We'll see it tomorrow, but here's a preview

for those in the US, or just a fun replay for the rest of the world:



Today is the 65th anniversary of Freddie Mercury's birth. Mercury, whose orginal name was Farrokh Bulsara, was a British citizen born in Zanzibar of Parsi descent, primarily growing up in India. He died of AIDS twenty years ago, but made a remarkable impression on popular music. He had a four-octave vocal range and flamboyant performing style. Google honoured him across the world today with a doodle, but left the US web page unadorned due to the Labour Day holiday, with plans to put up the Mercury doodle tomorrow instead.
