Overview
Freddie Mercury has been remembered in the Google doodle on what would have been the late singer's 65th birthday today (September 5).
The doodle, which you can see on the Google homepage, features Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now'.
It depicts Mercury in a number of his guises, including when he dressed as a woman and danced with a hoover for 'I Want To Break Free'.
Doodle designer Ryan Germick said: “[The video] has a lot of fun, goofy stuff to celebrate what an incredible song writer, fashion icon, and musical innovator he was.”
Mercury died of bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS on November 24 in 1991 - just one day after publicly acknowledging he had the disease.
