Freddie Mercury’s Birthday: Heathrow baggage handlers commemorate the Queen star with ‘I Want To Break Free’ dance

By GEORGIA CHAMBERS

 

 

Travellers were in for a treat at Heathrow airport on Wednesday when baggage handlers broke into Queen's hit I Want to Break Free.

 

The team, dressed up in Freddie Mercury inspired moustaches and high-vis jackets, staged the surprise performance as a tribute to the Queen frontman on what would have been his 72nd birthday.

 

Before finding fame as a musician, Freddie worked as a bagger handler at Heathrow.

 

The song-and-dance, which was the vision of one of the choreographers from Strictly Come Dancing,  is part of the "Freddie For A Day" stunt organised by British Airways and Heathrow staff ahead of the new Queen film, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Brilliant.

I think you'll find it was a protest song against the newer more 'indestructible' luggage - they were singing

"I want to break three!"

Yea! Great

A truly great artist!
