freddie mercury (montreaux)



The Freddie Mercury statue in Montreaux, Switzerland, by Czech artist Irena Sedlecka. This ~3 meters high work of art is overlooking lake Geneva since November 1996.

David Bowie "Of all the more theatrical rock performers, Freddie took it further than the rest". – "He took it over the edge. And of course, I always admired a man who wears tights. I only saw him in concert once, and as they say, he was definitely a man who could hold an audience in the palm of his hand. He could always turn a cliché to his advantage."
