Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara on previously British-owned, but now Tanzania-owned, island Zanzibar. Mercury first learned to play the piano at St. Peter's boarding school in India. In 1964, at age 17, the Zanzibar Revolution forced he and his family to England, where he earned a Diploma in Art and Graphic Design at Ealing Art College. He later used his talents to design his band's famous Queen crest.
Singer, songwriter, pianist and vocalist Freddie Mercury was the famed frontman of the British group Queen- famous for the songs "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," and "We Are the Champions."
