Defeated Opponents: Ronnie Lane, John Coltrane, Roger Hodgson, Paul McCartney
Propaganda: "He's very tall, his hair is the stuff of legends, his brain is the size of planets, he has a doctorate in astronomy, he built the guitar he still plays to this day (like a god) as a teenager. His songwriting and musical abilities have made him a legend in his own right and he also plays with this little group called Queen. Everyone who's ever met him unanimously say that he's the nicest, most decent person there ever was. Also, he's ridiculously beautiful in every decade he's been on this earth. Need I say more?"
"While Freddie is hot and Roger is pretty, Brian stands out as sort of ethereally beautiful. He floats across the stage in Zandra Rhodes while delivering heavy riffs, then switches to self-harmonizing in as light and fae a manner as you could wish."
"An Angel singing with his beautiful voice and his very own special guitar. On the best Rock tracks ever! His face like a greek god surrounded by heavenly curls, prancing skillfully on the stage with his long legs in platform shoes."
Freddie Mercury (1946-1991) Queen - lead vocals and piano
Songs: "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Seven Seas of Rhye"
Defeated Opponents: Leonard Cohen, Sting, Sammy Davis Jr., Marc Bolan

Thank you, Freddie 💕👑
And huge apologies if this year's drawing is a bit rushed, I'm awfully busy these days and had no time to get ready in advance... but hey, I think it's still quite good and I hope you like it 🥰
For this year's tribute I wanted to draw a younger Freddie, proudly admiring the final design of the Queen logo. I've always been fascinated by the fact he's drawn it himself, and by how much of himself he put into Queen (also demonstrated by the absolute care he had for all the memories he kept, as we saw at Sotheby's). I also wanted to draw him with cats, but not any cat... take a better look at them, can you recognise his inseparable best friends? 💖💖💖
Thank you for sharing your art with us, Freddie, I'm sure you know it's still alive, loved and celebrated. 🙏🏻💕💜💖💕💜💖
