November 24

Freddie's battle with AIDS ended on November 24th, 1991, when he died little over 24 hours after publicly announcing his diagnosis. The passing of rock's most innovative, flamboyant ambassador marked the end of an era at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium on April 20, 1992, which gave rise to the Mercury Phoenix Trust, the AIDS charity set up in Freddie's remembrance by the surviving players of Queen and Freddie's Executor, Jim Beach.
