This Freddie Mercury has been mentioned by a media organization:

Jack Coyleap (October 29, 2018). "Review: 'Bohemian Rhapsody' won't rock you, but Malek will". NWITimes. Archived from the original on 2018-10-29. Retrieved 2018-10-29. Everything in Bohemian Rhapsody happens less with the thrust of life than the rapid-fire recounting of a biographical history, sometimes rigorously in step with Misplaced Pages, sometimes taking shortcuts to avoid anything that strays outside a neatly contrived narrative. {{cite news}}: |archive-date= / |archive-url= timestamp mismatch; 2018-10-30 suggested (help)

Needs Copyedit

This article doesn't deserve the rating it's received. The content is good but the grammar and language use need going over.

The article needs a copyedit tag. Surely this will upset all the Mercury fans but the best way to get through a crisis like that is to fix the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.251.103.76 (talk) 04:18, 23 March 2012‎

Misspelling of License under Death and Illness tab

The part explaining that Mercury couldn’t drive himself because he didn’t have a “licence” is misspelled as shown. 134.88.255.84 (talk) 21:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

That appears to be a British English spelling, and the article uses British English. Snowman304|talk 21:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Freddy's daughter

There is a rumour circulating that Freddy fathered a daughter, but upon checking the validity of this claim through online searches, it seems that it's either a very well kept secret or a falsehood... Does anyone have any thoughts or proof about his potential parentage despite his sexual orientation? Cltjames (talk) 20:47, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

If there were any reliable sources showing that he had a child, they would surely be in this article. ... discospinster _talk 23:09, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
