Freddie Mercury Statue

I first went in 1992 and since then it has convertided into a place of personal "pilgrimage" almost every year. Not only the statue but the combination that it forms with the mountains, the lake, the lake promenade. It is a place that inspires a feeling of calmness and almost total peace. A simply magical city.

Pilgrimage

Pèlerinage

Sur le quai de Montreux, la statue de Freddie Mercury est un véritable mausolée où les fans du chanteur du groupe Queen viennent laisser une rose ou tout autre hommage ; des bougies s'allument à la nuit tombée. Depuis la mort du chanteur (1991), il s'agit vraiment d'un lieu de culte, le culte d'une idole à la voix d'exception allant de la tessiture du baryton à celle du ténor. Oeuvre de la sculptrice tchèque Irena Sedlecka, le bronze représente le chanteur tel qu'il était vêtu en ouverture du concert de Wembley en 1986. Freddie Mercury était tombé sous le charme de Montreux au point d'y acheter un appartement et d'y enregistrer des albums dans les fameux "Mountain Studios" . Le fan club du chanteur entreprit en 1996 l'édification d'une statue en l'honneur de Freddie Mercury, L'opération s'étant avérée impossible à Londres, on a opté pour Montreux, et depuis, la ville est devenu un véritable lieu de pèlerinage pour tout adepte du groupe Queen et de son leader.
On the platform of Montreux, the statue of Freddie Mercury is truly a mausoleum where fans of the singer of Queen just leave a rose or other tribute, candles are lit at night. Since the singer's death (1991), it is truly a place of worship, worship of an idol to the exception from the tessitura of the tenor to baritone voice. Work of Czech sculptor Irena Sedlecka, bronze is the singer as he was dressed in the opening concert at Wembley in 1986. Freddie Mercury had fallen under the spell of Montreux to the point of buying an apartment and to record albums in the famous "Mountain Studios". The singer's fan club began in 1996 building a statue in honor of Freddie Mercury, operation having proved impossible in London, it was decided to Montreux, and since then the city has become a place pilgrimage for any follower of Queen and its leader.

Située à Montreux, près du marché couvert de la ville, la statue de Freddy Mercury est un élément indispensable de la ville. La ville a tenu à rendre hommage au célèbre rockeur en lui érigeant une magnifique statue près du lac Léman. Le chanteur est tombé amoureux de la ville et du Lac Léman et a même décidé de s’y établir. Le groupe a ainsi enregistré son dernier album, Made in Heaven, dans un studio de la ville.

The group has recorded his last album, Made in Heaven, in a studio in the city.
