Heavy metal band's flamboyant front man (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mercury

This clue is a double definition.

'heavy metal' is the first definition.
(mercury is a heavy metal)

'band's flamboyant front man' is the second definition.
(Queen frontman Freddie Mercury)

(Other definitions for mercury that I've seen before include "Planet - liquid metal" , "Planet nearest the sun" , "First planet from the Sun" , "Planet next to the sun" , "Messenger of the Gods, or a chemical element" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
