Some fun facts: this song was written by brian (guitarist) and it was kind of written about the situation Freddie was in, he was battling AIDS and he was very weak, could barely stand but always went to the studio until the end. Brian was scared that he could not do it but he said "I'll fucking do it darling" took a shot of vodka and nailed it in one take. This was just a put together of their videos after Freddie passed in November 24 of 1991. You should listen to mother love, is part of their last album with Freddie, is the last song Freddie ever recorded, couldnt be finished. Fred said he was very tired but sadly passed away so the last verse was sang by Brian. It was recorded a few months before he passed and even though he couldn't even breath well or do much anymore, they (the band) had to go to Freddie's home to write and record because freddie just cared about his music, he kept telling Brian "write me lyrics , write" and he nailed this too. Also, you should watch Live Aid, queen stole the show there, over 70,000 at Wembley and more than 100,000 watching including at JFK stadium in Philadelphia. The best artists were there , queen was a surprise since they got in last minute but Elton john told Freddie "you bastards stole the show" and after it some of them didnt even want to go on stage because they couldnt top that. It is declared the best performance in rock history. Hope you enjoy this info, love your videos, happy holidays!
And Brian was worried that the notes were going to be too much for Freddie because he was so ill and offered to rewrite the notes to be less strenuous and Brian said, Freddie downed a vodka and said "Ill fucking do it darling" and this track was done in one take...hit every note.
@@kelleeholmes9448 I think the "one take" was the "My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies Fairy tales of yesterday, grow but never die I can fly, my friends" that verse was recorded in one take but freddie didn't sing the entire song in one take
Inside my heart is breaking, my make up may be flaking but my smile still stays on....he knew already how sick he was....RIP my courageous and unique Freddie...
Brian wrote this, although it’s credited to the band. According to Brian: When it was time to record the track (the show must go on), Freddie could barely stand. ‘I said, “Fred, I don’t know if this is going to be possible to sing,”’ Brian told Rolling Stone. And he went, “I’ll fucking do it, darling” -vodka down -and went in and killed it.’ Freddie would not talk about his illness, but he was putting it out there in the music. ‘Songs like “The Show Must Go On”, in my case, or “These Are the Days of Our Lives’, in Roger’s case, were things that we gave to Freddie as a way of him working through stuff with us,’ said Brian. ‘The Show Must Go On’ did not stint on the drama or the directness of its message.
Freddie and Queen recorded this absolutely beautiful song a mere nine months before Freddie tragically passed away. The song is about his battle with AIDS and his refusal to stop singing and recording no matter how much he hurt or was sick. Freddie was a fantastic singer and songwriter and is deeply missed by all of his fans. As for his videos, watch all of them lol. Queen did not come out with a bad song, all of them are magnificent. RIP Freddie Mercury!!!
Queen is my favourite band, I love so many of their song, yet this one is and always will be my favourite. It's like the culmination of their entire career for me and it's so incredibly powerful and real, soaked in real pain and strength and power of will... It hits me where it hurts every time, man
What a banger. What a way to say goodbye. Everything Queen could do is in that song 🔥 "Innuendo" is another amazing song that I hope you'll discover (about life, religion, faith, if there is a God, can we achieve what we want, are we free?) 🔥 It's like the dark brother of this here and Bohemian Rhapsody!
This is one of the last couple videos they did when Freddie was sick. That's why it was clips from other videos. He was a amazingly strong man and kept going until he couldn't. #Challenge My Melancholy Blues. & Innuendo
He was so sick an yet he gave yet another outstanding performance. . Truly amazing an inspirational. .love him the whole band amazing. .an you are amazing thanku. .love an god bless x
Challenge White Man lyric video. Show Must Go On is one of the most meaningful songs Queen ever recorded. Recorded when he was so weak he was having to sit propped up on the desk to sing. His attitude to facing death and one of his best vocal performances
You may not 'bang' to all the different genres Queen produced, but EVERY live performance IS a banger. #Challenge: Go back to the beginning: Keep Yourself Alive, Stone Cold Crazy, Ogre Battle, Dragon Attack (live Montreal)
The cross dressing and “cow” is from “I Want to Break Free” Written by bassist John Deacon about women’s liberation. Drummer Roger Taylor thought up the idea of dressing in drag to parody a very popular British show called “Coronation Street”. Freddie dancing with the Royal Ballet. MTV banned it in the US because they were a bunch of prudes who didn’t get the joke. It’s especially great live (as are 90% of their songs) because they strongly believed in crowd participation. Freddie is quoted as saying that they were entertainers, otherwise “We could just put out cardboard cutouts and play the track”.
Totally amazing! With his full blown aids, Freddie just told the world with this song "screw it", he was going to keep making music till he dropped! The music videos that were montaged from this that are real bangers are Princes of the universe, headlong, I want it all, Innuendo, Breakthru, I want to break free and one vision.
Who Wants to Live Forever - one of the most beautiful songs ever. And Hammer to Fall, totally underrated. Loved Queen's performance of it at Live Aid in '85 and at Wembley in '86.
Scott B yesss❤️❤️ i’m in love with that Spanish guitar doing the flamenco and then Brian May comes in with the rock version on his lead guitar and it’s awesome and what a beautiful soul.
You have to watch Queen - No one but you. Its such a sad song im crying every time hearing it. Brian May (the guitarist), Roger Taylor (The Drummer) and John Deacon (The bassist) sang that song to Freddie 5 years after his death. Brian May wrote it for him i believe

They deserve their own genre!
The best of their best. The band supporting FM in his illness. Challenge: "The Miracle" is freddie's positivity in knowing the end was closer and great video too. You will laugh Bwahaha!
When Freddy died, this title was the last one he recorded... To me, this song will always me cry... It makes me remember the bad new on TV... Freddy, we all miss you 😔🙏
Banger video.... SO hard! But you absolutely HAVE TO see The Miracle! That video is fire!!! There are little kid versions of each band member and the kids that plays Freddie is amazing!
Can you also try to react to white queen a night at the Odeon hammersmith 1975. I can pretty much guarantee you haven’t heard this song. Beautiful and Freddie’s vocals are on point!! Just all around great live performance!
Deborah Morgan I agree with you, Stone cold crazy is a "must see". I love Freddie's 70's looks, he was so flamboyant, thanks for adding don't mock his appearance, it hurts me every time someone does.
Love this song one of my favourites ,so beautiful, give a listen to I want it all, the miracle video is brilliant but words amazing ,and the invisible man bass line is great , good luck from Liverpool uk
Its one of my favourites aswel ... One of the last songs he recorded before dying from aids .. One of the sadest is 'those were the days' when you realise we were losing the best rock singer in history ... Love your reactions ✌✌
CHALLENGE: "Who Wants To Live Forever?" (Original music video) Queen did the soundtrack for the Highlander movie. But knowing Freddie's sad ending, the song takes on a new meaning. #CHALLENGE
I'm old enough to be your Grandma (73) and a die-hard, stone-cold Queen fan. I would love to see you do a reaction to their song, "I Want To Be Free". Please and thank you. God bless.
Holla, this was the last song ever recorded and video recorded by Freddie. Band members said Freddy said he was sick and didn’t want to sing or do the video. Freddy took his pain meds and told the band F’ it, one chance and that is it, that’s all I have. The recorded the opening and the song, Freddy passed away the next day of AID’s. FYI the guitar player Brian May holds a PHD in Physics, no lie. They all formed the band to pay for their degrees!’
You GOT it . Fire. For me, it's the greatest song ever recorded, by Queen or anyone else. Yeah, GOAT #1. It crushes me every time I hear it, in the best way. I feel the pain of Freddie's untimely demise. I feel his strength, his struggle, and his downfall, and it's heartbreaking. THAT'S great art. Big thumbs up, bro'.
My favourite clip from the show must go on video is headlong where they're all together in the studio breakthru where they're on the train and the miracle where it has the band but there are kids in it too
Challenge Accepted. I can 100% guarantee you have never heard "Cool Cat" by Queen. It's a song Queen fans either like or dislike. I love it. I think you will too.
If you want a video of Queen’s that’s great try “it’s a miracle”. A lot of queens later videos didn’t have Freddie in them because he was already deceased. They released some music after Freddie was gone.
Mother love- It was the last song they ever made before Freddie died from aids. Half way through the voices change. When the voices change Brian (the guitarist) takes over because Freddie has then died. Freddie said he didn’t feel well and had to go home and that he would finish it the next day. Sadly he never came back and he fell into a coma not long after and passed away.
"One Vision" - the making of the longest version - it is hilarious . 'I want to break free' , 'Break thru' , I'm going slightly mad' ' , 'Princes of the Universe', 'Scandal' , for a start - but I have not read all the comments - it's long ago that you requested.
Sorry but no, you're incorrect on both counts. It wasn't his last song. It wasn't even the last video, they made I'm Going Slightly Mad and These are the Days of our Lives after this. The last song he ever recorded was Mother Love and Brian had to finish it for him. And he *didn't* record this whole song in one take. That's just a myth people keep perpetuating.
Freddie was very very ill when he recorded this. He could barely stand. Brian, the guitarist, asked if he was able to sing it and Freddie said"I'll fucking do it, darling" and downed some vodka and just killed it. Brian wrote it from Freddie's perspective. Next time you listen to it pay attention to the lyrics 👍🏻 One of my favorite Queen songs. Freddie being so ill at this point is why they did the video like this too. React to Luve Aid. And Another One Bites The Dust live from Wembley ruclips.net/video/HnCgN4knr0Y/видео.html And check out the live version of Bohemian Rhapsody, also from Wembley ruclips.net/video/oozJH6jSr2U/видео.html
Story goes Freddie turned up at the studio weeks before his death to record this, Brian May took one look at him and thought he was too ill to perform it and told Freddie so, Freddie downed a shot of Vodka, said “Fucking watch me darling” and did this in one take, a great talent and showman sadly missed.
#Challenge “Mother Love”, lyric video. The last song Freddie recorded, but was too sick to sing the final verse (Brian sings it) The official version is paired up with some stupid sci-fi video. It really distracts you from the heartbreaking song.
Freddie dressed as a woman is from the video for “I Want to Break Free” which was banned in the US cause they thought it just some guys in drag and it was but they were doing a spoof on an English soap opera called Coronation Street.
By the time Freddie sing the song he was so ill with AIDs that he can barely stand with more than a few minutes when he came to do the song Brian was worried that he couldn't hit the notes Freddy through back a couple of shots of vodka and told Brian I'll fucking do it darling and killed it in one take. The man worked until he could not work anymore I true legend rest in peace Freddie you will never be forgotten.
which videos are great hmmmm......all of them. but if you listen to I Want to Break Free - you will see the 'cow'. Freddie had a love for ballet, thats why he is dressed like that. keep on rocking!!
Please react to Hammer to Fall, Don't stop me now, One Year of love, & The Game! Btw: you ought to check out the official video of "Show Must Go On!" The members of the band are riding on train tracks & crashing through tunnels while they are singing it! It is awesome!
Innuendo is my favorite album, but probably a close second is "Its a Kind of Magic" which is more or less the soundtrack album to the movie Highlander. Two of my favorite Queen music videos are off this album: the title track (Its a Kind of Magic) and "Princes of the Universe" (mostly movie clips, but creatively intertwined with shots of the band). And of course the song "Who Wants to Live Forever" is also on this album which is a classic. If you really want to see how good of a vocal range Freddie had, check out his solo project with an OPERA SINGER montserrat caballe. They did a whole album of half rock half opera songs called "Barcelona".
this was studio only, using vids only because Freddie was so sick - after ~1988 they stopped performing and only did studio, there's a bunch of vids like this one. Freddie kept recording literally until he couldn't even walk or see.
The sad thing is that this song was released in October 19 91 and Freddie Mercury died The very next month! There had been some rumors that Freddie Mercury was sick and the tabloid said that he had aids blah blah blah but they didn’t have any proof of anything. He did look thin in January or February 1990 and that was his last public appearance aside from going to the doctor. There was a grainy photograph of Freddie Mercury walking with his doctor outside on the sidewalk and the tabloids posted how ill he looked and it was not a good picture but he didn’t look sick. He really looked exhausted. Later that year in 1998 they were given another Award for being one of the greatest contributions to British music award and Freddy was wearing a white blue suit and this beautiful white scarf and he had a freshly shaven face and no mustache. He really didn’t look any different than he did three or four months before but he wore a navy blue suit and had a little bit of a beard but he was still about the same weight. That light blue suit and shaven face just made him look thinner and that’s when people started talking more. Many other people in 1989 and 1990 didn’t think anything about queen not touring because they were in their 40s and they had plenty of money and didn’t need to tour and as long as they were hearing the hits and making number one albums, most people didn’t think that anybody was ill- even Freddie Mercury. Honestly when I saw him at that British awards ceremony when he was wearing that white roly suit I figured he had cancer. They went to Montreux to do their last album together. “innuendo “.. that way they were away from the British press. They got the Album done but it took like a year to finish it because it Friday having aids and his health was deteriorating. They released the miracle which was this beautiful video around March 1989 and then they released I want it all and an awesome song and video in May 1989. I thought Freddy looked fine but he had a little bit of a beard and not the big fluffy mustache that he used to have. He looks good even though he did look like he was down about 10 or15 pounds. Freddie was the skinny guy in the 1970s so I didn’t think anything about it. He told the band he had aids after they finished doing the miracle album about August 1989 and that was about the same time he told Mary the truth. He never said anything to his parents and he told his sister about a year before he died. That’s when his parents found out but he never told his parents that he was bisexual or gay or anything. Mary Austin who had been his girlfriend and fiancé for six years said that Fred‘s parents were conservative Zoroastrians, but she knew that they would’ve loved him and accepted him the way he was. His mom, Jer, was videoed before her death in 2002 or three and she said that they were always proud of Freddy and then he loved and respected them so much but that she kind of knew- like she kind of knew he was gay but she wasn’t sure. And she said that she didn’t think about it at all in the 70s but she did by the 80s. They just never discussed it because Freddy was always so respectful and kind to them and so very generous. He was generous to people that used him. Mary would call them out on their bullshit and she would tell Freddie, “ those people don’t care about you”. She told him that those people were using him for his status and his gifts and his money! She called power to truth and you know he started acting funny in 1975 and they didn’t break up until 1976 or late in 1976. He was cheating on her for a year and a half or almost 2 years. He was seeing some guy named David Mimms & he got an apartment with David in London away from the house he had with Mary and Mary said he was coming in late at night. He wasn’t acting right and they hadn’t been together physically in so long and he wasn’t one with himself. She said finally one night he came home earlier and he just had to tell her and the reason why is because his boyfriend David gave him an ultimatum to break up with her or he was leaving the relationship with Fred. Mary said that she was in the kitchen and Fred came into the kitchen and told her that he was sleeping with a man and Mary said she was so naïve that it took her a while to grasp it. She couldn’t believe that he had her food for so long but he told her he hadn’t been like that before 1975 and that was about the time Bohemian Rhapsody was being worked on but before it was released. So that’s how she knew he had been cheating on her for two years☺️. After he told her he had been sleeping with a man she looked right at him and she said, “ so.... you’re telling me you’re gay?” And she said he just gave her this big grin. She was like oh my God. She stayed in their house until the end of the year when he bought her an apartment right next-door right down the street from him and they remain friends very very close. Mary said that she was going through a lot of stuff herself and it wasn’t just Friday and some of it was her. He was just far more dismissive of her than she was of him. She said after that they broke up he was totally happy and at one with himself and she said it was so good to see him be like that again. They had always been close but they got to be much much closer and they were even like family and Marie was like the house mother. She would come over to the house to make sure everything was going OK with Freddy about every week and she was always checking out his friends and staff and she told him when somebody was using him. He was so charitable he would give away crap to anybody and when he’d have a party even pay for water and booze and drugs and he wasn’t into drugs so much but he definitely did drink but he was a lightweight so he couldn’t drink much😂😂😂
The song you should do is "I want it all". You had to have heard it (but didn't realize it was Queen) the "Drag" Freddie was "I Want to Break Free". Both worth doing.
When my family is in the car my dad hands my his phone I put on sunglasses from 4th of July and my sister and I take turns putting bands on the radio like the bands. Ac/dc,queen,arrow smith,black sabbath, Michel jackson, and more stuff from guardian of the galaxy soundtrack
Great reaction to a great song. One of their best, if not their best song. Cool that you immediately found out how great this song is. Lyrics go: "I'll soon be turning 'round the corner now", omg...
The scenes that show him with a beard were the last ones done. He had an aids related sarcoma on his face and grew the beard to hide it. He didn't announce his illness to the public until the day before he died.
Some fun facts: this song was written by brian (guitarist) and it was kind of written about the situation Freddie was in, he was battling AIDS and he was very weak, could barely stand but always went to the studio until the end.

The best artists were there , queen was a surprise since they got in last minute but Elton john told Freddie "you bastards stole the show" and after it some of them didnt even want to go on stage because they couldnt top that.

Challenge White Man lyric video. Show Must Go On is one of the most meaningful songs Queen ever recorded. Recorded when he was so weak he was having to sit propped up on the desk to sing. His attitude to facing death and one of his best vocal performances
The cross dressing is from 'I want to break free'. Excellent queen song.

Who Wants to Live Forever - one of the most beautiful songs ever. And Hammer to Fall, totally underrated. Loved Queen's performance of it at Live Aid in '85 and at Wembley in '86.
You need to listen to "Innuendo & Who wants to live forever" from Queen.

I feel the pain of Freddie's untimely demise. I feel his strength, his struggle, and his downfall, and it's heartbreaking. THAT'S great art. Big thumbs up, bro'.
8 months after this song was released, Freddie passed away.
My favourite clip from the show must go on video is headlong where they're all together in the studio breakthru where they're on the train and the miracle where it has the band but there are kids in it too
I love this track 🔥🔥 Great reaction

Challenge Accepted. I can 100% guarantee you have never heard "Cool Cat" by Queen. It's a song Queen fans either like or dislike. I love it. I think you will too.
One of my absolute faves! 🤗
YES! LOVE it!
Fans like or dislike it. Or like me, hate it. 😬.
If you want a video of Queen’s that’s great try “it’s a miracle”. A lot of queens later videos didn’t have Freddie in them because he was already deceased. They released some music after Freddie was gone.
Honey, they are ALL bangers!!
no one reacted to "it's a hard life" by queen yet. you should check it out - it's amazing, i love it!
Fire videos: "innuendo" & "It's a Hard Life"
Mother love-
It was the last song they ever made before Freddie died from aids. Half way through the voices change. When the voices change Brian (the guitarist) takes over because Freddie has then died. Freddie said he didn’t feel well and had to go home and that he would finish it the next day. Sadly he never came back and he fell into a coma not long after and passed away.
"One Vision" - the making of the longest version - it is hilarious . 'I want to break free' , 'Break thru' , I'm going slightly mad' ' , 'Princes of the Universe', 'Scandal' , for a start - but I have not read all the comments - it's long ago that you requested.
Live version of "Under pressure" - 1986 Wembley
Anyone who digs Freddie & Queen as much as I do is alright in my book! Subscribed!!
Hi my Friend, Greatings from Brazil.
This song was the last one recorded by Freddie.
It was recorded in only one take.
Sorry but no, you're incorrect on both counts. It wasn't his last song. It wasn't even the last video, they made I'm Going Slightly Mad and These are the Days of our Lives after this. The last song he ever recorded was Mother Love and Brian had to finish it for him.
And he *didn't* record this whole song in one take. That's just a myth people keep perpetuating.
he sings this song 6 weeks before he dies.....God bless your soul Freddie!
I love watching Millennials watch videos of our music and enjoy them
Freddie was very very ill when he recorded this. He could barely stand. Brian, the guitarist, asked if he was able to sing it and Freddie said"I'll fucking do it, darling" and downed some vodka and just killed it. Brian wrote it from Freddie's perspective. Next time you listen to it pay attention to the lyrics 👍🏻 One of my favorite Queen songs. Freddie being so ill at this point is why they did the video like this too. React to Luve Aid. And Another One Bites The Dust live from Wembley ruclips.net/video/HnCgN4knr0Y/видео.html And check out the live version of Bohemian Rhapsody, also from Wembley ruclips.net/video/oozJH6jSr2U/видео.html
Queen live at Wimbly Stadium about 130,000 in attendance! Great concert
Story goes Freddie turned up at the studio weeks before his death to record this, Brian May took one look at him and thought he was too ill to perform it and told Freddie so, Freddie downed a shot of Vodka, said “Fucking watch me darling” and did this in one take, a great talent and showman sadly missed.
Lmfao at the look you gave seeing Fred in drag 💗💗 Also #challenge Breakthru!! It’s a great song and fun video.
#Challenge “Mother Love”, lyric video.
The last song Freddie recorded, but was too sick to sing the final verse (Brian sings it) The official version is paired up with some stupid sci-fi video. It really distracts you from the heartbreaking song.
Hey Jude that vid is tragic. Do lyric vid please.

OGRE BATTLE, Live at the Rainbow, 1974
Freddie dressed as a woman is from the video for “I Want to Break Free” which was banned in the US cause they thought it just some guys in drag and it was but they were doing a spoof on an English soap opera called Coronation Street.
By the time Freddie sing the song he was so ill with AIDs that he can barely stand with more than a few minutes when he came to do the song Brian was worried that he couldn't hit the notes Freddy through back a couple of shots of vodka and told Brian I'll fucking do it darling and killed it in one take. The man worked until he could not work anymore I true legend rest in peace Freddie you will never be forgotten.
which videos are great hmmmm......all of them. but if you listen to I Want to Break Free - you will see the 'cow'. Freddie had a love for ballet, thats why he is dressed like that. keep on rocking!!
Cool reaction! Loved it.💥
All Queen songs r bangers. Love ur reactions. Keep it up.✌
Please react to Hammer to Fall,
Don't stop me now,
One Year of love, &
The Game! Btw: you ought to check out the official video of "Show Must Go On!" The members of the band are riding on train tracks & crashing
through tunnels while they are singing it! It is awesome!
Innuendo is my favorite album, but probably a close second is "Its a Kind of Magic" which is more or less the soundtrack album to the movie Highlander. Two of my favorite Queen music videos are off this album: the title track (Its a Kind of Magic) and "Princes of the Universe" (mostly movie clips, but creatively intertwined with shots of the band). And of course the song "Who Wants to Live Forever" is also on this album which is a classic. If you really want to see how good of a vocal range Freddie had, check out his solo project with an OPERA SINGER montserrat caballe. They did a whole album of half rock half opera songs called "Barcelona".
this was studio only, using vids only because Freddie was so sick - after ~1988 they stopped performing and only did studio, there's a bunch of vids like this one. Freddie kept recording literally until he couldn't even walk or see.
The sad thing is that this song was released in October 19 91 and Freddie Mercury died The very next month! There had been some rumors that Freddie Mercury was sick and the tabloid said that he had aids blah blah blah but they didn’t have any proof of anything. He did look thin in January or February 1990 and that was his last public appearance aside from going to the doctor. There was a grainy photograph of Freddie Mercury walking with his doctor outside on the sidewalk and the tabloids posted how ill he looked and it was not a good picture but he didn’t look sick. He really looked exhausted. Later that year in 1998 they were given another Award for being one of the greatest contributions to British music award and Freddy was wearing a white blue suit and this beautiful white scarf and he had a freshly shaven face and no mustache. He really didn’t look any different than he did three or four months before but he wore a navy blue suit and had a little bit of a beard but he was still about the same weight. That light blue suit and shaven face just made him look thinner and that’s when people started talking more. Many other people in 1989 and 1990 didn’t think anything about queen not touring because they were in their 40s and they had plenty of money and didn’t need to tour and as long as they were hearing the hits and making number one albums, most people didn’t think that anybody was ill- even Freddie Mercury. Honestly when I saw him at that British awards ceremony when he was wearing that white roly suit I figured he had cancer. They went to Montreux to do their last album together. “innuendo “.. that way they were away from the British press. They got the Album done but it took like a year to finish it because it Friday having aids and his health was deteriorating. They released the miracle which was this beautiful video around March 1989 and then they released I want it all and an awesome song and video in May 1989. I thought Freddy looked fine but he had a little bit of a beard and not the big fluffy mustache that he used to have. He looks good even though he did look like he was down about 10 or15 pounds. Freddie was the skinny guy in the 1970s so I didn’t think anything about it. He told the band he had aids after they finished doing the miracle album about August 1989 and that was about the same time he told Mary the truth. He never said anything to his parents and he told his sister about a year before he died. That’s when his parents found out but he never told his parents that he was bisexual or gay or anything. Mary Austin who had been his girlfriend and fiancé for six years said that Fred‘s parents were conservative Zoroastrians, but she knew that they would’ve loved him and accepted him the way he was. His mom, Jer, was videoed before her death in 2002 or three and she said that they were always proud of Freddy and then he loved and respected them so much but that she kind of knew- like she kind of knew he was gay but she wasn’t sure. And she said that she didn’t think about it at all in the 70s but she did by the 80s. They just never discussed it because Freddy was always so respectful and kind to them and so very generous. He was generous to people that used him. Mary would call them out on their bullshit and she would tell Freddie, “ those people don’t care about you”. She told him that those people were using him for his status and his gifts and his money! She called power to truth and you know he started acting funny in 1975 and they didn’t break up until 1976 or late in 1976. He was cheating on her for a year and a half or almost 2 years. He was seeing some guy named David Mimms & he got an apartment with David in London away from the house he had with Mary and Mary said he was coming in late at night. He wasn’t acting right and they hadn’t been together physically in so long and he wasn’t one with himself. She said finally one night he came home earlier and he just had to tell her and the reason why is because his boyfriend David gave him an ultimatum to break up with her or he was leaving the relationship with Fred. Mary said that she was in the kitchen and Fred came into the kitchen and told her that he was sleeping with a man and Mary said she was so naïve that it took her a while to grasp it. She couldn’t believe that he had her food for so long but he told her he hadn’t been like that before 1975 and that was about the time Bohemian Rhapsody was being worked on but before it was released. So that’s how she knew he had been cheating on her for two years☺️. After he told her he had been sleeping with a man she looked right at him and she said, “ so.... you’re telling me you’re gay?” And she said he just gave her this big grin. She was like oh my God. She stayed in their house until the end of the year when he bought her an apartment right next-door right down the street from him and they remain friends very very close. Mary said that she was going through a lot of stuff herself and it wasn’t just Friday and some of it was her. He was just far more dismissive of her than she was of him. She said after that they broke up he was totally happy and at one with himself and she said it was so good to see him be like that again. They had always been close but they got to be much much closer and they were even like family and Marie was like the house mother. She would come over to the house to make sure everything was going OK with Freddy about every week and she was always checking out his friends and staff and she told him when somebody was using him. He was so charitable he would give away crap to anybody and when he’d have a party even pay for water and booze and drugs and he wasn’t into drugs so much but he definitely did drink but he was a lightweight so he couldn’t drink much😂😂😂
React to Queen's I WANT IT ALL ( official video) and ONE VISION (official video)
NO HEADPHONES! Now you're going to have to go back and listen to all of these songs again! 😉😅
The song you should do is "I want it all". You had to have heard it (but didn't realize it was Queen) the "Drag" Freddie was "I Want to Break Free". Both worth doing.
Try “It’s Late” and “Save Me”. Listen to both studio & live versions!
When my family is in the car my dad hands my his phone I put on sunglasses from 4th of July and my sister and I take turns putting bands on the radio like the bands. Ac/dc,queen,arrow smith,black sabbath, Michel jackson, and more stuff from guardian of the galaxy soundtrack
Great reaction to a great song. One of their best, if not their best song. Cool that you immediately found out how great this song is.
Lyrics go: "I'll soon be turning 'round the corner now", omg...

Best male singer of our time (and easily one of the very best outright).
I Want It All is a great video that was featured in the video.
#challenge Love of my Life, live at Wembley 1986
The scenes that show him with a beard were the last ones done. He had an aids related sarcoma on his face and grew the beard to hide it. He didn't announce his illness to the public until the day before he died.
thx for the upload!!! I also recommend One Vision, was also a killer song
I want it all
White queen
Gimme the prize
Love ya babe. Thank you!
I'm going slightly mad is a sweet lullaby slide into comfortable insanity
And Brian may wrote this song
Check out 'I Want to Break Free', the video where they dress up as ladies. Brilliant song
I put this on another post but here is my challenge don't try suicide, and mother love
And Freddie in that outfit is from I want to break free
Princes of the Universe, should react to, it's a banger.🙂
Paid My Dues!!! NF!!!
The funny thing is, they didn’t show any of their 70s work at all. Their best years were 1974-1980 and they didn’t show any of that. Weird.
