‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’ : A Tribute to Freddy Mercury

This is the fourth painting in my ‘Rock Gods’ Series which is a tribute to all the male musicians who, even in death, continue to this day to have an impact on me in some way or another either through their extreme artistic talents, lyrics, melodies, charisma, or just who they are / were.

Their music is also very nostalgic for me.

I first discovered Queen and the remarkable Freddy Mercury after my sister bought Queen’s Greatest Hits album. I played it constantly and was amazed by the harmonies that the four musicians created, especially in Bohemian Rhapsody.

However, it was when I heard and then saw the film clip of Crazy Little Thing Called Love with Freddy on a motorbike that truly captured my attention. This was a very different sound than all of the other songs, one that I absolutely loved.

It was also one of the 6 songs played at the iconic Live Aid Concert in 1985, so this painting of Freddy is named after that song.

Vale Freddy

May you Rest In Peace, but your music and influence live on forever.
