Freddie Mercury

Queen singer Freddie Mercury's death in 1991 cast a shadow over the following year's ceremony. The group won an outstanding contribution award in 1990, when Mercury made his final appearance in public.

Two months after he died, Mercury won a posthumous outstanding contribution award at the 1992 Brits, while Queen's These Are The Days Of Our Lives won best single.
