Freddie Mercury 's 1987 "The Great Pretender" music video, directed by David Mallet, features Mercury humorously recreating his iconic looks and scenes from past Queen videos, including Bohemian Rhapsody and I Want to Break Free . This self-parody highlights his career and, notably, features him without his signature mustache, joined by Roger Taylor and Peter Straker in drag.

You can watch the high-quality remastered version on the Official Freddie Mercury YouTube Channel . freddie_mercury_the_great_pretender_official_vi...
