Other pop singers: *"in sick my nose is runny I can't perform sorry guys!"* Freddie: *"I have aids and I want to spend the rest of my time doing what I love."* *What a legend he was*
Justin bieber:OH GOD I TRIPPED AND IM BLEEDING! I CANT PERFORM FOR A MONTH Freddie Mercury:I have aids i rested for a little but im gonna perform TIL I DIE DARLING!
Friends will be friends. Of course, if I had a friend, who was dying, or suffering from an illness, like Freddie Mercury was, when he was alive, I would have stuck up for my friend.
yes and the media were sutch pigs towards him :(.In the end i think freddie would have prefered to live fast and die young rather then have to become old and limited.Because once you think that life isnt mutch more fun your life as you now it ends one way or the other.ps freddie was a party animal he lived for fun.
If it was 1 of the other boys, such as, Brian, Roger, or John, Freddie would have defended them, too. They were not just friends, they were like a family.
Poor Roger Taylor. Imagine being just a few hundred yards away, and your best friend's P.A. rang you, and said, "Don't bother coming, cos he's gone". That made me cry, with Roger Taylor.
It still would have been pointless. Someone dying of AIDS, especially in those days was a fraction of the shadow of their former healthier selves when drawing closer to death. I don't even think Freddie was able to communicate properly the last few weeks of his life. Scary disease and terribly sad loss.
Jim Hutton wrote about Freddie´s death " Freddie looked finally and totally in peace", " he was a picture of ecstasy","he looked radiant". I think it had been good for Roger to see Freddie , even if he was dead, in such a state. But they didn´t think about it.
Yes, I remember it all too well. It was as ugly as the media coverage of Amy Winehouse's last months and Britney Spears' very public breakdown. Each time I wanted to scream "leave them alone"!
They were like a pack of wolves, what a sick bunch of people, invading Freddie's privacy, and camping outside his home, Garden Lodge, like that. There is NO respect, care, love, dignity, and compassion, from the press, they are like a cancer, dressing up the rich, and famous, in the incorrect manner.
Queen are family. How many bands can say that, they are family, after 50 years ?. Not many bands can say that, that's for sure. Brian May, and Roger Taylor love talking about their lives, and times they shared with Freddie Mercury, and John Deacon. Queen are legendary. Even though, Freddie Mercury died, in 1991, and John Deacon retired, after the death of Freddie Mercury. Thank you, for your music, your memories, your humanity, your legacy, and your legend, Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon, Queen.
Actually its trough misery that makes you find out if the people you call "friends" are actually friends or just selfish bastards who may deserve an Oscar for pretending so well to be a "friend". And the more horrible the misery the more clear that becomes. Now I don't envy Freddie for the fate he met, but I think that it *is* clear that the people who thought to be friends actually WERE friends who stayed with him as long as they could up to the very end. And most people can hardly imagine what it must have meant for him as only a few get into the situation they really get to know their friends. And if Freddie is to be envied for something during this horrible story, it's for having friends like that.
Poor Queen. It pulled them apart massively. But maybe, just maybe in another world it was for the best, so that they didnt just break up. Even though Freddie's disease WAS horrific. Rest in peace Freddie. We all miss you. 😢♥️♥️🏳️🌈😭
Sounds rather cold and callous to me. Imagine being informed your best friend had died, in that brusque manner. I'd have gone anyway just to say a last goodbye. My brother died earlier this year, my sister and I were going to visit him, we knew he hadn't got long to live. On the way the hospice phoned my sister to say he had passed away. If they had told her in the same way that Freestone told Roger we'd have been really angry and upset.
Roger was an amazing friend, to Freddie. He contributed in a big way, by writing These Are The Days Of Our Lives, about Freddie's final public performance, and Roger's kids.
Hi Helene, I feel brian was sickend by the media, also Roger saying "its none of there fucking business" he had the right to be enraged. ps whats your favorite track?
That part where Freddie smiles at the end of "Days of our Lives" before saying "i still love you" always gets me, I always felt like he was putting on a brave face for the camera but in that one second where you see a real, genuine smile from him, he knew everything was gonna be okay and that he'd never be forgotten. Such a strong person, right up until the very end
yes I did that sir...after watching this,I feel deep pain..thought it happens a long time ago..I'm deeply moved knowing those true to him loved and protecting him..
I think that when you’re Famous you’re private life should be (Just that) the papers are welcome to ask about the topic you’re famous for and that’s it. Anything else should be what you have said in person.
It's been 23 years since freddie passed on. And since that dreadful day i've never seen a better charismatic frontman of a group like freddie......GOD BLESS you freddie.
It's odd... i don't know if it's because i know about Freddie's death and all that, and the fact that during their last albums, he was ill and slowly dying... but when i hear songs like Miracle and Innuendo etc, from those last records, i hear a vibe that's very somber and it's almost like it has death written all over it. The songs, even the happy ones have this eerie sadness to them, it's almost engraved in Freddies voice.
+Mad Dek That's true. All songs on the Miracle and Innuendo has some kind of sadness or melacony to them, but Theese are the days of our lives, and The show must go on are just heartbreaking
Roger is right about Freddie's voice ailing. It was definitely thinner. I can't listen to Innuendo because it's obvious in his voice and we all know his fate :'(
Can't bear the sight of Freddie looking so skinny and ill without shedding a tear. It would have been fine if he still looked like the old Freddie in the days leading up to his death. He used to look so majestic, powerful and sexy. Suffering from AIDS took all that away from him, but it didn't take away his will and his voice. Thanks for all the music, you legend!
roger taylor never got the the chance to say goodbye to freddie. one thing in life ive never done to my deceased i wasnt brave enough to do that. jim was with freddie until he died
at 11:25 it broke me seeing Roger start crying at the fact Freddie had gone as he was driving down to see him. they were all so close it must've been terrible to see one of their best friends dying in front of their eyes. rip freddie mercury, a legend.
I want to give Brian , Roger and John a hug right now. And hopefully they know that Freddie is watching over them each and every second, and who knows maybe Freddie is waiting for them all so they can play Scrabble. And if they can see this ( hopefully Freddie can see too if they have youtube in Heaven ) I love you guys you are the best band in music history and the best people to ever exist.
Jai Gray, Freddie's death still hurts, even though, I was 8 years old, at the time he died, I will be 36 years old, later this year, in 2019, we will never, ever forget such a great man, musician, myth, and legend.
Least of all Robbie himself he's just a flash fucking twat with a very high opinion of himself. He's a joke compared to Freddie Mercury who's legacy has lived on massively Robbie on the other hand well no one cares he hasn't had a hit in 10 years or more he's just some relic from the 90s Freddie's legacy is timeless!
He knew he would die so why bother thinking about things one cannot change???!!! A great attitude, just live your life to the fullest and enjoy every moment. Life is simple so don`t make it more complicated.
Brings a tear to my eye knowing that Freddie lived his last moments doing the thing he loved...making music, perfect gentleman and a true legend, R.I.P
Freddie loved, and respected ALL his friends, and they loved him, too. I am glad, on 1 thing, though. He saw Prenter for what he was, a complete, and utter Judas.
"I was about 300 yards away from Freddie's house when my phone rang - don't bother coming... he's gone" I can't even imagine how Roger felt at that moment, just the thought of losing a brother, a friend, a family member, makes me teary I remember the music "Made in Heaven" and i just agree with it totally, Freddie was Made in Heaven, and his legacy will go on to the world last living moments Because for me, everyday listening to Queen makes me smile and remember that live is worth living it fully, just like Freddie did, he lived his live fully and happily #QueenLivesOn #FreddyMercury
His friends protecting him without a second thought... made me cry so much. Their loyalty is exceptionally admirable and completely understandable. This video made me cry. Being 300 yards away and knowing you're nearly there but it's too late... I was a weeping mess xxx
I don't think any of us truly understand how fucking awful he must have been feeling by the time he did the video for "these are the days". I mean REALLY ill. What an absolute brave man. A trooper. A god. Freddie you are an inspiration. Everytime I moan about some trivial, pointless, a tiny problem in my life, I will think about how you fought that terrible affliction to the bitter end. RIP
My Uncle died from the same thing 16 months before Freddie which was a hard time. When Freddie passed away it completely broke my heart. Miss them both every day. ❤❤❤
“Don’t bother going over..he’s already gone” you can see the pain in poor Rogers eyes, trying to not cry. I don’t blame him though, I burst out into a tantrum like a two year old. We love you Queen. We will never stop ❤️
11:11 When roger said he was 300 yards away from Freddie but then peter called up to say he’s gone I burst into tears because you could just tell that he was about to cry when he said that 💔😭😭
If only the medicines for HIV and AIDS back then were as good as they are now, Freddie would still be with us. Gone, but never forgotten, a true rock n' roll legend and one of the greatest singers and frontmen in the history of rock, EVER. R.I.P.
They were truly brothers in arms, those three guys honoured Freddie's wishes until the very end which is what they knew he wanted as he was such a private guy and as usual the media showed zero respect for a guy that was dying and just wanted to be left alone to end his days with those he cared about, not the media and sticky noses but his bandmates and family.
Oh gosh I cried, even after all these years its heartbreaking. Not only was Freddie brave but the rest of the ensemble for opening up like this. I thank you
I get particularly emotional at this as we played 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives' at my sister's funeral. She was a huge Queen fan. Freddie was as brave a bloke as he was as charismatic a showman.
He is a legend, even when he was dying he was still working hard and being resilient . He is my idol, the one who inspires me everyday. It’s sad that he died but he at least lived a full life.
What a strong person, Freddie. "I just wanna make music till the day I'm fucking die. And let's go on with it." Respect, respect, respect. You're great, Freddie!
Brian May is one of the nicest human beings ever. A great guitarist ... and he has never had a bad word to say about Freddie. Love you to bits Brian. xx
Just cannot explain my feelings what I have after watching this video for the first time in my life, I never had courage to see it before. Its more than sad to see this and to hear, the part where the Freddie faced the camera for the last time for the video of '' those were the days'' made me cried and cried a lot and I am still crying. I cannot imagine a normal human can have such a strong will power that FREDDIE had, he knew he is on the doorstep of death but he still wanted to do music not for his own self but for his fans and for his lovers. This is the one of the main reason why I love him so much because he told life how to live, how to face worries and not minor worries but worries like death.
This always makes me emotional. You listen how they used to sometimes fight and have disagreements and then when they found out about Freddie, suddenly these issues became insignificant. Great job to all members for allowing Freddie to keep his private life as private as it could be.
I STILL FEEL SO SAD WHEN I LISTEN TO BRIAN TALKING SO PASSIONATELY ABOUT FREDDIE THEY STILL, MUST FEEL MORE LOST THAN THE REST OF US AFTER ALL THIS .TIME THE YEARS THEY WERE ALL TOGETHER JUST LIKE A FAMILY REALLY God Bless you three
Freddies has and always will be one of the ( if not the greatest) songwriters this country has produced there is NOONE that can come remotely close to him . Freddie was a musical genius who are we to judge his PRIVATE life the world is a much lesser place without him .Freddie you will live forever in my heart and i thank you for everything that you gave us rest in peace .... THE SHOW MUST GO ON
The last album, knowing Freddie was gone, profound sense of loss. So how it was for his loved ones...so much love and respect to all who protected Freddie. Hope they get some pleasure knowing new fans enjoy the legacy x
Watching this brings tears to my eyes.freddie was and always will be a legend and will never be forgotten unlike some so called stars that peddle there crap now.freddie will forever be in my heart.
I remember when that grainy picture came out. I also denied it, didn't want to believe it. Told my friends, he's not dying... and then he did. One of the saddest moments in my life.
Such an extraordinary man on so many levels. It's beautiful how he just wanted to spend the last of his life doing what he loved instead of letting people pity him, that just tells us how incredibly strong he was. Freddie Mercury was born to be on that stage. Most importantly the friendship between Freddie and the guys was so heartwarming, and if you ask me, those guys are legends for a reason.
Damn I cried, and I cry every time I see a video of Freddie's last moments or even the funny moments,it's weird how something hurting me inside my heart, I miss him as if I was a very close person to him, i really wish if I was born in his time and get a chance to know him closely better. He will stay always in my heart and in my mind as the great example person in life.
