Freddie Mercury (real name  Frederick Farookh Bulsara), lead singer of the legendary rock band Queen, died of AIDS at only 45 years of age on November 24th, 1991. How tragic! It was alleged that Freddie Mercury had homosexual lovers all around the world.
Mercury lost its way so long ago that being shuttered at some point was a foregone conclusion. The only question was when. And now we have the answer. But that doesn't answer why Ford chose June 2, 2010 as the day to announce the death of Mercury.
