Crazy Little Thing Called Love - apparently thought of by Freddie in the bath, jumped out with just a towel on and wrote it in 10 minutes

Roger Taylor's drumming on It's a Kinda Magic - superb.


Oh for July 9th 1986 at St James' Park.


"These were the days of our lives"

See more...

I've also just been watching this.

I always cry when he says "I Love You" at the end of These are the Days of Our Lives.


Oh for August 9th, 1986. I was there on my own with an estimated 120,00 other people. 😊
Little did we know it would be his last tour. 😔

Can’t describe the pain DH and I felt when Freddie died, DH still cries (and this is a man who never shows emotion) when he sees the last videos and footage such as the documentary on BBC2 this evening.

So sad to think that he died so young and the world lost his talent too soon.

Amazing that science has now advanced so much that people who have AIDS can now live long and full lives. So sad to see the ignorance and homophobia back when Freddie died, not only from the public and press but from governments especially in the UK and the US 😔

Amazing Freddie
You can never be replaced ❤️
