Freddie Mercury

I saw it and loved it. He was so talented and such a loss.

Oh, I am glad!
Weren't we lucky to have had him?

Thank you for this recommendation. As a direct result, I watched this show and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Almost christmas!

I think he was an incredibly talented man and his voice.....I listened to the isolated vocals once and was in awe.

Shakespeare said it very well 'He was perfect in everything. I'll never see the likes of him again.'

I watched this too. A great star and so sad. So many young men died too soon.

I regularly see his statue by the Lake and always pat his bottom ... although I refrained a few weeks ago. As every single tourist can't resist doing so... I caught Covid by doing so exactly 1 year ago. It took me several days before I realised what had happened ... as I had been so so so careful! In fact, a friend suggested it- and I thought 'bingo'.

SO jealous of all of you that saw him live!

You don't know what you've got till it's gone is certainly true of Freddie, I think.
He was just so great that it kind of gets forgotten until you see him in action again.

I watched both programmes, on catch up, this afternoon. Great, but had teary eyes at times. What talent .

Urmstongran.DH and I were at that concert at Manchester Maine Road too.and really close to the stage.That day I had just found out I was pregnant with our first DC.Happy days indeed and last nights programme brought back memories of how amazing they were.

Weren't the programmes wonderful! I also watched on My5 Freddie Mercury in his Own Words. Lots of interviews with Freddie (and others who were close to him, but mainly the man himself). It showed how shy he was in person, and I can relate as I am shy, but once in a costume and/or mask I change completely! As always I was crying by the end, as I was last night. An amazing man, song writer, musician and singer.

Very sad.
So many beautiful, talented, young men died awful painful deaths.
And to add to the pain, just a few short years later an effective drug treatment came out that kept people alive & well.

I adored the film Bohemian Rhapsody so much I went to the cinema to see it twice. Those Live Aid scenes gave me goosebumps.

Just recently I watched the video to Living on my Own. Oh my goodness what a thrill, I was singing along and longing for those carefree party days. Wish dear old Freddie was still here with us. We need people like him to light up our lives.

I absolutely adored Freddie and loved all Queen music.
No one can ever take his place, even though I do like the way Adam Lambert sings those Queen songs.
I think they are touring next year (Covid permitting) but I expect the availability and ticket prices are beyond me.

I saw them in May ‘77 in Southampton.
Also went to the tribute in 92, I’ve still got the ticket and programme.
David Bowie and Annie Lennox singing Under Pressure gave me goosebumps then and still does now.
Freddie was a one off, unique. The programme last night was sad, but interesting too, a piece of history.

Amazing man and band. We had them play at Uni the year before they really took off. The Student Union paid them £40 for the gig.
They were really friendly, chatting in the bar after the first set. Little did we all know!

He was the ultimate showman. We saw him in one of Queen’s last concerts at the old Man City ground Maine Road. Status Quo were the support band.

We also enjoyed the programs last night.
My brother was at Reading University in the late 60’s and he saw Queen perform one of their first live concerts there. He said they were not very good! I think Brian May was still studying at Imperial College then.

RIP

Fabulous Freddie he is so missed,

Bluebelle I thought the same and smiled at Freddies sister's singing. They don't look or sound alike, but it was nice to see her and I hadn't seen her before.

Freddie was so talented, one in a million, for sure.

Speak for yourself ?

It comes to us all in the end.
