When you think of true Rock Royalty, there’s one name that comes to mind: Freddie Mercury - the man, the myth, the mustache. As the flamboyant frontman of Queen, he was a shooting star leaping through the sky, defying the laws of gravity and having a ball. But tragically, he would burn out far too soon. 

In this special 2 part episode, we’ll be exploring the real life of a Musical Champion and the terrible circumstances that led to his death on a quiet Sunday afternoon in 1991. If you're looking for a feel-good fantasy, go watch the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody.” This podcast may not be your bag. For the rest of you, grab your crown, raise your mic stand and get ready for a Killer time. 

In this first chapter, we cover Freddie's rise to the top of the Pops as the King of Queen. The band's worldwide success brought him fame and fortune and everything that goes with it. And by the end of the 1970s, his life revolved around sex, drugs and rock n roll. But unfortunately, there would be a heavy price.
