In 2009 a plaque was unveiled in Feltham, where Mercury and his family moved upon arriving in England in 1964. The star in memory of Mercury’s achievements was unveiled on Feltham High Street by his mother Jer Bulsara and Queen bandmate Brian May. A tribute to Queen was on display at the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas throughout 2009 on its video canopy. In December 2009 a large model of Mercury wearing tartan was put on display in the centre of Edinburgh as publicity for the run of We Will Rock You at the Playhouse Theatre.A statue of Mercury stands over the entrance to the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End since May 2002, where the main show has been Queen and Ben Elton’s musical We Will Rock You.For Mercury’s 65th birthday Google dedicated their Google Doodle to him. It included an animation set to the Mercury penned song, “Don’t Stop Me Now.”Referring to “the late, great Freddie Mercury” in their 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech, Guns N’ Roses quoted Mercury’s lyrics from his song “We Are the Champions”; “I’ve taken my bows, my curtain calls, you’ve brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it, and I thank you all.”
Queen – The Miracle.
