Instruments: Vocal
Mercury knew he was ill with HIV and thus doomed sooner or later from 1987 onward. In 1990-1991, he recorded his last takes with Queen, including his final composition, A Winter's Tale, which evokes the Montreux region where he then spent much of his time. Visibly ill and weakened for several months, Freddie Mercury died from the effects of pneumonia on November 24, 1991, after having declared, the day before, that he was HIV-positive.
