Freddy Mercury who is one of the most popular musical artists who ever lived can be compared to modern musician, Mika. Mika who first came to fame in 2007 with his album live in cartoon network adopted the same style of music as Mercury. Mercury is one of Mika’s main influences which are shown through his style of music and the fact that Freddie Mercury is mentioned in one of his songs that reached number 1.
One of the reasons that these two phenomenal artists have been compared is because the style and the image that they have constructed of themselves. Both of them sung songs with incredible and meaningful narratives behind them. They also wrote their own songs which now isn’t very common.
Their image can often be described as very camp and very individual. They are both incredible entertainers. Having both been signed by very high level record labels there public life was kept very quiet, especially Mika who is very rarely seen in the press. Moreover they are both often seen at music festivals, with Mika at Glastonbury on many occasions and Queens famous appearances at live aid.
