Roger Taylor, drummer of the band Queen, admitted that singer Freddie Mercury sang like a “goat” and sounded “terrible” at the beginning of his career.
Queen drummer Roger Taylor revealed that Freddie Mercury’s voice was not very beautiful at the start of his career. According to the Daily Mail, Taylor admitted that the singer sounded like a “maniacal goat” and “terrible.”
“I don’t think you realize how terrible he used to sound. I mean, he sounded like a maniacal goat. His vibrato was extraordinary. My mother’s expression when she saw him,” the drummer shared about the band’s debut album, which has been remastered.
Taylor later admitted that Freddie Mercury improved his vocal abilities. “He became this colossal force that could reach the back of any show or stadium in Argentina. He touched everyone,” he praised.
“We had confidence and faith. Because we knew how to play and we believed in Freddie,” he added. Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991 from bronchial pneumonia due to AIDS.
