Mercury who died in 1991 would have turned 65 on September 5 and Google marked the occasion with a special blog.
Writing on the blog, May said: 'Freddie would have been 65 this year, and even though physically he is not here, his presence seems more potent than ever.
'Freddie made the last person at the back of the furthest stand in a stadium feel that he was connected. He lived life to the full. He devoured life. He celebrated every minute.
'And, like a great comet, he left a luminous trail which will sparkle for many a generation to come. Happy birthday Freddie!'
