Freddie has made me so happy in so many ways. I am now 73 years and I am still so in love with this man,for so many reasons.,he will always be number one for me!
Wow the end of the interview hit me hard. I'm teared up about how he says that he wants to make people happy with his music and put a smile on a sour face. Now almost 30 years after his death, this is exactly what his music does to me. And I wasn't even around when he died just yet. I will never get over the fact that I missed him.
To my heart Freddie is still alive, living happily where ever he loves and travels with his mates. One day I will love to meet him. Freddie lives, in my heart, always!
He sounded so happy while he was talking about his relationship. By the way. He sound so calm. So smart! He seemed to know everything he was saying. In 1987. He already knew he was infected. And to the question about his sexual life. He said he learned an hard lesson. He was probably referring to his illness. But he sounded so happy here.
Freddie was love. In every form and every way. He had a great (to say the least) heart and he's my inspiration every single day to be a better person. Who wants to live forever anyway, right Freddie? You're alive in all queenie hearts forever..x
"Nobody's given it to me dear, i've earned it." Too bloody right. In front of 80,000, 150,000, 300,000 giving them the best show they've ever seen night after night. Too bloody right dear.
FREDDIE you made and you still make a billions of people glad, and i'm one of them, We still love you FREDDIE, FOREVER till the end of the world, and I mean it.
When he said he lived to make others happy only if for 30 min, he could never have predicted how we would still be loving him so in 2013 and beyond! Out of Freddies vision was born QUEEN, and his performing and voice/singing was the icing! I I introduced it to my oldest children now 31 and 33 and my youngest children now 11 and 8! Freddie and the music of Queen will live and be loved for generations to come. As long as I live I shall love you and carry you and your music in my ♡ dear Freddie!
Nurse Kathy I just listened to this and cried and smiled. I am 62 and followed Queen since High School. He made me smile so many times in my life. I love is YEAAA, that swipe of the arm and his other signature moves. Just last week I started introducing Freddie to my grandson age 10. He was familiar with the stadium songs but we started talking music. This is one thing I will have in common with my grandson when I am 70, 80, and maybe 90. I have Freddie to thank.his timeless music and theatrics have lived for generations, we are proof.. Love the man
I could listen to freddie talking for hours! He sound so relaxed here. Anyway it still breaks my heart when he says "i learned an hard lesson" we love and miss you freddie!
This is sad and comforting at the same time. He definitely knew but he seemed at peace with himself and I'm glad to hear him say he was okay with dying young. He's immortal through music, anyway
I'm so glad Freddie lived life to the fullest while he was here! His true fans will be waiting to meet him on the other side... If there is a rock n' roll heaven Freddie is the King and Queen! What a beautiful human being he was. The world needs more people like Freddie in it now!!
I only discovered Queen and Freddie like, two or three days ago. And I think it's safe to say I love him. He is so honest and straightforward. He has no regrets and he seems to know everything he is saying. Such a shame he died at 45, neh? We always lose the good ones young.
carol keating that is absolutly True, but if you look up on The internet, there are a few Pictures with Freddie and jim. But it is True, that many Fans treat Jim, as if he Never had existed. I Think that is absolutly unbelieveable sad. He would have deserved so much Better, cause he was The One who Made Freddie Happy. And we should be grateful for that.
Freddie - Charming, funny, and charismatic as always, being incredibly intelligent and articulate, and whole-heartedly celebrating his life, all while making some very obvious allusions to the fact that he knows full well he'll be dead in a few years. If we could bottle this man's bravery...
What a nice and decent man Freddie really was, the end bit when he said he just wants to make people happy. He certainly did that for the world. Thanks Freddie for making us all happy!!!
Freddy knew he had aids in this interview. That's why he was so confident that he'd be dead long before turning 70. He also wanted to convey here that he's not having sex anymore. Sort of a confession. He didn't spend much time with his family. His fortune should have been split in 4 parts. 50% parents, 25% and 25% his sister and Mary. Sad ending.
Freddie Mercury was much more than a rock star. Genius, it was! Charismatic individuality, beautiful man! Excellent, kind man! Still, he was humble and shy. Great loss of early death!
5:00 aids conversation... he definitely knew by this point what his prognosis was. I stopped having sex I will be gone long before 70... I think he was hinting that he had it.
FM sounds very optimistic & upbeat about his future. That being said. When the interviewer asked FM about Aids;@5:12 FM states that he had "learned a very hard lesson". Not sure if FM was alluding to his illness or if he was just stating that he had become more cautious, responsible & selectively about his sex life. Either way, FM u will NEVER be 4GOTTEN. U r the GREATEST vocalist in the WORLD!!!!
It was so great that Freddie and Jim found each other...for every pot there is a lid....they were together until the very end...Freddie and Jim R.I.P.❤
Jim said otherwise in in interview 6 years after Freddie pasted. He said this after some bad press so in this interview he was trying to keep people from thinking he might be HIV positive. Saying he was monogamous, etc. Jim said he was pressuring also Freddie to wear his ring and so on but Freddie didn't want to. Jim said they were over (and it had only been a sexual thing between them) in 87 afterwhich he stayed on as gardener. He also said his tel-all book wasn't truthful. Freddie was bi but a lot of the guys were abusive. Jim was one of them, as he admitted.
FREDDIE, YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE. YOU GIVE ME HAPPINESS EVERYITIMEI SEE YOU AND HEAR YOUR VOICE. YOU LIVE IN MY HEART AND I TAKE YOU WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO. TILL I SEE YOU AGAIN, REMEMBER I STILL LOVE YOU, DEAR. FOREVER.
He knew he wouldn't have lived to be 70, he knew he had AIDS at this time, but it seems the interviewer didn't?? But it seems like he did when he asked about AIDS and Freddie said he learned a hard lesson
Freddie did know by this time that he had AIDS, but this interview was conducted four or five months after he got his diagnosis. During this time he hadn't even told his family or the band that he was sick. I think he only told a handful of people, such as Mary Austin, Jim Hutton, Jim Beach, and a few others, and they all kept it a secret. There'd been persistent rumors for years beforehand in the tabloids about Freddie being sick (even before Freddie himself realized he was sick), which is probably why David Wigg asked about it.
Freddie was tested & informed he was HIV positive sometime in 1987, but IDK what time-of-year that was; and the info here does not say when in 1987 the interview was recorded... So, he may or may not have been diagnosed yet when he was discussing the topic here.
@@marciebulsaraorcutt he was diagnosed and informed he had AIDS in 87, he’d probably been positive for HIV as far back as the late 70s early 80s before there was reliable testing for it, nobody even knew what it was when freddie first contracted it I’d guess, he was incredibly unlucky, had he contracted the virus a few years later he may still be alive
Freddie mercury just simply the best and the best singer in the world and queen are the best band in the world God bless you Freddie we all miss you and still love you
Love this interview he was such a funny person and knew his time was limited what a nice person he was as simple as that.He was a musical Genius his death was such a waste of a great talent.Anyone who listens to it must see that his ashes are buried in Logan Place.Notice when he asks him about been 70 how he answers at about 8.16 RIP YA LEGEND
Freddie thank you for your music! This interview was done when I was barely 18 and now, I am 48 and still listening to you! Your voice soothes me, even if you are just talking! Sometimes I wonder what it's like if you are still here and attending all the music awards night with the band and sings your famous songs. Back in the days when technology was limited, you were able to give your audience the best theatrical shows how much more in this day and age if you are still with us. Your voice and your songs will live forever!
She isn´t Elaine Paige she is Freddie´s great love Mary Austin,their relationship lastet 6 years,in the early 70´s,later they become friends untill his dead in 1991!
Do you know how many times he's made me smile? MORE than half an hour awwhh I want to cry and its the 21 years today without him :'( he's made me happy IMMENSELY love you sweetheart
sdseals2076 AIDS can cause dementia. It effects different patients in different ways. My nephew died of AIDS and it hit his brain. The infection encephalitis attacked his brain. At first he lost control of his hands and had trouble writing. Closer to the end of his life he was very childlike and didn't understand much of what was going on around him. In his final days he was bedridden and unable to communicate at all. I'm Going Slightly Mad could have been written about dementia Fred feared.
I believe I'm Going Slightly Mad was about the awful physical effects of the then current AIDS treatments Freddie was enduring. He was lucid to the end, even requesting on the day he died to be helped around his home to look at all the artwork he purchased.
when I first saw him on Midnight Special with Wildman Jack and I thought he was the best thing I ever saw or heard in my life - I was truly in awe of him and his music and. RIP Freddie
Totally agree, I saw queen at Wembley in 1977, and as far as I am concerened they were worth every penny it cost me to come down from Glasgow for the weekend, ticket and accomodation. I would give anything to have that experiance again.
Great interview See how he starts it on about Mr Hutton he wanted this to be a message to him to.I find this so powerful as he knew he was goin to die n was so funny.Forget all his money etc n who he was i would just have loved to hav meet him such a lovely person id say his ashes are buried in Logan place as he says that more less in the interview.Also he says ive worked for it n ive paid for it.Love the bit where he says if i want a pyramid in kennington i will hav one.A True Musical Genius
omg this spell check put Wildman Jack but I meant Wolfman Jack. on the Midnight Special program that came on the tv around the mid 70's and that's where I saw Freddie for the first time and He was it for me,,,,, nobody else came close to his style,Grace,showmanship etc.....your fan forever Freddie RIP
This is the most down to earth interview I have ever heard him do. He is content inside himself and with who he is. He wants to take all of his objects with him to the grave like an Egyptian Pharoah.
Freddie searched for normalcy. It must have been most difficult to come off the stage where you are idolized then come to quiet. How incredible he is to this day.
Freddie.....so real.....so intelligent,....so captivating. You are loved for the endearing person you were! So unique and so beautiful! We still love you!
fantastic singer. 4 octaves unified with extreme clarity, rainbow hue, ruggedly aggressive approach, composer. I've only been dedicating my life to music for a few years and feel lucky to see through a placental view where only fertile inspirational ground lies.
Such sweetness, a dear man. Happy I learned of the DeNero produced 'Mercury'. It intreigued me & revisited Queen, Freddie, watching documentaries, listening to 86/85 Live Aid, other songs I love.Adore him. I saw him when I was young, say 13/14 in Chicago and loved him as a singer and performer and musician.He is much more, so kind, brave, BEST singer/rocker/songwriter, overall performer and I was lucky to see the best of the best rock groups. Freddie, Brian, Roger & John are the BEST band ever.
This would have been September '87 and that same year he told Montserrat Caballé he was poorly and wouldnt be strong forever..so at the time of the interview i would imagine he would have know time was limited...sadly
GOOD POST I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN THEM NEVER KNEW HE WAS SUCH A FUNNY PERSON OFF STAGE LOVE THE PIECE WHERE SAYS ABOUT BUILDING THE PYRAMID IN KENSINGTON IF HE WANTED TO
Freddie,si mi hai fatto felice con la tua musica,mai noioso,la tua risata è contagiosa, nonostante fossi malato non lo hai fatto pesare uomo coraggioso. Spero di incontrarti in un' altra dimensione,per ora ti ascolto fino alla fine. Ti mando un bacio da qui ovunque tu sia.💋☀️💖
A while back my husband came in the house and said " well our sons are out in the driveway imitating Freddie Mercury (mainly the 11 yo) and Queen and rocking out to We will Rock You, Kathy!" I said "well... it could be much much worse honey!"
thanks for this upload it is so good to here Freddie speak of his relationship with Jim Hutton and be content statisfied don't we all want a relationship where we are happy content and do not b0need tp0o try so hard to live up to our own "press"
I agree. I'm happy that Freddie finally found happiness after searching for it for years, but it's heartbreaking that he only had six years to enjoy it. But I'm honestly surprised by how many people believe that Freddie ISN'T talking about Jim in this interview. Never mind that later documentaries directly link this interview to Jim. I would think that if Freddie wasn't talking about Jim that David Wigg wouldn't have allowed his interview tapes to be used out of context like that. But I guess some people don't want to accept the fact that Freddie found happiness with another man.
Jim was HIV-positive and Freddie knew this. Having HIV/AIDS at that point was a death sentence. So why would Freddie leave any part of his estate or royalty sharings to someone he probably thought would be dead 4-5 years after he died? Freddie wouldn't have known that after he died modern medicine would finally get HIV/AIDS treatments right and that Jim's life would be extended by 18 years.
Went crazy? What are you talking about? Freddie left Jim _more_ money than Jim was expecting. And Jim wasn't pissed about not inheriting Garden Lodge, he was pissed because he felt he was mistreated in the aftermath of Freddie's death. He, along with Peter and Joe, were treated like they were squatters after everything they went through with Freddie and were kicked out of a home they'd made with Freddie. Jim ended up living in the house in Ireland that Freddie had encouraged him to build.
What is Cottage Grove? Are you referring to Garden Lodge? If so, then according to both Jim and Peter Freestone Freddie intended on Jim living at Garden Lodge if he so wished. He didn't put it into his will because he didn't see the need -- I guess he assumed Mary would allow Jim to live there. However since this wasn't stated in the will they were all kicked out. Jim, Peter, and Joe, three men who were there for Freddie taking care of him right to the end. You assume that Freddie was essentially discarding Jim after he died just because he left Jim an inheritance and not any part of his estate. But if Jim was as awful as you believe him to be, then Freddie wouldn't have left him anything at all. But we don't know why Freddie wrote his will the way he did. But there is no denying the fact that he was happy in the final years of his life after being miserable for so long.
From the books I read and interviews I have seen Jim got plenty from Freddie. He was on the payroll, lived with Freddie, Freddie gave him money to build that house in Scotland and Jim pissed the money away so Freddie gave him more. Finally he built the house. He wouldn't leave Garden Lodge for many manty months after Freddie's passing. Mary had to evict them AND Jim and 2 friends took alot of things from the house upon leaving. Not saying Jim didn't care but he seemed to take & take, entitled.
nothing better explains us as our hidden passions -called as sins ..being so extremely powerful and macho at scene and contrarily in life being so gay person ..that is a biggest talent to disguise .but aren't we applause to actors who earns hearts and million of fortune playing person mostly they never met in life ? we like to play and disguise .carrying masks in most of life time ..so that we are ..that was fred ...rest in peace great pretender
I can proove that Freddie speaks Not about Jim at the beginning. That's easy. Freddie says, his relationship is calm, understanding, tranquil. Not stormy. But Jim wrote in his book that their relationship is as vulcano, fool of explosions and conflicts. So this discription has such a difference, see? So I don't believe Jim. He is a lier, even video in the bath on youtube doesn't proove anything, becouse in the end Freddie says "go away everybody, i want to come out". So Jim was only staff... But he wanted money. so now everybody knows who is Jim etc - this is marketing. I think Freddie tells about his real love. Who is she? I don't know. May be Barbara, may be not.
I've read the book Jim wrote and they sometimes had disagreement.That's not the same as explosions and conflicts. And Freddie sang I want to be loved by you in the bath and looked at Jim.
I wish he was asked the 70s question before he was diagnosed so that we could know his true desires and ideas. I wish we could know what he wanted from life in the future.
Freddie has made me so happy in so many ways. I am now 73 years and I am still so in love with this man,for so many reasons.,he will always be number one for me!
I’ve been a fan since i was 11. I’m now 59 and i loved him then and i love him more now.
Exactly how I feel word for word only I am 65!
I'm 70 yrs old TODAY, been with my husband 54 yrs and will ALWAYS LOVE FREDDIE!!!
Wow the end of the interview hit me hard. I'm teared up about how he says that he wants to make people happy with his music and put a smile on a sour face. Now almost 30 years after his death, this is exactly what his music does to me. And I wasn't even around when he died just yet. I will never get over the fact that I missed him.
I was only 4 when he died and I wish so much I had had a chance to see him perform live,would give my last money for the ticket
I am so happy he found Jim and he had seven or eight wonderful years with him Freddy rest in peace and say hi to Jim
To my heart Freddie is still alive, living happily where ever he loves and travels with his mates. One day I will love to meet him. Freddie lives, in my heart, always!
I have been in love with this man since 1973. Once you love him you’ll never get over it.

Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie 🤩❤️

I wish you'd lived to 70 Freddie, 100, even.
If I want a pyramid in Kensington, if I can afford it I'll have it". Great answer
Listen to his laugh. Sounds like my uncle!!!!
a great artist, a great man, he did live a full life and made millions happy.

Lovely Interview!
@Amanda P, I read that when he first grew the mustache, women at Queen concerts would throw cans of shaving cream and razors at the stage LOL
Thats true, also remember those were the times in which his look was similar to SM gay leather men from St Francisco.
He sounds really sorta scared when the AIDS question came up... you can hear it... RIP.
Queen music makes me happy, so you've done your bit Freddie :)
I love him and how honest he was, this to me is one of his many attribues. I really love his music and I remember when I first

This is the most down to earth interview I have ever heard him do. He is content inside himself and with who he is. He wants to take all of his objects with him to the grave like an Egyptian Pharoah.
Freddie had the greatest laugh ever.
Freddie searched for normalcy. It must have been most difficult to come off the stage where you are idolized then come to quiet. How incredible he is to this day.
I simply enjoyed this conversation and the contents thereof, endears me evermore to Freddie..... I love you Freddie. You are always in my heart :)
Funny that Freddie said he wanted to be buried with all his stuff, every damn su. Yet he left the bulk of his estate to Mary.
Freddie.....so real.....so intelligent,....so captivating. You are loved for the endearing person you were! So unique and so beautiful! We still love you!
fantastic singer. 4 octaves unified with extreme clarity, rainbow hue, ruggedly aggressive approach, composer. I've only been dedicating my life to music for a few years and feel lucky to see through a placental view where only fertile inspirational ground lies.

Such sweetness, a dear man. Happy I learned of the DeNero produced 'Mercury'. It intreigued me & revisited Queen, Freddie, watching documentaries, listening to 86/85 Live Aid, other songs I love.Adore him. I saw him when I was young, say 13/14 in Chicago and loved him as a singer and performer and musician.He is much more, so kind, brave, BEST singer/rocker/songwriter, overall performer and I was lucky to see the best of the best rock groups. Freddie, Brian, Roger & John are the BEST band ever.
This would have been September '87 and that same year he told Montserrat Caballé he was poorly and wouldnt be strong forever..so at the time of the interview i would imagine he would have know time was limited...sadly
Still growing on people, even in 2018, real legends never die!
GOOD POST I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN THEM NEVER KNEW HE WAS SUCH A FUNNY PERSON OFF STAGE LOVE THE PIECE WHERE SAYS ABOUT BUILDING THE PYRAMID IN KENSINGTON IF HE WANTED TO
Freddie has such a beautiful speaking voice never mind a beautiful singing voice. He has just admitted he is dying in this interview:O
Yes because he knew that the interviewer wouldn't be smart enough to decode what he was actually saying .
Freddie,si mi hai fatto felice con la tua musica,mai noioso,la tua risata è contagiosa, nonostante fossi malato non lo hai fatto pesare uomo coraggioso. Spero di incontrarti in un' altra dimensione,per ora ti ascolto fino alla fine. Ti mando un bacio da qui ovunque tu sia.💋☀️💖
Freddie.
Ja te falaram que vc, e Lindo, e fofo.❤💛💛❤️❤️🥰
A while back my husband came in the house and said " well our sons are out in the driveway imitating Freddie Mercury (mainly the 11 yo) and Queen and rocking out to We will Rock You, Kathy!" I said "well... it could be much much worse honey!"
@opalescence0 Yes, here he meant Jim Hutton, his last lover from 85 till his death in 91.
Beast-Slayers Father i think he meant Barbara V or someone else
Мария Мальцева Surely Not!😑
This was a very candid interview,,,he was a man who was not afraid to die because he knew even then that he had lived his life to the fullest....
way to go Freedie RIP
"I still love you"
"Because I will be dead long before that."
*cringes*
Ilove 😚😍😘🥰🤩
thanks for this upload it is so good to here Freddie speak of his relationship with Jim Hutton and be content statisfied don't we all want a relationship where we are happy content and do not b0need tp0o try so hard to live up to our own "press"
I agree. I'm happy that Freddie finally found happiness after searching for it for years, but it's heartbreaking that he only had six years to enjoy it. But I'm honestly surprised by how many people believe that Freddie ISN'T talking about Jim in this interview. Never mind that later documentaries directly link this interview to Jim. I would think that if Freddie wasn't talking about Jim that David Wigg wouldn't have allowed his interview tapes to be used out of context like that. But I guess some people don't want to accept the fact that Freddie found happiness with another man.
Jim was HIV-positive and Freddie knew this. Having HIV/AIDS at that point was a death sentence. So why would Freddie leave any part of his estate or royalty sharings to someone he probably thought would be dead 4-5 years after he died? Freddie wouldn't have known that after he died modern medicine would finally get HIV/AIDS treatments right and that Jim's life would be extended by 18 years.
Went crazy? What are you talking about? Freddie left Jim _more_ money than Jim was expecting. And Jim wasn't pissed about not inheriting Garden Lodge, he was pissed because he felt he was mistreated in the aftermath of Freddie's death. He, along with Peter and Joe, were treated like they were squatters after everything they went through with Freddie and were kicked out of a home they'd made with Freddie. Jim ended up living in the house in Ireland that Freddie had encouraged him to build.
What is Cottage Grove? Are you referring to Garden Lodge? If so, then according to both Jim and Peter Freestone Freddie intended on Jim living at Garden Lodge if he so wished. He didn't put it into his will because he didn't see the need -- I guess he assumed Mary would allow Jim to live there. However since this wasn't stated in the will they were all kicked out. Jim, Peter, and Joe, three men who were there for Freddie taking care of him right to the end. You assume that Freddie was essentially discarding Jim after he died just because he left Jim an inheritance and not any part of his estate. But if Jim was as awful as you believe him to be, then Freddie wouldn't have left him anything at all. But we don't know why Freddie wrote his will the way he did. But there is no denying the fact that he was happy in the final years of his life after being miserable for so long.
From the books I read and interviews I have seen Jim got plenty from Freddie. He was on the payroll, lived with Freddie, Freddie gave him money to build that house in Scotland and Jim pissed the money away so Freddie gave him more. Finally he built the house. He wouldn't leave Garden Lodge for many manty months after Freddie's passing. Mary had to evict them AND Jim and 2 friends took alot of things from the house upon leaving. Not saying Jim didn't care but he seemed to take & take, entitled.
nothing better explains us as our hidden passions -called as sins ..being so extremely powerful and macho at scene and contrarily in life being so gay person ..that is a biggest talent to disguise .but aren't we applause to actors who earns hearts and million of fortune playing person mostly they never met in life ? we like to play and disguise .carrying masks in most of life time ..so that we are ..that was fred ...rest in peace great pretender
Very well spoken !

3.15 ..... then 8.15 he keeps saying it, so much courage :)
Is he talking about JIM HUDSON?
Jim Hutton, dear
@ Vegasgirl Yes he does.
4:53 the AIDS question
I can proove that Freddie speaks Not about Jim at the beginning. That's easy. Freddie says, his relationship is calm, understanding, tranquil. Not stormy. But Jim wrote in his book that their relationship is as vulcano, fool of explosions and conflicts. So this discription has such a difference, see? So I don't believe Jim. He is a lier, even video in the bath on youtube doesn't proove anything, becouse in the end Freddie says "go away everybody, i want to come out". So Jim was only staff... But he wanted money. so now everybody knows who is Jim etc - this is marketing. I think Freddie tells about his real love. Who is she? I don't know. May be Barbara, may be not.
Мария Мальцева freddie was real gay man deal with it
Jim was with him even before live aid. He was at the backstage. That time Freddie wasn't diagnosted with aids
I've read the book Jim wrote and they sometimes had disagreement.That's not the same as explosions and conflicts. And Freddie sang I want to be loved by you in the bath and looked at Jim.
9:15-9:25 I needed to hear that. R.I.P. Freddie. -3
❤ZOROASTRIAN KING❤
Love you always Freddie!
maybe not 70 but 45 is still to young
I never knew him--am just finding out about him--and I love him.
8:15 :/ he knew what's goin' on...
I wish he was asked the 70s question before he was diagnosed so that we could know his true desires and ideas. I wish we could know what he wanted from life in the future.
What’s the 70’s question?
@@lucioagelvis2134 He was asked how he imagined his life in his 70s or something like that
I'm lucky your music is still around..
