Freddie Mercury

Who'd have thought Brian would be so sensible now
?

Oh they did like their trousers tight in those days.
I shall end up with bloodshot eyes!

And that may have been in a "longest sentence" competition.

I think I saw a programme where it said he had the attitude that by the time aids was known about, Freddie already realised that he was at risk, as of course, nobody had known about it, and he had been a real free spirit.

Wow!
Couldn't they play!!!!
Amazing.

Yes, brilliant!

Thanks, MissAdventure.

I remember an interview with Freddie in the early 80’s. He was asked what he thought he’d be doing when he was 60. ‘Sixty, darling? I shall be dead by the time I’m sixty!’ I wonder if he already knew? ?

Wow!
Couldn't they play!!!!
Amazing.

It always strikes me how much his bandmates really loved him.

Such a lovely clever talented man
I was surprised to see his sister and as she hummed to his music she certainly hadn’t followed in his musical talent
What upsets me is that only a few years on they had managed to find a cure if only it had been in time for Freddy

I've been watching all evening - so sad, AIDS the pandemic or epidemic of the time.

They're not really sad.
It was rather atmospheric, actually.
The vicar spoke over the top of the music at first, then faded his voice away and let the wonderful Mr. Mercury take over.
Mum would have loved it.

I so sorry to bring back such sad memories missadventure

We are the champions was played at my mums funeral.

I always drive long distance with his cds, especially to and from England. Always did when, as a family, drove down to the Alpes to ski. Once we were in the middle of nowhere in China and the driver asked if he could put his cd on, he added that we probably didn’t know it. We burst out laughing when we heard Queen. Daughters even sang in Beijing at the French embassy 1998 ‘We are the champions’. Such a part of my life.

His beautiful hands!
They really are lovely.

Brilliant programme!

I remember watching a programme about a man with aids years ago.
His partner held him in his arms and sang "you are my sunshine" to him.
How tragic it all was...

I nursed one the very first people admitted to a British hospital with full blown AIDS I will never forget that lovely young man.

He is like a delicious cat, slinking around the stage.

BBC 2.

Which channel was this on, please?

It’s hard to believe it’s thirty years. ? We saw Queen in 1977, around the time of the Silver Jubilee. My ears took days to recover from the experience and my eyes have never recovered from Freddie in a harlequin cat suit just feet away from me!

Oh boy, they could playyyy!

I love it if I can find someone to watch music with me.
It's a definite downside if living alone, having nobody to sing with.
