British Airways honours Freddie Mercury's birthday with epic video

Freddie Mercury might be gone, but he will never be forgotten. 

The Queen star, who died in 1991 from bronchial pneumonia, would have turned 72-years-old today.

As people around the world celebrate the legendary singer’s life, British Airways came up with a very special way to honour the star. They took it back to the time before Freddie was famous - when he worked at Heathrow Airport in the UK as a baggage handler.

In honour of his birthday, baggage handlers at Heathrow Terminal 5 decided to dress up in some of Mercury’s signature outfits and performed some of his moves for passengers with the song ‘Break Free” playing in the background. 

“Freddie for take-off! Watch our baggage handlers pay tribute to former Heathrow baggage handler Freddie Mercury, as we celebrate the Queen legend's birthday ahead of the launch of “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the new Queen movie released on October 24th,” British Airways tweeted.  

Here is the video of the special tribute. Get ready to join in the dance.
