"I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend."
~ Freddie Mercury
British singer, Freddie Mercury is best remembered as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music, and also for being the lead vocalist of the rock band Queen.
Where Freddie Mercury's height is concerned -- he looked tall -- at least he had the proportions of a tall person.
A Questionnaire about the band Queen listed Freddie Mercury as 5-feet-10 inches tall and weighing a grand total of 119 lb (54 kg) -- he was very slim.
Seeing Freddie next to someone like David Bowie (5'10"), we think Freddie was at least 5-feet-9 inches tall in his prime -- possibly a bit more.
