Google honors Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury on his what have been his 65th birthday with an animated Google Doodle. The YouTube video has Freddie navigating through a crazy world inspired by his own lyrics. In one scene that looks like a video game, Mercury bounces off clouds, flies on a tiger and shoots at aliens from a spaceship, all to his hit song “Don’t Stop Me Now.” The Google Blog features a guest post by Queen guitarist Brian May, “Happy Birthday, Freddie Mercury“.
The Freddie Mercury doodle was developed over three months at Google by a team led by Doodler Jennifer Hom.
