Happy Birthday Freddie! The Google doodle tribute

Freddie Mercury would have been 65 today. Google have paid tribute to the lead vocalist of the legendary rock band Queen with a specially commissioned musical doodle.

Millions of people will today remember the rock star for his eccentric live performances and musical genius.

Sadly, his work and life was cut short in 1991 when he died after a lengthy battle with HIV.

To mark his 65th birthday, the Google doodlers have been on the case to make something special and came up with this animation.
