There is hardly a person who would not have dreamed that he would be happy wherever he came and that he was paid for it. It seems impossible. However, there are such people. These are world legends. Unfortunately, most have already died. If they were alive, then all the doors would be open for them. This is not luck, but the result of hard work. David Bowie, a singer, composer, artist, actor, producer and songwriter, belongs to such people.

On January 8, 1947, a baby was born in Brixton, London, whose full name was David Robert Jones. "The worst place and time for childhood than London in the 1940s is impossible to imagine," said neighbor Bowie. Despite this, David was still able to reveal his potential, even in elementary school, where he was remembered as a purposeful and talented child. After the family of the future star moved to the neighboring suburb of Bromley. He entered primary school there. David's vocal abilities in the school choir were rated as "satisfactory", playing the flute was considered better than average. David was not particularly upset because of the best evaluation of his gift. He was talented and talent always stayed with him. David carried it with him. The dancer and mime Ledsey Kemp, whom he met being the young musician, recalls: “He lived on his emotions and had a most wonderful influence. His daily life was the most theatrical of the performances that I have ever seen. For me, he was a living embodiment of bohemian life. I joined the circus. ”

 His idols were Elvis Presley and Frankie Lamon, Chuck Berry. They were the benchmark for David.

In the early 1960s, Bowie performed under his own name or under the pseudonym "Davy Jones", which had two spellings - Davy and Davie, which created confusion with Davy Jones from The Monkees. To avoid this, in 1966, he took the pseudonym of Bowie in honor of the hero of the Texas Revolution: being a big fan of Mick Jagger, he learned that “Jagger” translated from Old English means “knife”, so David took a similar pseudonym (Bowie's knife is a type hunting knives, named after Jim Bowie. David Bowie’s birthday is considered to be January 14, 1966. It was on this day that he first appeared under that name with the group The Lower Third on the cover of the "Can't Help Thinking About Me" record.

David Bowie did not admit in one interview that he always wanted to become famous, but did not always know how to do it. By this, he explained the variety of experiments in his creative activity at the beginning of his career.

For the first time, glory smiled on David in 1969 - with the release of his single "Space Oddity". The single hit the top five UK hits. What is so amazing about this song? This is what she left at the same time as the first astronaut landing on the moon. The song itself in the title and text contained a reference to the film Stanley Kubrick "A Space Odyssey", as well as popular at the time psychological overtones. So began the career of a musician. In addition to music, David starred in a variety of films. He even made a contribution to the gaming industry. The first game of the famous David Cage was embodied in a lot by Bowie. He wrote music for her. Also in the image of a musician was modeled a character named Boss.

In 2000, the weekly “New Music Express” conducted a survey among musicians of various styles and trends. Journalists asked only one question: “Which musician had the greatest influence on your own work?” According to the survey, the most influential musician of the century was David Bowie.

David Bowie recently left life. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016 after one and a half years of fighting liver cancer, but he will live forever in the breach.

“How cool, I can eat sausages on the street. Nobody bothers me, and I am happy that I can be like everyone else, although he would hardly have liked to be like everyone else ” – this is what they say about the legendary man whose name is remembered by more than one generation of people – this is Freddie Mercury. Live, real, hates failures, he fell and rose again. This is it - a rock star, a world-scale legend, a leader in life, and the lead singer of the Queen group.

Freddie Mercury was born in September 5, 1946 in the Parsi family. Good thoughts, good words, and good deeds – perhaps this is the only and most important thing that his parents taught. Their dreams have come true and continue to be realized so far in the singer’s creative heritage.

It all started with the fact that once then, just a guy named Farrokh met a group of musicians, from whom the lead singer left. A Pakistani-born guy offered his help to budding musicians, but he only laughed. Then Freddie showed them his talent. That was the way the band formed, Queen. Freddie Mercury himself called all members of the group royals. Therefore, it was. This is true. Four members. Each member is an individual. The word of each person of the group is important, but at the same time, their group was not just a team, it was a family. Nevertheless, Freddie was the leader, although the singer did not recognize this.

A lot of bad and good news has been written about the lead singer. However, even those who are not personally acquainted with him know him. Freddie Mercury was so open. He did not take away all the glories of his glory. He did not put himself above the others. He was a leader not because he wanted to lead, but because he simply did his favorite work – he sang and inspired people.

Freddie Mercury was a shocking man who could not be limited to any framework. Therefore, it is displayed on a rock band. Contemporaries of the 80s, more than once tried to limit the work of the group with some kind of framework. Their efforts were unsuccessful. Freddie did not allow anyone to limit himself and the group. Creativity of the group was diverse. Each band member could write a song. It is not hard to write a song. Only Freddie could make a real musical hit. He was not afraid of change and experimentation either in life or in work. The most popular songs of the “Queen” group are the result of the Freddie Mercury experiment. The leader of the group literally hypnotized the crowd of spectators, forcing people to sing along with it. People liked to be part of the Queen group even for a few minutes. Freddie noticed this and decided to use the crowd in the song “We will rock you”. The task of the audience was very simple - stomp your feet 2 times and clap your hands once. Such a find did not let the audience relax for a second.

Freddie Mercury was charismatic and freedom loving. Many did not like his behavior, but he didn’t want to please everyone. All the same, you will not please. When Freddie was offered to record a solo album, the tone called him “Mr. Bad Guy”. Unfortunately, the album was not successful. Freddie perceived defeat as the beginning of success. He was not afraid of failure and began to work hard in the Queen group.

The singer died early in 45 years. The last days of life were not very different. All his life the singer lived every day as the last day. His love for life and creativity inspired more than one generation, “Show must go on” and the show of Freddie Mercury continues and will continue for a long time. Legends do not die; they simply cease to be with us forever remain in their creative legacy.
