Mercury was born with four extra teeth in the back of his mouth, causing his now-famous bucktooth grin.

Mercury never got his teeth fixed because he was afraid it would ruin his impressive four-octave vocal range.

In addition to his talents as a singer and songwriter, Mercury was a skilled showman.

He knew how to entertain audiences and how to connect with them. He liked to wear costumes — often featuring skintight spandex — and strutted around the stage, encouraging fans to join in the fun. Artistic in nature, Mercury was also actively involved in designing the art for many of the group’s albums.

Freddie called himself a Musical Prostitute, we call him a Live Legend.
