Freddie's real goodbye to his fans was "These Are the Days of Our Lives". This was his last video, and it shows how very frail he had become. But he wanted to say goodbye in person, so at the conclusion he he looked directly into the camera and said "I still love you", and left the screen.
Love that song😢
There has never been a singer who can hit every note like Freddie…. Genius/legend..❤❤
Freddie's voice is unmatched
Did you know that even scientific study confirms Freddie Mercury had an unparalleled singing voice. That what makes his voice so special was extremely fast vibrato 7.04 Hz and subharmonics. He was able to create several more layers of harmonics than anyone else. Freddie was using a subharmonics by vibrating his ventricular folds, a technique usually found only in Tuvan throat singers. One of the conclusions from the studies was that "Mercury was vibrating something in his throat that even Pavarotti couldn't move and that kind of creates a very typical vocal fingerprint"
Freddie recorded the opera album BARCELONA with famous Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballe
Check out Freddie's solo Exercises in free love, his voice will blow your mind. It was his impersonation of Montserrat"s vocal style.
Fun Facts: Adam Lambert, who took over as Queen's touring frontman in 2011, says this is the most difficult Queen song to sing in terms of vocal range. "It's very high, and it's really intense," he said in an iHeartRadio Ask Anything chat.
-The video is mainly just clips of old Queen videos and a few live performances, but it is so cleverly edited and spliced together that it works as a video of its own.
-Guitarist Brian May wrote this while lead singer Freddie Mercury was dying of AIDS. It was Mercury's last official album with Queen, and when it was released, very few people knew he had the disease.

Not me in this crazy world with the Democrats!!😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮
LiveAid was a concert for Africa. It was raising awareness about famine and money to help people in Africa.
MOTHER LOVE was the last song he recorded, before it was finished he felt ill and tired, told Brian he'd finish later but passed before it was done, Brian sang the last verse to complete the song
Absolutely everybody in the World have to admit, that Freddie is the GOAT! His voice… goosebumps ❤ Freddie is forever!!!
Last video: These are the days of our lives. - Last vocal: Mother Love - Last live performance: August 1986 - Last song he partly wrote (the rest had to finish it but there are some of Freddie's vocals on the song): A Winter Tale - Last public appearance: February 1990 Brit Awards
Some information about this song: The lyrics are about the need to press on and make the most out of life while you can still enjoy it. It is inevitably a comment on Mercury's worsening condition, and his attitude towards life - May noted his incredible courage in the Days of our Lives documentary. "He never moaned, he never said 'my life is s--t, this is terrible, I hate it,'" said May. "He had an incredible strength and peace."
After listening to John Deacon and Roger Taylor playing the chord sequence that later on would be the basis for almost the entire song, Brian May sat down with Freddie Mercury and the two of them decided the theme of the song and wrote some lyrics. May wrote down the rest of the words as well as the melody, and added a bridge with a chord sequence inspired by Pachelbel's Canon. May was convinced the song's title was too predictable and offered to change it, but Mercury refused.
"The Show Must Go On" came from Roger and John playing the sequence, and I started to put things down. At the beginning, it was just this chord sequence, but I had this strange feeling that it could be somehow important, and I got very impassioned and went and beavered away at it. I sat down with Freddie, and we decided what the theme should be and wrote the first verse. It's a long story, that song, but I always felt it would be important because we were dealing with things that were hard to talk about at the time, but in the world of music, you could do it.
- Brian May, 1994
The lyrics are full of allusions, metaphors and other figures of speech, making it somewhat difficult to understand. Thinly disguised tragedy ahead is announced. In the end, the text refers to the determination, the furious desire to live ("I have to find the will to carry on with the show") in spite of vanishing strength ("inside my heart is breaking, my make-up may be flaking").
I woke up one morning with this image of butterflies in my head, and I thought I would love to hear Freddie sing: 'My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies.' I thought: this is Freddie. And he's not going to write it for himself, because he wasn't going to thrust himself forward in that way, you know? But I can write it for him. I wanted to put those words in his mouth. And it was a gift from God. I don't even know where those lyrics came from. So I presented it all to him the next time he turned up in the studio, and by that time he was suffering a lot. He could hardly stand. I played him some of the demo, with me singing, which went incredibly high and was very difficult. In the past, Freddie was always shouting at me, like, 'It's too fucking high! You're making me ruin my beautiful voice!' So he downed a couple of vodkas, neat, then propped himself up on the desk and worked his way through singing all of that song. And it was amazing. I think he did three or four takes, and he absolutely smashed that vocal. It's like he reached into a place that even he'd never got to before. I remember saying to Freddie, 'I don't want you to hurt yourself. You know, don't force yourself to do this if it's not going to feel good.' But he said, 'I'll fucking do it, Brian!' And he did. And it was beautiful. I think it's one of his finest performances of all time. It's incredible. "In the final mix of The Show Must Go On, when you get to On with the Show, you are listening to a man who conquered everything to deliver his finest work.”
- Brian May, 2023
Thats because most people try to camouflage things. Ofc we didn't know until the early 90's for sure he had AIDS. But Freddie knew he had "something" since 1985, just after Live Aid and before the Wembley tour. If it was not a disease that could be fixed he would have figured by the next year at most it was ending. Most songs we now look at as Freddie's last songs were written way before the video was recorded.
Brian May shared his concern with Freddie being as ill as he was he wouldn't be able to hit the high notes Freddie downed a shot of vodka and said fck it I'll do it. This amazing song was recorded in one take. I've been a fan since the mid 70s, I'll never get tired of listening to Queen. Freddie may have left us too soon but his music will live on forever. If I might make a request? I would love to see your reaction to Tie Your Mother Down live at Wembley 1986. 👑
Bawled my eyes out. 😢
Thank you for the memories ❤❤
This is not Freddie's last song. Mother Love is. He sang the first 2 verses and told Brian he didn't feel well and would come back the next day to finish. He never came back. Brian sang the last verse. The end of this song has Freddie's vocal improvisations from the Wembley concert. It also has a snippet of every Queen song ever recorded put together and then rapidly run through a tape machine. It also has a part of the first song he ever recorded, Goin Back which he recorded under the name Larry Lurex. Trident studios wanted to experiment with the Wall of Sound technique and asked Freddie to record 2 cover songs. Queen hadn't recorded their first album yet. Freddie told them he would not record a cover under his own name so he made up Larry Lurex. It is a play on the name Gary Glitter. He also recorded I Can Hear Music under that name. Both Brian and Roger are on those tracks as well.
I'm so glad you explained that so well. I wanted to add that Brian has been interviewed several times talking about how _Made in Heaven_ (Queen's last album as a group and released 4 years after Freddie died) was made. It is both a brilliant and heart-wrenching. Freddie was so ill, but insisted on going into the studio, even if it was for a very short time. Brian said they didn't write whole songs much of that time, but Freddie said, "I just want you to write a line and I will sing it." Brian said they would scribble a phrase on a piece of paper and hand it to Freddie. Then he would sing the line 3 times and move on to the next scrap of paper. As @MikeyDiLorenzo said above, Freddie was so ill that when he left that day saying he would be back and never did, I just don't know how Brian brought the strength to sing the last verse of "Mother Love."
After Freddie died and Brian, Roger, and John had a couple of years to mourn, they went back into the studio to cobble together the songs from the lines Freddie had sung. _Made in Heaven_ is a one of my favorite albums because of its tenderness and the love you could feel the three had for Freddie... and that Freddie had for Queen. The only instrumental Queen ever did is on this album (called Track 13 or Untitled) and I meditate to it several times a week. Track 13 is exquisite and often described as Freddie's Ascension to Heaven. _Made in Heaven_ also has the shortest track of Queen's library and is 4 seconds long... "Yeah." I think I'll put the album on now. I hope you will find time to listen to it.
@@barbherrera5613 Sorry to correct you, but Queen had done a couple of instrumentals before the one on 'Made In Heaven'. The first version of 'Seven Seas Of Rhye' on their first album & 'Procession' on their second album. 🙂
@@Hayden1969-ws4vy Ack!!! You are right! How could I forget those great pieces on Queen and Queen II!? Thank you!!! Good catch.
@@barbherrera5613 It's OK, we all do it occasionally! 😁
@@barbherrera5613I bought Made in Heaven not all that long ago and can’t bring myself to listen to it yet. I’ve heard some of the songs but not all. Thanks for adding that info. Freddie was amazing. He handled the last year of his life with dignity and sheer will and strength.
Brian wrote this one at a time when he knew Freddie didn't have a lot of time left, he knew his band would soon be done, his marriage was breaking up and his father was sick with cancer. In such uncertain times, the one thing that Brian knew was that music was part of him and for the most part the driving force in his life so in spite of everything, he knew that the show must go on. I don't think he had a clear vision about how that was going to be but he knew he would have to continue in a forward motion. Thank you for your reactions. I like to be appreciated for my efforts and I do like to be entertaining, but I do not like to be the center of attention. This is not Freddie's last video, Those Were The Days Of Our Lives was his last video and Mother Love was his last recorded song. The band knew for quite some time of Freddie's condition. He did not announce it to the public until the night before he passed, though. Live Aid was a charity concert for aiding with the Famine in Ethiopia, it had nothing to do with AIDS. The movie is confusing because it is a movie and not a documentary so a lot of it is not exactly correct and the timeline in the movie is way off. Putting 20 years into a movie really did mean moving things around so the movie was entertaining and interesting,
Great reaction. Freddie is an icon for a reason
Freddie will never be forgotten. A man ahead of his time. What a tragedy losing this man was.
Thanks to you and others who keep reacting to Queen, Freddie will NEVER die! He was the best front man/singer ever and will be missed forever! Freddie will be so proud seeing that his memory never dies (and his songs could never be sang with so much passion as him) can you guess I'm a huge fan of his? 😆😛🤩
Freddy Mercury was the GOAT!
"The show must go on" is a catchphrase that's been around for many, many years for actors and other performers.
Thanks Guys.
I loved this reaction. This is a fabulous song, but so much more poignant when you know that Brian May wrote it for Freddie and that he recorded it just 6 weeks before he passed away. And he knew... there are times when I'm angry that Freddie went out so early, but on the other hand, he went out on top. I have to think he would have hated the process of becoming old. Much like Marilyn Monroe, he will always be remembered as vibrant and young. Freddie was just so ... Freddie. He was like no other, for sure.
The album was actually released about 9 months before freddie died in 91 so was probably recorded in 90 but either way it's a great vocal for someone as I'll as he was in those years.
@@stuartaustin8130 Ah, you are correct. I see that they did record it in 1990 ... it was released six weeks before he died. My error. Thanks for the correction! 🙂
@@Melly01 all good
That line "I'll soon be turning round the corner now" still gets me. He knew his death was imminent.
The secret to Freddy's voice is deceptively simple.
What made him great was simply giving everything he had to the song. There is not a song in his catalogue where you will hear anything less than maximum intensity. "Intensity" can be defined many ways, it's not just being loud or fast. He just gives over all his emotion to the line he's singing, and holds nothing back. He had just enough range and control to do that with any emotion he needed to convey, and he capitalized on that like crazy. He's one of the rare vocalists that is just 100% connected to the lyric every time he sings it.
Great insight and so true.
Well said!
HEY GUYS….
The LAST thing Freddie recorded before he passed was:
“MOTHER LOVE”
…He only sang the first two verses, then told Brian he needed to leave and rest, and that he’d come back to finish the song later… and he never came back. Several years later, Brian sang the last verse to complete the song for inclusion on Queen’s posthumous-Freddie album: Made In Heaven.
“Mother Love” is a GORGEOUS song, well worth reacting to!
(But PLEASE NOTE: It’s much BETTER with just the LYRIC video or a fan-made compilation video… but PULEAZE… NOT the official music video!🫣 …It’s a confusing sci-fi thing which completely detracts from the song’s lyrics and deeper meaning.)🙏
Innuendo is my favorite Queen song... You need it in your life.
I prefer it to Bohemian 🫣...just adore that song
Not sure if anyone in your live chat said this...the Live Aid concert was put together by Bob Geldof (lead singer of The Boomtown Rats) to raise money for the people starving in Ethiopia. It had nothing to do with AIDS awareness.
Yes people get this wrong !
I remember being stunned when he died. I didn’t know he had aids before he passed. Things have changed so much in treatment unfortunately it wasn’t in time Freddie and so many other people. I have a family member who was diagnosed with HIV about 20 years ago and he is living a full life till this day.
Great song ❤
Thanks guy’s.
Freddie chose the name but I think it was Brian and Roger started the band. All of them wrote songs.
Saw Freddie twice in the 70s. I get all choked up listening to Innuendo.
✨️🎶✨️
Freddie Mercury was an artist and gave his best until his last day.
When you guys mentioned if the quality of his vocals be in bad shape as his health condition I was just waiting to actually see your reaction. I was glad to see a genuine reaction because it was real.
Yes, sadly a true artist left us in the early 90’s , just like Kurt Cobain tragically. The show must go on. I’m sure that was an statement from Mercury accepting his fate and acknowledging life and death.
RIP
Morning guys! Loved this reaction! He had such a beautiful voice. What a strong person a strong soul!❤
Brian May? You mean the guy who still plays and carries on the Queen legacy and also works with NASA as he is an actual Astrophysicist? That Brian May? Adam Lambert has filled in quite well and they still play to huge crowds. Brian also did some solo performances and did an interaction with a virtual Freddie to sing along. Very impactful and tearful presentation.
Famously has the same haircut as his wife and is a huge advocate of badgers.. eclectic…❤
NEVER FORGET 😢
Freddie was so sick when he recorded this that he had to sit at the desk in the studio, too weak to stand for long periods. Freddie was so amazing.
Brian said it hurt to stand and it even hurt to sit.. he had to prop himself up. 😢
I remember having tears the first time i heard that song back in 1991, i was 18 at the time, if you read the lyrics and to know what was happening at the time, there's no way you can't get emotional. He was only 45 years old, can you imagine all the music we could've had if it wasn't for that terrible disease that back in the day there was no medicine to fight it like we have today.
Amazing band. So many awesome songs and styles. The clip of the helicopter flying over the crowd was from their last ever live show in the UK at Knebworth Park in 1986. I feel so lucky to have been there
This song is beautiful and makes me want to cry. What a beautiful human he was and taken too soon! I often imagine the impact he would have had in f he would have lived longer. We all loved him. He was and is the goat!
The 1985 Live Aid concert was to help famine victims in Africa, it had nothing to do with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It was a massive coordinated multi-band live concert from multiple locations around the globe that was also broadcast live on television and radio. Each performer or band had 20 minutes to perform live, then the broadcast would be from another location so that they could take out the equipment from the last performer and set up for the next. Meanwhile, the audience was able to watch and listen to the performance from one of the other stadiums.
Queen chose to perform a selection of portions of their hits, like a jukebox sampler, while other performers chose to present material they were working on, or just a portion of their current concert material.
GREAT reaction gents!
I was waiting with a huge grin and anticipation after your skepticism on Freddie's voice capabilities being his last hurrah. The anecdotal story from Brian May is that he was very weak doing the takes, May recalls; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll do it, darling'-vodka down-and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal" - that is what Freddie put behind this - everything he had!
It was primarily written by Brian, but the band knew of Freddie's illness, so they knew how personal this would be - as gentlemen and good friends, they kept it quiet until Freddie chose to announce it!
Contrary to what you might think - Freddie was quite reserved regarding his personal life. As much as he was flamboyant, and his sexual orientation was almost blatantly obvious, I don't think he ever publicly disclosed these details.
I get chills every time I hear this song...the whole composition plus Mr. Mercury's perfect vocal delivery make this one of the best tracks they ever did! RIP Freddie.
Your reaction brought tears to my eyes ……I loved how you loved hearing Freddie’s voice. Have you ever reacted to “Love Me Like Theirs No Tomorrow” the animated version from Freddie’s solo album or “The Great Pretender” also from his solo, with Roger singing back up. Have you ever heard him sing opera with Montserrat Caballe …it is amazing…”How Can I On” and “Barcelona”. There is so much more for you to listen to…..please don’t stop. Thank you.
Nice hat Hollywoooood!! I'm a Bruins fan but much respect to you Dawg! HELL YEAH!!
Brian May wrote 'The show must go on'... but Queen was collaborating as a band w/ songwriting and Freddie Mercury contributed ideas but he was sick in 1990 when the album 'Innuendo' was being written and recorded... So, he could not work for too long in the studio. He relied on Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon to write the material. Queen was a brotherhood and they trusted each other...
However, Freddie still sang 100% when he recorded his vocals and 'The show must go on' ... was one of his greatest performances under the worst circumstances in his life... He was the singer and he had to make the words his own when he sang.
There was no way Queen would continue without Freddie Mercury... Bassist John Deacon did the 1992 Freddie Mercury tribute concert and completed the tracks for their last studio album 'Made in Heaven' (released in 1995)... but he quit the music business by '95 and kept his distance from Queen (He still collects royalties from the band but has lived quietly in the UK since then)
Brian May and Roger Taylor had no intention of carrying on as Queen and did their best to promote the band's catalog of music... In 2004, they decided to start touring w/ Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers... but it was as Queen + Paul Rodgers...
In 2014, they started touring again w/ American Idol contestant Adam Lambert as Queen + Adam Lambert... Their recent N. American tours were almost sold out and made more money than Queen made on their US tour in 1981 (the band was in decline by then in N. America)
Brian May wrote this song and when it came to recording he was concerned that Freddy wouldn't be up to it. Apparently he told him 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing' and Freddy just said 'I'll do it darling', put his vodka down and went into the studio and absolutely smashed it.
If you want to see the last video they ever made with Freddy you really should check out "these are the days of our lives", but have a tissue ready, it chokes me up every time!
Freddie sang this in the last months of his life Mother love is his last recording worth listening to,he died before 😢he could finish Brian sings the last verse.
Back to this Brian was wondering if he could hit the extremely high notes. Freddie said " ill fucking fo it darling," took a swig of vodka and hit the mic. This is a permission and suggestion song.
John the bassist left shortly after Freddie died,je wss so traumatized and wrnt into a deep depression they all said the ladt months although tough they were closer than ever. The group formed a tight circle around him,the tabloid press camped outside hos house for 3 months before his death causing them to flee to their recording studio in Switzerland.
The guys that took vate pf him daily till the end, his husband manager and band knew for quite a while but Freddie was concerned in 86 confirmed in 87.
Ill stop mow you must be asleep 😂. A fan since 71 when they formed so im an old lady now,and fancy a soom to be death also i took a lot of inspiration from Freddie and still manage on good days to dance around to Queen 😂 I too sm a fan of rap,see you ate never too old
Im sure thr updated news on Queen others will share.
Why not watch Liar at the rainbow 74 the video is great
Blessings from England xx
Never doubt the greatness of Freddie...
He is the voice!!
Cheers from Croatia!!
They still do concerts but with a different front man his name is Adam Lambert. He won America Idol years ago! He's good but I'm 63 and a big Freddie fan always!!❤❤ Rip Freddie the original Queen 👑 Loved and missed 🎸🎤🎵
John said it best, "As far as we're concerned, this is it. There is no point carrying on. It is impossible to replace Freddie."
He retired from public view and lives with his wife of nearly 50 years in the same home purchased with his first Queen royalty check.
The Show DID go on... with the great Paul Rodgers, formerly from Bad Company, for ten years, check out the song "We Believe" off the Cosmos album... then later with Adam Lambert, the almost winner of America's Got Talent, check out "Who Wants to Live Forever" live... they called them Q+AL...
TY for a great reaction... blessings.
Queen continues to this day. Initially it was Queen + Paul Rodgers and now it's Queen + Adam Lambert. Personally, I wish they'd get Marc Martel on vocals. He performed the vocals for the Bohemian Rhapsody movie if there wasn't a recording of Freddie they could use. Also he sang for the Ultimate Queen tribute band.
Queen died with Freddie.
Roger and Brian toured with Adam Lambert up until covid. They both had solo albums. They sold their catalog a few months ago to Sony for over a billion dollars, which is the most any band has sold their catalog for. They did not want their families to have to deal with the beast called Queen once they are gone.
Thanks for this freddie tribute...freddie was a very corageous man...!!
We miss you Freddie!
One of my absolute favourite Queen songs, Check out all of innuendo, especially I'm Going Slightly Mad (Insane video!) and These Are The Days Of Our Lives, have some tissues ready though, the greatest goodbye ever written
Singing and making music kept Freddie alive a little longer, he was a musician from top to toes.
PLEASE do "Who Wants to Live Forever"! It's an amazing and heartbreaking song. It's tied with this song asy favorite Queen song.
Freddie was a truly unique talent and human being that didn't exist before and will never exist again. ❤
Freddie at this point was so ill it was thought he would not be able to do the song but he said give me a shot of vodka and he managed it. He tried to do as many songs as he could right up to just before he died.
Somewhere, Superman is wearing a Freddie Mercury shirt. Read online somewhere and thought it was very fitting.
The show must go on is a very powerful life’s lesson you will pull through but for now the show must go on and so do you❤❤❤
Sonny & Cher were an American pop and entertainment duo in the 1960s and 1970s, made up of spouses Sonny Bono and Cher. The couple started their career in the mid-1960s as R&B backing singers for record producer Phil Spector.
A Winters Tale is the last song Freddie wrote and sang. It shows a man at peace with his destiny.
This is the last song Freddie recorded. He was really sick but he managed to go to the studio and do the miracle as always. He was really great!!!
The greatest performer of all time!
He is a myth, a legend, the goat!! If he only knew how special he was. How much of an inspiration he was 2 people, performers and influencers. Apparently, he was told his teeth were affecting his voice, but he decided 2 keep the way he looked. In the end, he performed the best gig of his life, and the most epic live performance ever! Live aid paved the way 4 the most watched festival performance ever played. And no other band could compete against them! Whoever seen them live, u r very lucky. And u’ll never see a band quite like them again. Xxx
Queen had so many great songs. This one is probably in my top 3, especially knowing the reference, with Freddie being so unwell, and passing away soon after this song. He really was special!
Paul Rogers from Free and Bad Company did a stint on vocals with them
Please check out Kerry King’s new solo album! It’s as metal as it gets! “Where I Reign” is one of my top 10 metal songs of all time right now
The Live Aid show was a concert raising money for the people of Africa who were starving during those times...where aids was a deadly disease when it started. I often look at how it killed Freddie, however Magic Johnson has survived it so far..
ghis is my all time favorite song by them. God bless Freddy Mercury
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday, grow but never die
I can fly, my friends
The song that released right before this one is good too. It’s called “These Are The Days Of Our Lives “
John deacon the bass player retired, Brian and Rodger sang with Paul Rodgers for a couple of years and made 1 album called Rocking the cosmos, the project never REALY worked. Then they heard Adam Lambert, on the American got talent, or the voice sing some queen numbers on the show. They invited him to sing with them since 2011. So they now tour as queen+ Adam lambert. There are live videos on UA-cam. Brian and Roger were already in a band called smile, when Freddie joined and then John,they changed the name to Queen. I have followed queen from the beginning seeing all uk tours, seen them with Paul Rogers, and Adam, I belive Adam has kept the band name prominent and help bring Queen music live, to a new generation. I think he was better than Paul, but never came near to Freddie.
SHOW MUST GO ON.....COMO QUERIA FREDDIE QUE TIVESSE CONTINUADO CONTIGO
Esta es una de las.mejores canciones de la historia de la humanidad
"Princess of the Universe", heavy Queen.
"who wants to live forever" Queen please react if you haven't. there is a story behind the song. also, react to any of the new releases of their songs with Freddy's replacement, Adam Lambert. When the band discovered Adam in a contest they created it was perfect. "The Show must go on".
In my top 3 Queen songs. Love it.
Freddy’s condition was pretty bad by the time Queen was recording this album. They weren’t sure he was even going to be able to get through it.
This single came out 6 weeks before he died.
You should watch Queen & Adam Lambert’s version of Who Wants To Live Forever at the Isle of Wight festival amazing ❤ Adam doesn’t try & be a replacement for Freddie he sings the songs in his own way I know a lot of Queen fans don’t like Adam but I think he is great went to see them in London a couple of years ago absolutely FANTASTIC ❤❤
I know this is after the fact, but yall stay safe
These are the days of our lives was the last Music Video Freddie was in.
The best vocal on the planet till today check out you dont fool me totally different style of his other tracks but it is in my top 5 tracks masterpiece
You should check out White Queen live at Hammersmith in 75 or 76, its possibly the most beautiful thing in the world ever.
Still makes me cry
Queen is the whole band.
I don't think you have seen the documentary it's on for much longer than half an hour and there are a few official ones with people who actually knew Fred, his mum, sister the love of his life Mary Austin, Sir Brian May Roger Taylor etc. The group got the name because it's short, fun and would be very different from names of bands back in 1970 and the logo was created by Fred out of the band members star signs. This wasn't his last song nor did he write it, Sir Brian came up with it and wasn't sure he'd be able too sing it becomes of how high some of the notes were, he said he thinks the lyrics say some of what Fred didn't want to say out loud in private and some of what his friends in the group wanted to say. People who knew Fred and only people who needed to know about his HIV/AIDS knew about it, what you're talking about was the timing of the press release, as he'd decided to stop all the drugs apart from painkillers a couple of weeks beforehand, he'd decide when he couldn't go on, and they happened to release the news and he passed away the day after, the public didn't need to know anything, but the press had been following him around quite a bit for the last couple of years of his life, hence the record called Scandal. BTW Live Aid was absolutely nothing too do with Aids it was fund raising for Africa and seen by over a billion worldwide. Fred joined Roger and Sir Brian at university they had a group and the bassist who also sang lead left to join another group, Fred had also been in groups at boarding school in India ( he's not from the UK) and he was in a couple of groups in London. It took the talents of all four highly successful and intelligent people too make Queen, and yes they are still together minus Fred and John
when i first heard this it made me sad cause you could tell he was gonna be gone soon and this was one of the ways of moving forward for the band and with freddys blessing that made it much sweeter to hear still miss his great voice and he will live on forever great video guys
👍👍Old School Awesomeness. 🖖❤
We all knew it'd blow you away.
Great reaction, as always. However this wasn't Freddie's last ever recorded song. Mother Love was. However, the Show Must Go On Freddie was very sick and was finding hard to even stand. He told Brian to just keep writing and he would sing whatever they wanted so he could leave them with material after he had gone. Believe it or not this song Freddie did it in ONE take. Brian asked whether he was okay to do it and he replied, after downing a shot of Vodka, "I'll f***ing well do it dahling" and he did whilst being propped up on the mixing table!!! Btw Freddie thought of the name Queen because it obviously sounded regal and was at the same time tongue in cheek/poking fun at themselves pretentious !!!!!! Stay safe from Manchester UK
Go Whalers! (Hurricanes). Speaking of Hurricanes, I’m alive from the heart of the NC Mountains. Sorry to worry the tribe, we had no cell service, power, water, food for days. We got extremely lucky, all around me many people did not fair to well.
Glad you’re doing ok David! 😊
While Freddie was overtly camp he never actually talked publicly about his sexuality. It was more of an open secret rather than him actually being open about it.
the Live Aid concert, was for world hunger, Ethiopia, at the time, not Aids. Also at that time in the UK, dressing as a woman, for fun on tv was normal. people then were much more open than today. world has regressed massively.
Brian May said Freddie would take a shot of vodka between takes.
Adam Lambert took over Freddie. We could all see he was on his way to the end so it was no surprise when he died. Poor Freddie, but the guy did like to party!!!
The boss Freddie RIP
Reaction Queen Breakthru video oficial pliss 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
After this you should listen to Mothers love and you will fall into tears. Mark my words
Brian wrote this.
Paul Rodgers, originally from Bad Company, did a really good job filling in as the singer, IMO
The master. ❤
Brian May said their last video with Freddie was These are the days of our lives. He said Freddie was so sick during the shoot that everyone was worried for him. May told him if he wasn’t up to it that’s ok. Freddie took a couple shots of vodka and told Brian I’ve got this darling. AMAZING 😮 🔥🔥🔥. The video is his last known piece of work & it’s easy to tell how weak & sick he was. Please react to that one. It’s his final goodbye 💔😢
I agree, they have to react to this song and video, you could see how much weight he had lost when filming this video, Freddie was a warrior.
Brian wasn't there when they filmed that video
I got all 3! Karen Carpenter had the most melodic voice! And yes Sonny & Cher were married
Pavlov's Dog Says HI! They'd love for you to give a listen....
