicly announced he was HIV positive, he died in his home in London's Holland park at age 45 of complications from AIDS.
Mercury was known as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music, for his powerful vocal range and live performances, and also as the composer of many of Queen's biggest hits.
For today’s #CoffeeBreak, let’s celebrate Freddie’s iconic voice with the music of Queen.
