Freddie Mercury and his Cats

Freddie also Wrote Operas!

In 1975, Freddie wrote a seven-minute rock operetta for the album ‘A Night at the Opera’. Overdubbing his voice, Freddie showed off his impressive four-octave vocal range on the innovative track. The song hit the top of the charts in Britain and became a top 10 hit in the United States of America.
