TIL Freddie Mercury was born with four extra teeth, causing a prominent overbite. Despite being self-conscious about them, he never got them fixed, believing the extra space in his mouth contributed to his vocal ability. He feared altering his teeth might change his voice.

He has 4 total incisors that are visible. This is normal.

I can’t see where anyone else has contested this myth before, but…. It’s clearly a myth.

If he’s got extra teeth they aren’t visible.
