I love to see him hold his mic stand in his left hand with champagne glass in his right hand while he is telling cheers to the audience, or with tambourine in his right hand when he is singing "Keep Yourself Alive" and "Liar"! :D

I can't believe nobody mentioned this......he played guitar right-handed!!! So therefore he was most likely a righty, I would think......
I thought there was only one way to play the guitar?
I play guitar left handed myself!
Wat was his original dexterity? In olden days in boarding schools and such they discouraged using the left hand and switching to the right
Freddie Mercury started out left handed. But since it is taboo in India to be left handed....stupid parents try to make their kids learn to use their right hand.
Such a thing happened to poor left handed Freddie Mercury. The poor guy naturally gravitated toward the "left" in everything. HAH!! :D
I don't know I just associate creativity and "genius" to left handedness. My cousin is left handed. He's also a genius, and an artist.
Most left handed people are WEIRD. Not all of them, but most. They don't fit in with the average crowd. So was Freddie.
Did you actually read all of the way through the forum pages to find this, and bump it up 2 years later? Why man?
im ambedextrous. its actually tougher to handle things, cuz some days i cant figure out which is more comfortable. my left hand will try to do what the right hand does, and vice versa.
i play guitars right handed, but paint with my left, write with both, and when i was little it was discouraged to use your left hand. i dont know why either. people are prejudice against the lefties! XD
some of it has to do with how you are taught. if i were taught guitar with my left hand i wouldnt have known better.
i dont know what that says about me being a 'genius' or whatever, but amby people are more of a minority than lefties.
anyway, as for freddie, i woudlnt be shocked if he was actually amby too. it explains his piano precision. im curious to know if he had a level of dyslexia?

Because that which is...has been before. And that which was....will be again.

Heh! Cute.
Nice job Raf840.
how do you know that he was born left-handed?
How do you proove? Parents did claim that?

Left handers have a tendency to be more artistic and visual, with hints of genius, and be more prone to turn out gay. That's just Freddie Mercury.
Thats just rumours. My arty musically friends who do it for a living (Older than me but they worked with my god mother) are aLL rightys
I thought the heading thinggy said the Hardness of Freddie Mercury...
If you look at the 1970's pics with the long hair and black fingernails, the hand with the painted nails is his left, maybe he was right handed and the 'Mercury and Me' pics one his was in a restaurant, his fork was in his, I think left hand, but when you see video and pics of him writing he's right handed.
Ambidextrous? Maybe.
Ambidextrous? Maybe.
Yes that must be it.
Right hand
Ok whatever. Since he was originally left handed
but when he was forced to write with his right hand as a kid, you naturally write better with your right hand. If you practice enough writing with your right hand you will get better at it.
If you get your right hand cut off or permanently injured, which hand do you have to write with? Yes it has been proven over and over
that people who must switch handedness suddenly for whatever reason eventually learn to use that hand just as well as the other one.
Remember handedness is just a preference it's not concrete.
And it doesn't screw your brain up as has been suggested.
