Eight years after Mercury’s death, his creative legacy was marked with his own commemorative stamp, but the image became controversial, with one Daily Mail columnist criticising the Royal Mail for honouring the star’s “degenerate lifestyle”.

Other stamp aficionados were upset that Roger Taylor, Queen’s drummer, could be seen in the background. Guidelines for official stamps included a stipulation that the only living persons who can be depicted on a stamp are members of Britain’s royal family.
