In celebration of what would have been Freddie Mercury‘s 80th birthday, Wembley Park has unveiled a 30ft anamorphic mural of the late Queen frontman.
Titled ‘I’m Mr. Mercury’, the hand-sprayed vinyl artwork was created by British street artist Frank Styles, showing Mercury against an array of graphic designs inspired by his life and passions, and unveiled on Saturday, September 5 2026.
“As a trained graphic designer himself, Freddie was very aware and precise about the visual feel and so I have endeavoured to follow his ethos in the conscious creation of this mural,” says the artist.
Appearing on the venue’s 58 Spanish Steps, the portrait aligns when viewed from a marked yellow circle opposite the steps, with the black-and-white portrait surrounded by designs including winged female figures referencing his Virgo star sign and the Queen crest he designed.
Quotes and lyrics also appear up the steps toward the stadium, where Mercury performed on several occasions throughout his career.
Commenting on the artwork, Queen’s manager Jim Beach adds: “Freddie was known to millions around the world as the frontman of Queen but off stage, he was a quiet and humble man, happy at home surrounded by the things he loved most. ‘I’m Mr. Mercury’ perfectly captures the beautiful complexity of Freddie.”
The mural is free to view and will remain in place until December 2026.
