Freddie Mercury’s Birthday Cake, ca. 1984

A funny snap of Freddie Mercury celebrating his birthday with his band mates, ca. 1984.

From Daily Mirror – September 6, 1984:

CUPS OF CHEER FROM THE BAND

IMAGINE the problem. The birthday boy has everything under the sun.

He’s world famous, he’s a millionaire, and he’s also a king-sized extrovert.

He also loves a joke like the next man.

He is rock superstar Freddie Mercury.

And the only guys who can hold a candle to him are his mates in Queen, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Brian May.

Yesterday they presented him with a cake you probably wouldn’t see on display at the local bakery.
