—Leonard Cohen, Book of Longing, (McClelland & Stewart, 2006)
The Finnish declaration of independence was adopted by the Parliament of Finland on 6 December 1917. It declared Finland an independent nation, among nations and a sovereign republic and therefore broke the country free from being the Russian Grand Duchy of Finland.

On this day [November 24, 1991] - 45 year old rock singer Freddie Mercury dies of AIDS just a day after releasing a public statement that he was sick. Photos above are tabloids during his final months, which caused enormous speculation to the British press and public due to his rare and thin appearances. Queen released their final album with Freddie, titled “Innuendo” during February 1991. It included multiple hit songs such as “Innuendo” “Headlong” “These Are the Days of Our Lives” and “The Show Must Go On”. Freddie was an enormous inspiration towards many people and was one of the greatest performers who has ever stepped on stage.
Rest in peace Freddie.
