Sadly today is a sad milestone in music history as it's the 25th anniversary of the passing of Freddie Mercury and KISS' second drummer Eric Carr. Mercury passed due to bronchopneumonia as a result from AIDS. As is well documented, Mercury only confirmed he had AIDS a day earlier almost like it was the last thing he needed to do in terms of getting his affairs in order. Of course, his illness was a badly kept secret since it was obvious especially by 1990/1991 he was sick and that fact Queen suspiciously didn't tour after 1986 despite continuing to release albums. Mercury was only 45. Carr passed due to heart cancer which he got diagnosed with in February 1991 and fought it all year including open heart surgery and chemo which seemed to work but then suffered an aneurysm only two days after his last public appearance at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards that September. Sadly, Carr then suffered a brain hemorrhage and never regained consciousness. Carr was probably KISS' best drummer as he seemed to fit in more than original drummer Peter Criss and brought a harder style to the band which gave them heavier sound which Gene Simmons said. Carr was 41 and was the first KISS alumni to pass away (the only other to date is third guitarist Mark St. John in 2007).

Zelda: A Link to the Past - TV Commercial 1
Happy 25th Anniversary to The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past which was first released in Japan on this day. What can I say that hasn't been said? One of the greatest games of all time and true masterpiece. I think I speak for most of the video game community when I say that if anybody considers themselves a video game fan, they have to play this game at least once in their lives. A true video game treasure.
