The legendary Freddie Mercury would have turned 78 today.

Here are some of his best moments that have gone down in history 🧵

1. Freddie Mercury doing a vocal warmup at Live Aid with 70k people in his hands.

2. Freddie Mercury walking before the start of the legendary Wembley show in London, July 1986.

You know a band kicks ass when the live version sounds better than the album version.

An incredible show that proves that some performances are timeless masterpieces.

Freddie was one of a kind. We lost a legend who still had a lot to give. It is heartbreaking.

I end the thread with this beautiful edit I found a few weeks ago.

I hope you enjoyed it, which is what Freddie would have wanted 👑❤️
