I just finished Mercury and Me, written by Freddie's long time lover Jim Hutton... god what a tear jerker the end was. All I have to say, is Freddie's friend Mary sounds like a real cunt! Going against all of Freddie's wishes like she did (shakes head) Id hate to be her when her and Freddie meet up in the after life!!

Okay, Playstation just came out with a Queen Singstar (which is a Karokee game, we have it for our PS3) You know I had to buy it. It was worth every penny.... the only song they didnt have that I love is Love of my Life... BUT they have all of the videos for the songs. I forgot how sexy Freddie was in "Crazy little thing called love" Just sang for 2 hours, hubby says it's time for Queen to go to bed (poop head!!) Anyways, all you Queen (Freddie) lovers who like Karokee go get it!!!!!

Take some of Jim's comments about Mary with a grain of salt. Other friends of Freddie remarked that Hutton thought that he should get Garden Lodge since he'd lived there with Freddie and he was quite upset at having to move.
Most of the people who knew Freddie thought that Mary carried out his wishes the way he wanted them excepts for her delay in scattering or burying his ashes. If she didn't follow his wishes, she will get a good chewing out with some shouting when she reaches the "Great Beyond."

Jim Hutton was a big fucking asshole who cashed in on Freddies death by writing about the humiliating final days of his life. To this day, if I saw that worthless gold digging piece of shit I'd punch him in the throat. Who sells out the person they claim to live by writing embarrassing things just to make a buck?

JMO of course.

I have been to the Freddie Mercury bar in Stonetown, Zanzibar. Total dive of course but has lovely views back across the ocean to Tanzania.

No one could ever top or replace Freddie as a showman. Yes, Michael Jackson was incredibly talented and one-of-a-kind, but Freddie also had talent that comes once in a lifetime. It's so hideously unfair and tragic that he left us way too soon.

Has it been 18 years already????? Christ, time really flies.

Queen, and especially Freddie Mercury is one of my all-time favourites. I always wanted to see them live, but that never happened unfortunately. He was a true rockpersonality on stage. He could stir up the crowds like crazy.

It says SSOO much for Freddie both as a person and a musician that even 18 years after his death we all remember him with so much affection.

I don't know that we will ever see his like again, and I am so thankful that I got to see Live Aid...he really did take over the world that day.

RIP Freddie. You are still sorely missed, and always will be.

Me too!!!!!!!!!!

That was such an awsome day. I saw everything on the telly. With an exception of about two hours, because my dad wanted to see the Tour the France. Queen and U2 where the highlights for me.

ok, now I feel bad!! When I say that I got to see Live Aid, I meant on the tele!! Sorry to confuse!! Wish I could take the credit and say I was there but sadly not. I meant that I am pleased Live Aid happened in my life time, and that I got to witness it and see the day Freddie became the King as well as Queen.

He had the crowd eating out of his hand, and I will never forget when they did 'We Will Rock You' and a hundred thousand people in Wembley had their arms in the air doing the whole clapping thing. Amazing!

I don't know if you guys have seen it or if it's been covered in this thread but there is an anime called Cromartie High School that includes Freddie! He doesn't ever speak in the series but check out his introduction!

I was lucky to see Queen with Freddie several times, some of the best concerts I ever attended. Freddie was amazing and commanded the stage as the showman he was. Never to be replaced. My 9 yr old grandson knows all their songs. Amazing man and music that will never die.

You are incredibly lucky and I'm so envious! It must have been exciting to see Freddie owning the stage. This sounds crazy since I never knew him, but I miss Freddie and his music.

Every Thursday he would get a big tin of cheese biscuits . LOL I look for cheese biscuits when I'm in the bakery section of the food market. Just luv'm when I can get'm.

I'm convinced that Freddie knew at an early age that there was something special about him. By the time he and his family moved to the United Kingdom, he was telling people that he would be famous some day and not in the way someone who was daydreaming would state that fact.
More than anything, I wish I could have met Freddie, even if it involved a brief conversation. He seemed uncertain that people would want to approach him, saying,
"They probably think, 'that Freddie Mercury, he would never speak to me!'"

As Freddie said of the group at Wembley in '86 "We're not bad for four aging queens!"
