Who Wants to Live Forever

One of the greatest icons of pop culture was Freddie Mercury. As co-founder of "Queen," he thrilled the masses. But even in the biggest pose suitable for a stadium, he revealed an artist whose hunger for life struck an existential nerve. His art showed a person's struggle for intoxication and fulfillment in the knowledge of the abysses, of fall and transience. Mercury never shied away from asking the big questions about life and death.
