    It's high time for Brian May to be knighted in England. He has done so much for music, human rights and trying to combat Aids and Cancer in addition to his many good deeds for wildlife and animals. Sir Brian !

      Brien Comerford he has spoken against monarchy in later years so I highly doubt he'll ever be knighted

      All the members of Queen need to be knighted. Freddie, John, Roger, and Brian. Especially Freddie and Brian! They've done so much for the music industry. And it's high time they get what they've deserved for a long time.

      I agree, with you. I hope that, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon are Sirs Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon, and had Freddie Mercury lived, he could have been Freddie Mercury MBE, because he wasn't born in the UK. Sorry, if I am saying the wrong thing.

    Freddie truly was a genius. It hurts to listen about how he was, and that he isnt here anymore. He was taken far too young.

    This is one of my favourite clips of Brian May talking about his friend and band mate Freddie, he talks so highly of him with great respect and his extraordinary talent and humour which we all miss so greatly. Freddie was a such a talented human being and Brian is right he should still be here creating his unique music. I never knew him, never old enough to see him live , started following Freddie & Queen in 2020 and hooked ever since. Freddie has inspired me so much and makes me so happy watching interviews and concert videos! Miss you Freddie. The most talented human to have ever walked this earth 👑🎸🎤🎹❣️Thank you. Brian for keeping Freddie’s spirit alive 🤗

    I’m a big Queen fan and it’s mi first time watching this. I gotta say, after watching Brian live 5 times. He always takes a chance to speak about Freddie. He was not his band mate, he was friend… but not the kind of friends that go along in the party or happy times, they, also John and Roger, where really brothers. I smile while crying watching this video

    Thank you Sir Brian May for this official honor of Freddie at his home, but I also wanted to say thanks to all the other members of the Group and all the players! I think Queen is one of the most honorable bands in history! May God always bless all of you!

    Queen's music used to mean a lot to me as a teenager. It felt like Freddie was the only one who understood me. Music that comes from the heart, reaches other peoples souls. Love you Brian. x

    I just ran into "Brian Talks" tonight and have listened to 3 or 4 of them. There is some thing that is quite soothing about the sound of his voice as he talks. When he does talk it is always because he is saying something that is worth hearing. I am guessing that this must be Freddie's home when he lived with his parents. Looks like a very pleasant place to spend a few of your formative years.

    ME TOO, && team up with, team up with "Mennel Ibtissem" , since both of you have gone forward, don't look back. she looks a bit like Jeanne d'arc, pretty eyes pretty face; on diplomatic terms. arts & politics if you like. In other words, the political events become artistic involving the political & artistic events on a new technological environment. Making the political biosphere understand the artistic ecosphere. Technology has exacted the events and the accuse becomes the pathfinder. Science & art. A convict was playing cards with his jailers. On discovering that he cheated, they kicked him out of jail.. Arthur Koestler. The word “matrix” means any habit or skill, any pattern of ordered behavior governed by a “code” of fixed rules. . . . The exercise of a skill is always under the dual control (a) of a fixed code of rules (which may be innate or acquired) and (b) of a flexible strategy, guided by environmental pointers-the “lie of the land.”

    English heritage? Sorry? This man didn't have an ounce of white blood in him since everyone seems to forget he was Persian-Indian. He wasn't born in England, he was born in Africa. He didn't even grow up in England, he grew up in India until he was 17 or 18. Am I missing something? But what English heritage? Why do we never honour anything about what he actually was? Everyone seems to just ignore it.
