mandilambi Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It's exactly 10 minutes until Freddie's 16th anniversary and as there are so many Queen fans on this forum, I figured I would start a topic of celebration for him! Please join me in raising a glass to celebrate the life that he lived. I am sure tears will be shed tomorrow, as well as a lot of smiles will be put on faces. The most important part is to remember the phenominal human being that Freddie was and to be thankful for all the wonderful gifts that he gave to all of his fans. We miss you, darling, and admire you more and more with each day! Amanda PS. I still love you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika4Life13 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I never really knew who he was. I eman i knew who he was obviously but nothing about him. Anyone care to share a biography? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 He was the lead singer of Queen - his music and lyrics were out of this world! A truly amazing singer/musician/man. He contracted AIDS, which led to his death in 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika4Life13 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I mean. What is his nationality and stuff. Hmm I'll just wiki him. Nevermind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 He was born in Zanzibar and later moved to England with his family. But yeah, wiki is a good way to go! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonjourMika1990 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I can't really explain why I adore him, there was always this sweetness to him...and this defiance... I just think he was tremendous! Most importantly, he was very humble. I think he had a wife before he came out to her. The song "Love of my Life" is about her. oh and he had a cat named Delilah lol... I remember that fact:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Mary Austin was his girlfriend (or common-law wife lol) until about 1976-77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika4Life13 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Oh ok. is he gay? or is he both. or tri. is there even tri? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 There's some dispute as to whether or not he was gay or bi. Some people firmly believe he is one or the other. My personal opinion is that he was gay, while also having an extraordinary love for Mary that even they perhaps couldn't quite explain. Then again, that's just my opinion. He was great, regardless of his sexual orientation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelzy Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Love Freddie!!!!!!!!!!! There'll never be another one like him.. they can try.. but they won't succeed to his greatness.. that's all i wanted to say!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurygirl Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Oh ok. is he gay? or is he both. or tri. is there even tri? hahaha, no, I'm sure he was deffinately gay, but for a long time he had a wife and they really did love each other very much. But he couldn't pretend forever, because towards the end, from about 1975, he started having boyfriends, so he eventually told Mary that he was gay. It's confusing... but yeah. To Freddie: You are the most beautiful man I have ever seen, in every aspect. You can never be replaced by anybody, ever, and for that you will always be in our hearts. I love you.

Finkster Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I lived in denial for a few years as to whether or not he was gay or not. But I'm pretty sure he was gay. Have you all read Mercury and Me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandilambi Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've read Mercury and Me. Pretty good book. Some bits I liked, some bits I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 mercurygirl, it was written by Jim Hutton - Freddie's long-time partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finkster Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 No....What is it? (apart from a book) It's about Freddie and Jim's love life, and Freddie's last years. I never read it. I can never seem to find it...but I've heard it was pretty graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurygirl Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Ah! Ok! Thanks! I'm sorry, I'm so naive about Queen/Freddie memorablia etc etc etc. We never get them here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 I can remember two bits that I thought were graphic (as well as a little unnecessary). The last couple of chapters were horrible. You really got an understanding of what Freddie's last days were like. It took me forever to get through it as I was so tearful! Not too fond of his mentionings of Mary, though it's difficult to know who to believe when you're not there experiencing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finkster Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I know. I think I read something online that really explained Freddie's last few months...I was balling. Anything like that makes me a bit teary eyed, though. My uncle also died from AIDS a few years ago. I hate to think of anyone suffering the way those people do. Which is why I despise when ignorant kids make jokes and think AIDS and other illnesses like cancer and whatnot are funny. Thery're not funny. They're real and the suffering those people have to endure is really dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finkster Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 xD Yep, it's nearly 2 AM. Just two more minutes. I should probably get to bed soon myself. I have a baby shower tomorrow. But that wont be happening soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
