    This puts a smile on my face. Listening to his friends makes me "wish" even more that I had met him, had gotten to know him. Imagine being friends with this wonderful guy! Oh my, the experiences, the laughs, the conversations, just being spontaneous and enjoying life. He gave, he shared, he showed us how to be strong even at our most weakest and vulnerable moments. Oh how I wish I could have been Freddie"s friend.

      @Francis Wilson, I "really" like your comment, you have put into word's exactly how "i" feel. It would have been amazing to be one of Freddie's friends &. As you said-the converstions would be so lovely. & something to treausure for the rest of our lives. I miss him so much, & even though he's not still alive his music will *always* live on. (Thank goodness) ♥

      @@lyndam4698 Yes, This was so enlightening coming from people who knew him, his true friends. There was something so magnetic about him that made people want to be near him,. I only know "of" him, but the complexity of his life makes me want to know more. We mostly know him as a great performer but there was so much more to him and I would have been so honored to call this dear, sweet man, my friend.

    LOVED THIS VIDEO! I introduced my Mum to Freddie by watching BoRap movie. She loved him so much she had me put two Queen songs in her funeral tribute video! She passed 1/5/20 and right to the end she would ask me to "put some Freddie on, please dear." I hope Freddie greeted her to the hereafter by singing!

He was not just a great performer with a voice that no one can ever surpass (other than Lanza but he was a different generation & an opera star which Freddie could and should have been as well)!! I feel he was a "real down to Earth" guy, there was no "putting on airs" with him. Viva Freddie! He'll be missed & loved forever. He sings in the Heavens now.

The GL story where they’re up on the balcony listening to people comment about the house as they come in is so dear. You can hear Freddie saying those things and it brings a smile to your face. I hope there is more to come.

Dont remember a fabulous compliment coming from them on Freddie. But they could talk about other guy with a line like "Talented, a Gift from God". What a rediculous irony.

    Freddie was a Virgo like me. Virgos always want to give their love completely. Also complex, creative and hardest on ourselves when it comes to whatever we choose to do as our work. Of course if he had chosen to flip hamburgers, he would have had to make the perfect hamburger for everyone. So glad he chose music and being the perfectly talented front man! Whenever I listen to him laugh or sing, it's the greatest experience. Like taking the best vitamin in the world and also knowing that he wanted us to be happy. Freddie, we all love you forever! 1😻😘❤
