File Under 'Excess', Part Four

Sex 'n' drugs 'n' rock 'n' roll

Freddie Mercury
Job Lead singer with Queen.
Vice Under ‘bohemian’ in the dictionary there ought to be a photo of Mr Bulsara. The man who worked his way through an army of lovers held parties so extreme, they were described as akin to “finding your dead grandmother climbing up your leg with a knife between her teeth.” Was fond of being sucked off in a tent at the side of the stage between a concert’s main set and the encore.
Greatest ‘Feat’ Snorted coke off a dwarf dressed as a cherub.
Price Of Pleasure Died of AIDS in 1991, aged 45.

Keith Richards
Job Rolling Stones’ lead guitarist.
Vice “Nobody’s got the right to judge over what I’m putting into my body, apart from my self.” So says Keef, a man whose heroin addiction sparked no end of awesome urban myths. “I never had a problem with drugs,” the axman explained, “only with cops.”
Greatest ‘Feat’ Keith often samples the drugs fans throw to him on stage. “Some of it’s pretty decent stuff,” he laughs.
Price Of Pleasure While he might have a face that’s less lived-in as vandalised, Mr Richards seems destined to outlive us all.
