11. Freddie Mercury

5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991 (age 45)

Often hailed as the greatest frontman of all time, the legendary Queen singer died on the 24th November 1991 of bronchial pneumonia, resulting from Aids. There is some conflict about Freddie’s final photo, but it is generally accepted that this one, which shows him looking frail and gaunt from his illness in the Spring of 1991, was his last public photo.
