Freddie Mercury and his Cats

And the Final Fact is…

Long before he became one of the most celebrated singers in music history, Mercury held a slightly less glamorous position: baggage handler at Heathrow Airport.

He worked at the airport before he was famous!

To celebrate Mercury’s 72nd birthday, several of British Airways’ Heathrow baggage handlers took time out of their day on September 5, 2018, to entertain travelers with a choreographed tribute to their former co-worker.
