Notable moments

Freddie Mercury

The 1990 Brit Awards saw the final public appearance of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.[1] Queen appeared at the ceremony to receive the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.[1][2] Mercury – who had been suffering from AIDS since 1987 but had not yet disclosed it to the public – did not make a speech, as Brian May did the talking on behalf of the other members, but his gaunt appearance was noticeable. He briefly thanked the public and wished them goodnight before Queen left the stage. Mercury died in November 1991 from complications resulting from AIDS.[3]
