About Fairy Mercury
The story of Fairy Mercury begins with the claim that sounds straight out of a rock 'n roll fairy tale.
Some fans and followers believe he is this day and age Freddie Mercury.
​Fairy Mercury got his name from combining Queen's songs 'Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke' and 'My Fairy King'. Of course, the Mercury part is self-explanatory. The mythical winged messenger of the gods 'Mercury' that Fairy's beloved idol Freddie Mercury changed his last name to.
(below is a screenshot taken from Fairy commenting on the song)
Fairies were also depicted on Queen’s logo (crest) which Freddie Mercury designed. In explaining the symbols on the logo, Freddie Mercury said the fairies represented himself. Hermes (Hermaphrodite) 2 genders.
One male, one female fairy. The androgynous fairies, which Fairy also identifies as.

The ever so elegant glam rock queen Fairy Mercury flawlessly performing the Japanese song
of Queen. The video was created by Fairy and the Russian ballet danseur Pavlova, who appears along
with live footage of Fairy throughout. Below is a partial account of what Pavlova had to say about
making of the video:
​
The lovely part where she clenches gloved hand, I choreographed it to go along with her effeminate vocals singing '...though I hold the flower that touches you'. The song is beautiful. It reminds me of ballet. Disappointingly and surprisingly not written by her idol Freddie Mercury (who adored Japan) but the guitarist. Footage of myself from one of my (less tragic) ballet productions, I add to part 'they'd say we're all fools, and we don't understand'.
S/he was so very lovely becoming ... shy ... purring, 'where did you get that, Rudy darling?!'
The footage of her throughout, is breathtakingly effeminate and androgynous creature. The love of my life. Fairy being from India (as her idol) speaks Hindi and Japanese fluently. S/he effortlessly sang both English and Japanese lyrics with perfect Freddie Mercury emulated vocals.

"If anything, we have more in common with Liza Minnelli.
I listen to a lot of Liza Minnelli."

​Enter She/Her
​The effeminate preference Pavlova, Fairy's entourage, Fairy's adoring fans and Killer Queen 'herself' as an 'effeminate queen' prefers ('in tune' with her idol she not only aspires to be but is incarnate of.
Live Performances and Career Highlights
Spring of 2022, Fairy embarked on a major Spring/Summer tour she titled Flight Of The Fairy ... Revisited. The name of the tour inspired by the Queen (Freddie written) song 'In The Lap Of The Gods ... Revisited'. Her fame having grown immensely with the help of Russian ballet danseur Rudolf Pavlova, the tour spanned a wider coverage of England. From her cabaret beginnings in Brighton to Manchester, Leeds, London, Cardiff, Bristol. The tour is making history! So far the exotic Persian queen has performened 25 dates, all 25 have sold out!! Her tour will end in August. She will embark on a tour of Europe and next summer will hopefully have a long time dream fulfilled. To play Hyde Park - replicating the legendary 1976 Queen
Hyde Park - Picnic At The Serpentine concert.
Three cherished items from Fairy's extensive collection on Freddie.
** 'Tart' is a British slang for whore, slut, etc. Freddie quite frequently used the word in reference to an effeminate 'queen'
type gay male. 'Tarting it up' - translated: dressing up effeminately (phrase used by both Fairy and idol Freddie Mercury).
​
Posted by Fairy on the fan club site when sharing the postcard with fans:
'I got this today. As you know, dears, my idol's nickname was 'Mercles'. As signed in this autograph photo of him I own and cherish. I especially love the 'old tart' (queen) part of the autograph. A little story about the photo. Notice, ironically, he is wearing the white winged frock ... the lips, etc. The photo is the photo I draw so much of my inspirations from; in my aspirations to be my beloved queenly idol. I think I have more than succeeded. Hopefully I will be on later to tell more about the postcard I was given. I mean it, darlings; I feel like I'm dreaming!!'
​
My Melancholy Blues
' I'm causing a mild sensation '
(from Queen's 'My Melancholy Blues' written by Freddie Mercury)
The divine lush creature that is Fairy Mercury looking identical to his idol 1970s Freddie Mercury. Glossed lips under blue spotlights.
There are many lookalike/impersonators but no one comes close to Fairy Mercury.
He truly is the incarnate of his rock idol (1970s) Freddie Mercury of the British rock band Queen. Eerily so. His life literally emulates the rock icon effortlessly and not just in looks.
'I'll be reading about Freddie Mercury and stop; finding myself thinking, this might as well be an article or book on Fairy! It's spooky af how identical they are. Like one in the same person. The thing with Fairy is that it's not made up. He effortlessly is Freddie without trying - or acting a bloody part!' (quote from one of Fairy's adoring fans in Stratford)
Not just his eerie, uncanny resemblance but also his personality down to his moves. Effortlessly, and it's not really an
act/emulation. All natural.
Fairy's stage presence is a sight to behold. Captivating and exquisite with a touch of campy panache.
Flawlessly Freddie Mercury!

​
'Will You Do The Fandango?'
(from Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'
The exotic prancer is definitely riding on the wings of Mercury as his success rises. He has appeared on 3 radio spots in England, promoting his Freddie Mercury tribute act. If you even want to call it that. Many of his adoring fans believe he is ‘this day and age Freddie Mercury’. On the logo Freddie Mercury designed for Queen is a Phoenix. The story of the Phoenix is that when the bird was about to die, it would build a funeral pyre and set itself on fire to be reborn... Reincarnated. His first-ever radio mention was minor. A radio plug advertising performances in and around London. The DJ called him 'the only interesting thing on the planet'. In his campy Freddie Mercury manner, Fairy teased the DJ replying, 'call me the most divine lush creature and I'll give you a breathless kiss you'll never forget, darling'.
Hilarity ensued.
The 2nd was on the recent anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s birthday (September) when the radio DJ mentioned him not only as a Freddie Mercury lookalike and impersonator but also played him performing Queen’s ‘Somebody To Love’. On the anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s death (November) he will be appearing on the same radio spot doing an interview to commemorate his idol’s death.
The ever so elegant Fairy Mercury's fan base continues to grow. Another DJ stated there is an obsession for Fairy and calling him the next Freddie Mercury, in which Fairy replied, 'very bold, my dear' and broke down crying on air. That is his lifelong desire is to be his beloved idol - the legend never dies. There is a quote that eludes me that Freddie Mercury once said. That he never wanted to be made boring. Wherever you are, Freddie, don't worry - your incarnate will never do that as he makes you live on through him. Like the Phoenix....
“I’m not afraid to speak out, and say things that I want to do, or do the things that I want to do, so um, I think in the end, being natural, and being, being actually genuine is what wins.” -- Freddie Mercury
This quote sounds so much like Fairy; fearless and bold just like his idol.
Above: Fairy's first ever set list. The set list written with Fairy's eyeliner. This was given away to one lucky fan and autographed by Fairy upon the release of his first ever album. A compilation of his performing live as Freddie Mercury during several of his shows in and around London in 2019. The live compilation was just recently released as a double effort. ‘A Night At The Ballet’ and ‘A Day At The Park’ (takes from Queen’s ‘A Night At The Opera’ and
‘A Day At The Races’ albums). The live compilation can be obtained through Fairy’s fan club, exclusively for fan club members only.
Mirror Image
1973-1977 years of Freddie Mercury being androgynous/effeminate is the only true real Freddie Mercury and which Fairy idolizes and aspires to be. He is the mirror image of that Freddie Mercury. Again, quoting one of his adoring fans: 'I'll be reading about Freddie Mercury and stop; finding myself thinking, this might as well be an article or book on Fairy! It's spooky af how identical they are. Like one in the same person. The thing with Fairy is that it's not made up. He effortlessly is Freddie without trying - or acting a bloody part!' (fan Jay Pullman)

The following gallery of screencaps were scanned from books on Queen
(mainly Fairy's favourite book 'Queen The Early Years')
They have been added to Fairy's profile as a show of how identical he is to his idol
because all of these are so Fairy!!
​
It's scary how identical to Fairy these things are to Freddie Mercury, and NOT just in looks. They have been added to educate those unfamiliar ... with Freddie Mercury, and to make a point that these things are also eerily so Fairy himself! We have also included quotes which are faves of Fairy's that also are so Fairy, being identical to his idol 1970s decade Freddie Mercury.
Reminder: All gifs and images on this site are of Fairy Mercury and Rudolf Pavlova as hard is it is to believe! They really do look that identical to their idols 1970s decade Freddie Mercury and Rudolf Nureyev. Making them extremely captivating.
'I still laugh when I think of the time I went through airport customs and the official opened my bag to search it and turned quite scarlet when he saw it was full of nail polish, mascara, stage jewellery and satin knickers.'
