I was shopping minding my own business the other day and at the tills a little 9 year old girl was singing “we are the champions” as she helped her mum, its wonderful that freddies music is still touching generation after generation, his legacy is still there for all to enjoy x
That would be so crazy to have been there at his funeral like that. I miss Freddie!! I saw him live, singing with that magnificent voice & his wonderful humor!! I will never forget him!!!
I saw Queen in concert in 1986. I was against the stage and at the end, Freddie came out with an armful of carnations that he tossed to people. I have one to this day, preserved in wax paper... a flower from Freddie Mercury. I fell absolutely in love with Freddie in the 70s when I was 12 or 13. Never stopped loving that brilliant man.
Obsessed AND crying. He’s been gone so long, but, it doesn’t feel that way. Videos and Music of his is still relevant. Such a beautiful, talented LEGEND!
The man that was Fahrokk Bulsara is gone, though because of his musical accomplishments and the millions of adoring fans Freddie Mercury will live on in our hearts forever. 28 years have passed since he left us, and I'd imagine he's smiling down not only on John, Roger and Brian but on anyone who tells a story about him, or listens to his work.
The first concert when I seen queen Freddie rocked that stadium, there was a house of 80,000 people in that stadium man it sent chills through you all he did was run dance sang and put a hell of a show on your the best And always will be thank you
No human could have arranged the moments of fate that you described in your story. From the traffic combined with being right at the crematory that point in time, walking through the people dispersing, making it into the crematorium, seeing his remaining survivors, just as the casket was moving in the oven, this was a spiritually arranged phenomenon just for you, no doubt. May the legacy of Queen live on, thru tribute bands like Queen Nation, and the like. Thanks for sharing your story.....
I really admire the fact that Mary Austin never has disclosed where Freddie Mercury's ashes are - so glad someone respected that he was a human being and not just an icon.
His ashes are at Kensal Green Cemetery in London. His marker reads: In loving memory of Farrikh Bulsara 5 Sept.1946 - 24 Nov. 1991 Pour Etri Toujours Pres Di Toj Avec Tout Mon Amour M.
@@maryvee61 yeah his ashes are not buried anywhere. It's a shame they were too afraid to bury them anywhere because they were afraid they'd be stolen. I would think that his mother might have had them and then when she passed his sister might have inherited or taken them, however you say it and it's not unheard of that people separate the ashes and give part of them to one person and part to someone else. I have read many people have given their ashes to their parents and then also their spouse. I'm sure Jim Hutton had some of Freddie's ashes until he died. I mean it's hard to say because his parents were still alive, you would think his parents would want them, but Jim and him were together a lot of years and they truly loved each other and you would think that Jim being the quote un quote common-law spouse he would want them as well. and of course Mary being his what he called his soulmate would also seem a logical choice. I mean it's hard to say. I would think that either his mother had them and then passed them when she died to the sister or to Mary or that they split them up and Mary had some and his mother and father had some, but he's not buried anywhere it's just a grave marker.
I would imagine Freddie’s ashes would be with Mary to possibly bury when both his parents had passed away to be with them, which would have been his Mother as his father passed first. I doubt they would have been shared out !! Or to be buried when the love of his life passes away to be with her. Mary is still alive so maybe the final resting place for Freddie will be with Mary. Who knows but at the end of the day it’s Freddie’s business only. He belonged to no one. Nobody does ❤️.
Trent I would say you represented every single one of his fans. Life is funny like that how things always happen for a reason. You were destined to be there on behalf of all his fans. What a memorable story to pass down through your family for generations to come.
Nicely done! When I think of Freddie Mercury, he lived life to the fullest doing what he was destined to do and is to make music, He knew how to put on a show and to entertain you to the fullest. He will be missed and AIDS still sucks. I really hate it.
I"m one of those who lived vicariously during this time and did NOT know or listen to this incredibly talented artiest > We all pay the price, sooner or later; unfortunately, some were taken away, too soon, but when GOD calls, we surrender. Today, I enjoy his music and appreciate what he left to the world of music. RIP Freedie.
I have always heard that there are no coincidences. Allan was meant to be there on a spiritual level. Almost like Freddie giving one of his fans one last gift or good bye while he was on this Earth. Allan went off of his feelings and knew when to stop and turn away. A moment that will forever live in Allan's memory. A story he shared with all of us, his fans!
I cant believe some of you think this was meant to be, millions of people Luved Freddy and would have wanted to be there. Why would one person be "meant to be there" ?
i had the privilege of seeing QUEEN in 1977 in the USA! WE LOVE YOU FREDDY AND WE MISS YOU! Greatest band in the world. Brilliant mind Freddy, you were a musical prodigy...and I thank you for that. .Rest in peace...
Listening to you tell your story just brought tears to my eyes. I can’t even, and I hope I never do, imagine the pain Freddie’s family was going through, as just the 3 of them left, say goodbye to their beloved son and brother for the last time. I don’t know if his family saw you but, if they did you may never know what a comfort you may have been to them at that moment. Showing them honor and respecting their privacy at the worst time of their lives surely had to be deeply appreciated. I know I would have. What a kind man you are. Thank-you so much for sharing your private memory of Freddie.
If I had a time machine, the first thing I would do is go to a Queen concert and witness with my own eyes the greatest, most talented human being there ever was.
Rather than going to a concert perhaps you better find the man who gave him AIDS and beat him to death; then turn to Freddie and hand him a lifetime pack of condoms...
What kills me is I've seen so many people in concert over the years, I am almost 60 but I never saw them and I grew up in New York I mean I had every chance in the world to go to Madison Square Garden or whatever I don't know why I never saw them, big time regrets.
"God puts you where wants you to be". My mom used to say that, and I've come to believe it's true. There are no accidents or coincidences. You were meant to be there representing all of us fans (then & now) who mourn and pray for Freddie's soul. You've been blessed with a sacred memory. Thank you for sharing it with us so beautifully. 💛
Your story gave me goosebumps. It appears that you were meant to be there. Queen was a huge part of my teenage soundtrack, and I was even blessed enough to see them perform. Still, to this day one if the best live shows I've been to. A tie only to Prince.
Freddie Mercury had an incredible voice he was a character larger than life! The Queen Band was definitely one of the most creative bands ever and guess what folks I remember them in the 70s and 80s and I am now at 81! I went to see Bohemian Rhapsody and was totally blown away! shows your age doesn’t matter!
Dear Marcia Clark, I just discovered Freddie and Queen. It's like being young again. I'm 76, so you're my big sis, Marcia. Let's rock our love out to them, together. Fondly, Diana/Chicago
Being born in the 70s, Queen was always around me. I remember watching them on tv, heading their music everywhere throughout the decades but never understood what the hype was about....... until now.
Me 2. Never seen them in person or concert. Now I'll never see them! RIP Freddie. Mercury. Queen. Rocks. On!! We will rock you... in heaven!@!! Still love listening to all your music !
Believing that Freddie was by his family's side in spirit...I choose to think he also saw a true fan, a decent fan, a humble fan that took care to step back. That maybe he got some kind of pleasure from that moment in time...because it was always about the show for the fans really. Thank God it was a decent one!
Thank you for sharing your story, cherish that memory to be w Freddie for the last time. You did not behave inappropriately. You loved him and that was it, I'm sure Freddie would not mind a fan was still there for him to the final close of the curtain. God Bless Freddie and his family.
Under normal circumstances I would be upset and disappointed in Mr. Allan MacFarlane, but after watching this video and hearing him explain what happened and how respectful he was at such a personal time for the family, Mr. MacFarlane conducted himself appropriately and with dignity in my humblest of opinions. It had to be the most surrealist of experiences for him. I respect the man wholeheartedly.
As it will end for all of us... In the end, you're a human being with a soul despite your failings and successes. Rest In Peace, Freddie... Your talent touched so many people!
What an experience, I respect your story and how humble you were in telling your story. I feel that you were outside of the exact place for a reason and to tell this story to all future fans. I was only 2 years old when Freddie died, and I still ache for his life. I'm definitely crying, I can feel the weight of what you felt in those moments and I'm shaking. What you said about the larger than life performer now being dead and his parents saying goodbye weighs on me. I hate that his body was taken from him because of HIV / something that could now be stopped. The ultimate heartbreaking story.
Freddie n queen always have been and always will be the greatest ever, loved queen since a was 13 years old am nearly 50 now, Freddie was my hero, pure genius,,
He's amazing a good singer and song writer,. I thought his still alive because my brothers still listening on their CD'S. Thanks to Bohemian Rhapsody,. After I watched this movie I become Queen lover fans.
Wow.......quite a story indeed! & yes, I think I'd be blown away by what randomly happened to me if it were I.....I'd never forget it till the day I die.
Queen: I feel alive when I see your videos and when I listen to your music! Thanks for this Legacy. Freddie: I would like you to be here with us in 2018
Thank you for sharing. God had you there for a reason. Nothing happens for no reason. Great respect for you understanding that you needed to leave and give the family their time. Not many would do that. No greater band, entertainer or singer to ever grace us with his presence. Freddie Mercury just drew you in when you watched him perform, no matter if it wasn't live. He had the "it" factor all the way around. I grew up listening to Queen and I still do. My heart aches when I see him now just knowing he isn't here. It's just sad. He was so blessed and so talented. Loved by a universe! He will always be remembered. Too many of us to forget him!
It felt weird because you didn't belong there,you were a stranger. I think it's so often forgotten these are human beings first and iconic second. We have a right to what they choose to share with us, nothing more. No wonder Mary is so private.
I've been lucky to see so many groups and singers from wham ,madonna,Micheal Jackson to Eminem and everything inbetween but queen were the best by a mile. Freddy mercury was the best entertainer I've ever seen. People who are talking about safe sex and stuff have to remember things were very different back then when he first was diagnosed (around 1986 I think) it was only just starting to get talked about very little was known and very few people admitted to being gay there was a lot of stigma attached to it,It was a totally different culture people were less tolerant and understanding.
Wow just wished Freddie was still here so we could all hear what rendition of the star spangled banner he would’ve done for a Super Bowl experience.. with his extraordinary octave!!!!
the first rock song i ever heard was another one bits the dust....wierd how connected i never new it was to me until the movie was released. Of all the rock i follwed, his death that was televised was prominent to me. I bounce around the stage as he did, i had a very similar musical youthhood, and now as i write this, i feel close. im much too young being born in 1975 to have known all the history, and not allowed to listen to rock and sneaking my 8track radio off to tune into something....I found what I was looking for, and it has shaped my musical life without me ever knowing....miss you even though i never got to know you...
tears...my sis was at elvis wake i always felt a bit jealous i missed out..but after you drew me to mercurys..i know now i shouldnt have felt this way. thanks i believe. tears. i miss you freddie and yet eye can almost see you. smiles. 💜
I saw Queen In Oakland Ca. In 1978 And It Was The Best Light Show And Concert I’ve Ever Been To The only Other Band that even came close to Queen Back Then In Concert was KISS I’m Am SoSo Happy I Got To Witness Freddie And The Boys Live R.I.P.Freddie
Listening to your story, I found you to be deliberate in locating Freddie's funeral by firstly driving to his home to hopefully get a look at who would be there in their time of grief and secondly listening to the radio to locate his funeral, this was not a public invitation or a chance for you to be interviewed by the media, yet you chose to push the boundaries and delighted in storytelling of a family at their most painful and vulnerable time. You delighted in observing the pain of Freddie's parents and sister, you greedily took in the sights, the notes and the aroma of the flowers, you revelled in watching the comings and goings of the stars who were not stars to Freddie but personal friends who's hearts were breaking while the final farewell of someone who they loved and had known for more years than you could ever imagine. Finally you have the audacity to produce this with the title of FREDDIE MERCURY AND ME ! I came across this by accident and I've never been so sorry to view such a disgraceful story when the reality of this is, YOU invaded and took delight in pushing the boundaries to see how far you could get before being found out for the uninvited intruder that you were. Shame on you !
You were meant to witness for Freddie through the eyes of a child...Honest relay of a sacred moment with his loved ones. Beautiful. ✨❤️🕊 ✨You are mine.” Isaiah 43:1
what a story, and so interesting about David Bowie's flowers--as major bowie adorer -so great to get these tidbits, especially now that David is gone--
There is no tragedy, Rich; all the beauty and heartfelt intelligence he gave us and we are still receiving. While he was here he gave us all,, everything what more could we want. I'm happy he was born. Sing out loud with his concerts, let the tears flow until you are smiling and laughing through tears of joy. Freddie loved each ones of us and wants us to be happy when we remember him.
Hi ,@@richcarnaggio1525 It just did it to me again-- writing to you and whoops, off into cyber space. Perhaps my notes are too long. Anyway, just found Freddie/Queen and am enchanted. I think my replies are too long and blast off somewhere. Is it cold where you are? It's -22 degree chill factor in Chicago. No one on the street -- at all!!! By for now, Best to you. Hope we can talk more later. Hope the gov shutdown ends soon
Here I am, 11 years old listening to Queen, crying about a man who died 28 years ago and I wasn’t alive to know him or see a Queen concert. My parents didn’t even introduce me to Queen, I gain interest in Queen and Freddie Mercury. Freddie is my idol, the reason I keep on going with life, he inspired me to pursue my dream of being a musician and pianist. I’m practicing piano right now (but I suck).
Seven Seas Of Ry I doubt that yousuckat pian I admire you for trying keep at it one day you may be as good as freddie I'm not joking I tried to play got over whelmed so please keep at it I have faith in you peace and loveo
I am not so glad Trent stepped back, I believe he was meant to be there, to have gotten as far as he did, and not be asked to turn around He was there for two reasons, he was meant to be there and Freddie Mercury wanted him to be there. Trent, I thank you for sharing your beautiful story final memory). You made Freddie very proud!
AWWW Friend! ♡ My heart goes out to you, ...but thank you for your sincere, polite, compassion! Just understand that not everyone would have responded as so respectful, ...but you did! ♡ ...had it been someone else, they very likely might have disturbed his family's last few moments with him. And I know that Freddie deeply appreciated that! ♡ So ALWAYS remember that about yourself. Such a genuinely SWEET compassionate gesture! ♡ Love and blessings to you and yours!♡
I was shopping minding my own business the other day and at the tills a little 9 year old girl was singing “we are the champions” as she helped her mum, its wonderful that freddies music is still touching generation after generation, his legacy is still there for all to enjoy x
I met Freddie and Queen in 1978.
One of tbe greatest days of my life x

Omg, ur so lucky! I’m only 13
Beautiful.
Love of my life.... he was and will always be beautiful!!! Keep the rose close...
Crying with you... he was a gorgeous human being ....@@lindahoffman3957
Freddie will always be a part of me even though I’ve never truly seen him. I’m 13 and have no intentions of quitting my love for Queen anytime soon
Squidly Squish beautiful comment !! Thanks for sharing
gina.cs.79: thank you
Omg I'm 13 too you should marry me
Jub Jub: lol
The man that was Fahrokk Bulsara is gone, though because of his musical accomplishments and the millions of adoring fans Freddie Mercury will live on in our hearts forever. 28 years have passed since he left us, and I'd imagine he's smiling down not only on John, Roger and Brian but on anyone who tells a story about him, or listens to his work.
Nah I think Freddie is smiling but saying oh fuck off darling
Your presuming hes in Heaven
Life went on but after losing Freddie the light dimmed a bit...
good words, Tina 💕🙏
Yes...
Sadly
Sad moment when Freddie's lovely spirit left us.....
The first concert when I seen queen Freddie rocked that stadium, there was a house of 80,000 people in that stadium man it sent chills through you all he did was run dance sang and put a hell of a show on your the best And always will be thank you
No human could have arranged the moments of fate that you described in your story. From the traffic combined with being right at the crematory that point in time, walking through the people dispersing, making it into the crematorium, seeing his remaining survivors, just as the casket was moving in the oven, this was a spiritually arranged phenomenon just for you, no doubt. May the legacy of Queen live on, thru tribute bands like Queen Nation, and the like. Thanks for sharing your story.....
I really admire the fact that Mary Austin never has disclosed where Freddie Mercury's ashes are - so glad someone respected that he was a human being and not just an icon.
His ashes are at Kensal Green Cemetery in London. His marker reads: In loving memory of Farrikh Bulsara 5 Sept.1946 - 24 Nov. 1991 Pour Etri Toujours Pres Di Toj Avec Tout Mon Amour M.
@@jerrytyler8394 No its just a marker, he is not buried there.
If I had to guess, his ashes are somewhere with Mary and they are contained inside of a cat statue
@@maryvee61 yeah his ashes are not buried anywhere. It's a shame they were too afraid to bury them anywhere because they were afraid they'd be stolen.

I have always heard that there are no coincidences. Allan was meant to be there on a spiritual level.
Almost like Freddie giving one of his fans one last gift or good bye while he was on this Earth. Allan went off of his

if i had a time machine i'd buy an take truckloads of modern day aids medication to hand them over to freddie
from 1982-83 onward that is.
Rather than going to a concert perhaps you better find the man who gave him AIDS and beat him to death; then turn to Freddie and hand him a lifetime pack of condoms...
Me too!
What kills me is I've seen so many people in concert over the years, I am almost 60 but I never saw them and I grew up in New York I mean I had every chance in the world to go to Madison Square Garden or whatever I don't know why I never saw them, big time regrets.
So missed and so loved, wish I had seen him in concert.
May I ask y u didn't see Freddie in concert?

Being born in the 70s, Queen was always around me. I remember watching them on tv, heading their music everywhere throughout the decades but never understood what the hype was about....... until now.
Chilling...heartfelt...sad...full of empathy. Great respect for Allan MacFarlane.
FREDDIE WAS SUCH A SPECIAL PERSON WHO GAVE SO MUCH TO FANS FAMILY AND CHARITIES REST IN PEACE FREDDIE
What an amazing story! Told without bragging. I'm grateful that he was respectful to the family and knew to quietly leave them in their time of grief.
Verry good
Amen, Freddie, Amen... Your work has been known by billions
He was the greatest singer to ever walk gods green earth . great video too
Me 2. Never seen them in person or concert. Now I'll never see them! RIP Freddie. Mercury. Queen. Rocks. On!! We will rock you... in heaven!@!! Still love listening to all your music !
Wow. What an experience you had. Thank you for being respectful.
I saw in concert when I was very young..he died I cried ..for him and me realizing my youth was gone...heart breaking ..really
R.I.P Freddie Mercury. Immortal
Believing that Freddie was by his family's side in spirit...I choose to think he also saw a true fan, a decent fan, a humble fan that took care to step back.

As it will end for all of us... In the end, you're a human being with a soul despite your failings and successes. Rest In Peace, Freddie... Your talent touched so many people!

Ashley Marie, don't know what to say or how but what u wrote is amazing.
Shear tears are streaming down my face listening 😭😭😭 thank you for sharing !!! Long live Freddie ❤️❤️❤️
Ps. Freddie IS and WILL ALWAYS be THE GREATEST SINGER THAT’S EVER LIVED ❤️
You are NOT alone, Scarlett. Nonstop listening to & watching Freddie and crying also! Such a beautiful, talented LEGEND! Such a unique voice!
What an amazing story! And kudos for being so aware of the family and showing such respect! Amazing yet sad I should say!
Freddie n queen always have been and always will be the greatest ever, loved queen since a was 13 years old am nearly 50 now, Freddie was my hero, pure genius,,
I would have loved to have been in your shoes saying my final good byes to a legend! Freddie will be loved n missed by so many especially me! ✌💚🌷
OMG!!! What an incredible story - absolutely surreal that you would be left in the crematorium with his family. Thank you for sharing Allan MacFarlane
How sad to end that way. I wish I could have seen a concert with him.
Wow! Very emotional situation. You definitely did the right thing!
He's amazing a good singer and song writer,. I thought his still alive because my brothers still listening on their CD'S. Thanks to Bohemian Rhapsody,. After I watched this movie I become Queen lover fans.
Wow.......quite a story indeed! & yes, I think I'd be blown away by what randomly happened to me if it were I.....I'd never forget it till the day I die.
A special experience with an exceptional person, even though he'd past, I'm sure his spirit was lingering near, saying goodbye to his loved ones.
This is an essential memoir of one man’s experience with the last of the great Freddie Mercury.
Queen: I feel alive when I see your videos and when I listen to your music! Thanks for this Legacy.
Freddie: I would like you to be here with us in 2018
Thank you for sharing. God had you there for a reason. Nothing happens for no reason. Great respect for you understanding that you needed to leave and give the family their time.

the first rock song i ever heard was another one bits the dust....wierd how connected i never new it was to me until the movie was released. Of all the rock i follwed, his death that was televised was prominent to me. I bounce around the stage as he did, i had a very similar musical youthhood, and now as i write this, i feel close. im much too young being born in 1975 to have known all the history, and not allowed to listen to rock and sneaking my 8track radio off to tune into something....I found what I was looking for, and it has shaped my musical life without me ever knowing....miss you even though i never got to know you...
thank you
What a touching story. Thank you for sharing. RIP Freddie
One of the sadest moment in the music history, Can not be forgotten easily.
I had the privilege of seeing Queen perform 3 times. I idolized Freddie. This experience takes me there. Thank you for sharing
tears...my sis was at elvis wake i always felt a bit jealous i missed out..but after you drew me to mercurys..i know now i shouldnt have felt this way. thanks i believe. tears. i miss you freddie and yet eye can almost see you. smiles. 💜
I think you were meant to be there....i would consider that experience as a privilege....thanks for sharing
I agree. You were there for-a reason...
Yes you was meant to be there. I wish I was . Miss you Beautiful one Freddie
Grammar nazi coming through,capitalize the I
@@user-fn2pe5ym9x grammar nazi says that "you was meant to be there "does not make any sense
I saw Queen In Oakland Ca. In 1978 And It Was The Best Light Show And Concert I’ve Ever Been To The only Other Band that even came close to Queen Back Then In Concert was KISS I’m Am SoSo Happy I Got To Witness Freddie And The Boys Live R.I.P.Freddie
Listening to your story, I found you to be deliberate in locating Freddie's funeral by firstly driving to his home to hopefully get a look at who would be there in their time of grief and secondly listening to the radio to locate his funeral, this was not a public invitation or a chance for you to be interviewed by the media, yet you chose to push the boundaries and delighted in storytelling of a family at their most painful and vulnerable time. You delighted in observing the pain of Freddie's parents and sister, you greedily took in the sights, the notes and the aroma of the flowers, you revelled in watching the comings and goings of the stars who were not stars to Freddie but personal friends who's hearts were breaking while the final farewell of someone who they loved and had known for more years than you could ever imagine. Finally you have the audacity to produce this with the title of FREDDIE MERCURY AND ME !
I came across this by accident and I've never been so sorry to view such a disgraceful story when the reality of this is, YOU invaded and took delight in pushing the boundaries to see how far you could get before being found out for the uninvited intruder that you were.
Shame on you !
Wow! Thanks for sharing your story, Freddy is a legend.
Oh man........ what an experience.... so randomly serendipitous & deeply unforgetable for him, I can imagine.
Wow..... surreal....& mindboggling...I have goosebumps. Its like the universe opened a door to usher you in as a witness.
a beautiful story and you are right, it's yours for whatever reason. Thank you for sharing it.
Wonderful story, you were there on My behalf Pal, you did GOOD
God, I miss Freddy 😢 ..(2022) Love u Freddie forever....and I can't wait to see you in heaven ❤ I will love him till I die....
You were meant to witness for Freddie through the eyes of a child...Honest relay of a sacred moment with his loved ones.
Beautiful. ✨❤️🕊

what a story, and so interesting about David Bowie's flowers--as major bowie adorer -so great to get these tidbits, especially now that David is gone--
an incredible story
He was one of the best entertainers that god gave us. His voice will never be forgotten his playful antics on stage it just tragedy
There is no tragedy, Rich; all the beauty and heartfelt intelligence he gave us and we are still receiving. While he was here he gave us all,, everything what more could we want. I'm happy he was born. Sing out loud with his concerts, let the tears flow until you are smiling and laughing through tears of joy. Freddie loved each ones of us and wants us to be happy when we remember him.
Diana L. Clausen your right I did and still do enjoy the music the voice
Hi @@richcarnaggio1525, I just wrote a reply to and it just disappeared!!! If you don't get it, glad to send another, if you want.
Diana L. Clausen sure I’d love to if it’s no trouble 😘
Hi ,@@richcarnaggio1525 It just did it to me again-- writing to you and whoops, off into cyber space. Perhaps my notes are too long. Anyway, just found Freddie/Queen and am enchanted. I think my replies are too long and blast off somewhere. Is it cold where you are? It's -22 degree chill factor in Chicago. No one on the street -- at all!!! By for now, Best to you. Hope we can talk more later. Hope the gov shutdown ends soon
Here I am, 11 years old listening to Queen, crying about a man who died 28 years ago and I wasn’t alive to know him or see a Queen concert. My parents didn’t even introduce me to Queen, I gain interest in Queen and Freddie Mercury. Freddie is my idol, the reason I keep on going with life, he inspired me to pursue my dream of being a musician and pianist. I’m practicing piano right now (but I suck).
Seven Seas Of Ry I doubt that yousuckat pian I admire you for trying keep at it one day you may be as good as freddie I'm not joking I tried to play got over whelmed so please keep at it I have faith in you peace and loveo
Thank you for leaving. We are humans first and that act by you displayed your humanity. A lesser person would not have done that. R.I.P Freddie.
I saw Queen in the 70's in Kansas City, Mo. They were at one time, my favorite group.
Thanks for sharing RIP Freddie
Thank you for sharing your story. So happy you had the sense to step back and leave the family to their prayers.
Bohemian Rhapsody Movie is one of the most greatest movie of all time for me! Im crying! Im so inspired from Freddie’s life!
thanks for sharing
I miss him ❤
good work Al and Trent
, another brick in the wall. Emotional after seeing his film.
Very talented! If I had a chance to watch him, I would. Great legend!
I am not so glad Trent stepped back, I believe he was meant to be there, to have gotten as far as he did, and not be asked to turn around He was there for two reasons, he was meant to be there and Freddie Mercury wanted him to be there. Trent, I thank you for sharing your beautiful story final memory). You made Freddie very proud!
Lee Lee cheers mate
Freddie.. my love😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢👑🎩
Thank you for sharing your experience... I'm sure it wasn't easy to see
AWWW Friend! ♡ My heart goes out to you, ...but thank you for your sincere, polite, compassion! Just understand that not everyone would have responded as so respectful, ...but you did! ♡ ...had it been someone else, they very likely might have disturbed his family's last few moments with him. And I know that Freddie deeply appreciated that! ♡ So ALWAYS remember that about yourself. Such a genuinely SWEET compassionate gesture! ♡ Love and blessings to you and yours!♡
An awesome singer.a legend of music
Tu historia me dio mucha congoja. Mi amor eterno por Freddie!!! Te extraño todos los días hace 27 años!!
