Claim: this is photo of Freddie Mercury applying makeup
Other captions used:
- Queen Freddie Mercury
- Mercury Makeup
The claim is not true. This image has been photoshopped. It is most likely fan art (one source: QueenAnatolia at DeviantART).
Original photo: “Freddie Mercury of Queen putting his makeup on backstage before a concert” by Neal Preston, 1980.
