His range was 3 octaves, with an additional 11 semitones (1 semitone away from another octave) in falsetto.
His lowest recorded note is the F (F2) above bass low C (C2), or the second-lowest F on the piano. He is heard hitting this note in the songs "Don't Try Suicide", "All Dead, All Dead", "Somebody to Love" and "Bohemian Rhapsody".
His highest recorded note in full voice was the F (F5) above tenor high C (C5), or the third-highest F on the piano. He is heard hitting this note in full voice in the song "All God's People".
His highest recorded note overall is the E (E6) above the soprano high C (C6), or the second-highest E on the piano. He is heard hitting this note in the song "It's Late".
Thus his full voice range was 3 octaves (F2-F5), and his total range was one semitone away from four octaves (F2-E6).
Why is the song Bohemian Rhapsody so popular?
"What is Bohemian Rhapsody about, well I don't think we'll ever know and if I knew I probably wouldn't want to tell you anyway, because I certainly don't tell people what my songs are about. I find that it destroys them in a way because the great thing about about a great song is that you relate it to your own personal experiences in your own life. I think that Freddie was certainly battling with problems in his personal life, which he might have decided to put into the song himself. He was certainly looking at re-creating himself. But I don't think at that point in time it was the best thing to do so he actually decided to do it later. I think it's best to leave it with a question mark in the air." Brian May
That was so wrong to find every song referring to Bohemian Rhapsody and merge all the questions together. You wiped out every answer, correction, category change not to mention the questions. I found the original answer and my answer to this question. I also split a lot of the questions away from this one. Your answer came from the same source I got my answer from. I could say yours is more simplistic and delete it, but that would be rude. Out of 51 questions you turned it into one, with a one paragraph answer.
My answer was:
Sorry, but that is definitely not the answer. Bohemian Rhapsody was released in 1975, long before Mercury knew he had AIDS. Freddie was flamboyant, an extrovert, and dramatic to say the least. But to say that he wrote this song because of the illness he died of 16 years later makes him a psychic as well as all of his other attributes. Queen states that Bohemian Rhapsody is about a young man who has accidental killed someone and, like Faust sold his soul to the devil. On the night before his execution, he calls for God in Arabic ("Bismillah" "Basmalah"), and with the help of angels, regains his soul from Shaitan. On the other hand, Kenny Everett (A radio and television personality), quoted Mercury as claiming the lyrics were "simple rhyming nonsense". Looks like Freddie took it to the grave!

While Roger usually only sings, footage I've seen of The Who shows he can play harmonica, tambourine, ukelele, and guitar.

Freddie Mercury was the main singer, but not the only one : Roger Taylor (the drummer of the band) sang most of the backing vocals in both studio albums and live performances, as well as some lead vocals (most notably on songs such as The Invisible Man and I'm In Love With My Car), and Brian May (guitar) also sang backing vocals and occasional lead vocals (notably on the introduction of Who Wants To Live Forever).
John Deacon, the bassist, never sang on any album, but did sing backing vocals on some live performances.

Is we are the champions the same song as we will rock you by queen?
No. They're totally different. We Will Rock You uses a rhythmic ostinata ie drums as the backbone and We Are the Champions is more like a power ballad.
The band queen started out as a band that went by the name, Smile, Which had guitarist Brian May and drummer Brian Taylor, and a bassist Tim Staffell. Freddie Mercury was a fan of smile and when Tim Staffell left the band, Freddie encouraged them to continue. In 1970, Freddie joined the band, and named it Queen! :)
