The fact that all the members of queen were so open minded about Freddie's sexuality makes me so happy. It's so sad that he passed, he truly did change the world.
@@kostasthanos4440 i think he/she ment that, although Freddie is no longer with us, Freddie and his voice will always be in our hearts. As they say, legends never die.
Brian is completely right in his comments on Freddie’s sexuality. I can’t stand it when people say Fred was closeted. He just lived his life! That’s the way it should be.
Yeah, it's very strange. At that time it wasn't accepted to be open and out. He did the brave thing of simply dating and sleeping with whoever made him happy. Why did the press feel as if they were owed it for him to go to them and tell the world he wasn't straight
Same here. One thing that pisses me off is when freddie was sick a reporter followed him to the hospital and took pictures as he was leaving the hospital
The fact that Paul Daniels said that he didn’t really like queen or Freddie Mercury while sitting next to 2 of his best friends one week after he died is so ignorant
I remember the day Freddie Mercury died, like it was yesterday. I remember I used to read teletext every morning whilst I was getting ready for school. I was 15 and in year 10. I remember shouting to my mum ‘mum, Freddie Mercury has died!’ I’ll never forget, she was washing the breakfast pots, I heard her clattering pots, then she came running into the front room. We were both just speechless. That day at school, everybody was talking about it and we were all so sullen. We were at an age where a lot of our parents were big Queen fans and we loved a lot of the old songs and especially the more recent songs because they were released in our lifetime. That day we had a music class and instead of doing what we were supposed to doing, the whole class burst into a full rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. Our teacher was so angry, but we didn’t care and didn’t stop. We wanted to honour Freddie in that moment. Their are certain celebrity or high profile deaths that no matter how old you get, or how long ago it happened, you never forget the details, it imprints on your memory forever - Princess Diana was another in 1997. My sister came bounding into my room waking me up to tell me! It’s just shocks you into silence and your mind just goes far away. Kurt Cobain in 1994 is as clear as day for me, as well.
Yeah, like Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, John Lennon, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Stuart Sutcliffe, Brian Epstein, George Martin, Linda McCartney, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, David Richards, Charlie watts, David Bowie, Mickaël Jackson, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Ben E. King, Richard Wright, Eddie van Halen and a lot of people😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥.
I love how they stand up for Freddy, both Brian and Roger. They really loved their friend and wanted to speak up for him after he tragically died. True friends.
They are destroyed right here, it took courage to even have an interview at this time. Bless you Roger and Brian, friends until the end. #FreddieForever.
Bravvo Brian forcing through about the HIV/ AIDS awareness in the end👏👏❤❤. I wonder why the another guy ore the knob as Roger called him so nicely later was there in the first place 🤔
My sorrow also goes to those who became hiv because of blood transfusions for haemophiliac children, who are regarded as an enemy. I heard of one poor little boy who’s family’s house was burned down
Today in 1991, we lost one of the greatest, most powerful voices in rock history, Freddie, we're ready! We will never forget you, we miss and love you always!
Watching this interview in 2021, nearly 30 years after Freddie’s death, I am honestly touched by the sweet words of support by Brian May and Roger Taylor; You can tell how much they loved their friend and how much ahead of their time they were talking about homosexuality and the virus especially in an age when AIDS was still deadly and taboo. Kudos to this great band and to their friendship.
I'm so sad he died when I was only 3 months old ): I wish he was still here and didn't suffer the way he did. I'm going to be 30 soon and Queen is my favorite band. I'm so grateful that this band exists. I love how Brian and Roger defended him after he passed. I'm sure this interview was hard to do ): Rest in paradise Freddie darling
That.....is really fast for an interview after a mate dies!!!! Like I’ve seen friends and family talking in public months on months later~ even years. Wow damn a week?!!!!!!!!! I feel they did this more to clear the air of what actually happened with Freddie! With all the disgusting rumors and mean comments!!! They shouldn’t feel like they should come out to talk about the life! She should of been mourning and reminiscing his life not be at studios for interviews!!!!!!
The world was mourning a cultural icon and living legends, and nasty nasty rumors were being spread and I imagine those close to him we're fed up about it and felt needed to clear the air on their friend
@@wolffisuЗащитить имя Фредди от порочащих его слухов - единственная причина, побудившая этих парней прийти в студию и дать бой грязным языкам !

Those british tabloids killed princess diana and ruins johnny Depp's career. Imagine Freddies situation? Like brian said he's like a prisoner in his own house. And he was very sick at that time.
To be fair Daniels did go on to say that he wasn't a fan of any music because he had his head down into his magic. Daniels also went on to say Freddie Mercury will ultimately defeat the press who wrote the spiteful false rumours about him. He said Freddie will be victorious over the toxic press who write all the nasty crap, that was a respectful comment to make about Freddie.
Is really how crazy the mindset we have in the US since the US knew that the hard comments were crazy🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️we really need to care about people more and actually embrace anything
Y'all don't know what a joke is ? His straight peers can fuck can their way through underage groupies and each other's wives but Freddie making 1 joke on tabloids' expense is what you call irresponsible lol.
They did this interview because of how much awful press came out so suddenly after Freddie's death. They felt they had to defend Freddie's legacy and his character.
You can literally see how broken both of them are. I think they were really brave to come on while they were still grieving and not only defend Freddie’s character and clear up all of the crap that had been said about him but also speak out about AIDS and try and raise awareness especially with all the false beliefs that surrounded the condition at the time.
They hadn't done this interview if press hadn't been so bad . Fans were devastated when they read about how lonely and miserable Freddie was in the end of his life and I suppose many wrote to the other members in Queen or fan club, whatever and asked why they left their friend alone.They wanted answers.. I think Brian and Roger wanted to defend Freddie and themselves too. Freddie's friend Mary Austin did an interview quite soon after his death too.

And how he was joking right after they got done talking about people romanticizing aids and Freddie’s death
Incredibly disrespectful no matter what your opinion
Paul daniels was so disrespectful towards Freddie and his best friends sitting next to him. What an absolute knobhead.
Don't know why they had that twat Daniels on !!!!

That’s a lovely way to honor him. This comment made me smile ❤
I feel like John would’ve broken down during this interview if he was there, I can understand why he didn’t go :(
Yea ):
John was devastated wasn't he; Freddie was his emotional and mental support. Totally understandable.
Ouch, this hurts. But I feel like this is true.
In The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, you can see at some points that John was holding back tears especially in I Want It All with Roger Daltery
He was the whole reason why he left Queen and even stopped talking to Brian and Roger. Freddie was dear to John.
They seem to be such gentlemen. Brian and Roger that is. Freddie was one true artist and best male rock singer in world history, no doubt about it.
I love how they stand up for Freddy, both Brian and Roger. They really loved their friend and wanted to speak up for him after he tragically died. True friends.
They are destroyed right here, it took courage to even have an interview at this time. Bless you Roger and Brian, friends until the end. #FreddieForever.

Rodger and Brian looked so sick. Rip Freddie Mercury
If John Deacon was there, he would look sick and sick because he couldnt answer any questions
@@adamfarrellymusicandmusicr5509 he would’ve never went even if they paid him
All they wanted to do was protect him . . . So sweet ❤
Roger looks devastated 🥺
why would paul daniels say that right infront of his 2 bestfriends?? bro what

I was 6 months...now we are 30 and respect him now that we know his story
He suffered, and during 4 years…
Why did the male interviewer seem like he was attacking 😕 pretty harsh considering they lost their best friend/work colleague
Roger looks like he wants to punch that guy in the face next to Brian
In an interview about this, Roger actually says "what a knob" to words of that effect

That one person who disliked accidentally did it
This interview had them so sad they pressed the wrong button
Oh! I feel them! I was so sad when I read the history of the death 🖤 💔 RIP Freddie
Freddie was the brightest star in the universe and then went supernova for eternity
Why the fuck was Paul Daniels' opinion relevant? 🤔 Jesus....
Took the words right out of my mouth
Brian may. A national trasure, the way he stirred the convo by asking 'can we talk about aids'. He really shut them up
Those british tabloids killed princess diana and ruins johnny Depp's career. Imagine Freddies situation? Like brian said he's like a prisoner in his own house. And he was very sick at that time.
12:10 Paul Daniels " were you a fan of Queen and Freddie Mercury .....well...no " "I put my head down into magic " what an utter walloper

This is so emotional. I’m in tears rn :(
They look like they try to keep the tears in:(((
I love the love and admiration the band mates love this
My heart continues to be heavy, since the news of his leaving.
Brian & Roger act as a protective wall. That's what real friends are all about. Total respect for RT & BM.
Anyone know what Paul Daniels was doing there?
Very nice this interview! Love you guys!! ❤🎉
Best frontman ever, period.
Love and miss you Freddie........How great you were and still are............ xoxoxox

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean BRIAN MAY Queen
Excellent.

Sooo sad !! To damn early for a interview
Но не рано для защиты чести близкого друга !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sooty the legendary puppet smacked knob head paul Daniels im so glad to say
Los ojitos de Roger😭😭
This is so sad
He was amazing, it wrong judgement to state he was gay. He want no one to know him, he is sadly missed. I loved Freddie.

I Litteraly agree with Roger press were god awful
If Freddy didn’t meet that one guy who didn’t tell him about Live Aid... Freddy would probably still be alive today. :(
Nobody's fuckin bissness why did thay not leave him alone bless you Freddy!!!!!!
