RIP FREDDIE MERCURY

Makes me well-up every time at the end when he knew he was dying and says 'I still love you'

voted no1 song of the 70s..BR

all very sad and everything but he cost me a nice payout when he died.

I had KLF feat Tammy Winette {Justified and Ancient) to be Christmas number 1 at 14s that year then FM passes away and grabs the Xmas top spot.... KLF were number 1 the week after. :/

The best 25 mins in rock history. 30 years ago ffs!

I don't even have to look kenny I know what it is if it's 1985

He died in 1991...taken a while for the news to reach this forum
r.i.p.

Last seen playing for Celtic 

heard that Freddie wasn't keen on You're my best friend  as it was recorded (my favourite Queen track)

didn't like Deacons keyboard sound ,wanted a piano in the background -not sure if it would have worked - but the songwriter always got the last say in the band

You're my best friend  (Deacon)

Wurlitzer or Fender rhodes ?

Fender for my money

I thought You're my best friend was one of their rare weak tracks. Soz mate.

I love most of their stuff Canny -  prefer a lot of the album tracks to the singles and earlier stuff too  .

Death on two legs ,Phrophet's song -  absolute class.

Good old fashioned lover boy a great song too.

Roger could write a  song  too - gave it a bit of a go  .

Roger's my age. Keep going Roger. Wish John would re-join. Paul does a decent job as frontman when they play.

Don't know a great deal of their album stuff. Radio Ga Ga and Don't Stop Me Now my favs.

I'm listening to the Live Aid for a second time tonight Kenny even though I've watched it loads of times before. Thank you.

One regret in my life was I went out with my mate on the date of the Live Aid Concert while one of our mates stayed in just to watch it. We ribbed him for ages but we were the suckers. What a truly amazing spectacle.

It was a great gig, O'.Love the way Freddie got the audience to sing his notes.

2 hour documentary on C4 tonight at 21.00 "Who Wants to Live Forever", 25th anniversary of his death this Thursday

Channel 5

quite correct 5 it is

There are no words to describe the magnificent greatness of this man. Still miss you Freddie.

RIP

Gaga at live aid, Amazing tbh

Queen  - an enormously tallented Band and Freddie as the front man - sheer brilliance.

good program [apart from Roger Taylors wig]

I remember watching a DVD of the Wembley 86 concert. It's hard to describe, but he came out with his mic stand, stood in front of the crowd  and just lit up when the drums started on One Vision. He had 72,000 people in the palm of his hand within 5 seconds. Very few artists can manage that.

Sad sad loss. R.I.P Freddie

As they said at the end of the programme -

"He would have been 70 this year."

Hard to imagine.

- and today - it has just been announced ...

Freddie Mercury’s Mother Jer Bulsara Dies Aged 94, 25 Years After Death Of Queen Frontman

yeah ,just saw that onlooker - weird co-incidence

going back to last nights programme  - why were they talkimng about Queen being washed up by Live aid  ?

wtf ???

they had come back with the Works album well over a year before   (Radio GaGa,Want to break free etc )

maybe if they had said 2 years prior to Live aid .

many people speculated that they were going to split up until Live Aid came along, I have read virtually every biography written about them and that theory has never been confirmed in anything I've read.

Freddie would have been a Remain voter.

Live Aid definitely revitalised Queens popularity. They had ' gone out of fashion ' before this gig.
