Just a quick one to correct the news item on Freddie being mentioned in Nightmares and Dreamscapes. He is mentioned in the original story. The book was published in 1992, after Freddies Death, and while I can't comment on whether he was in the first draft, he definitely got a mention in the published version, as I remember being a very excited 12 year-old to find that my favourite singer got a mention in a book by my favourite author (sad, I know!).
On a related note, did anyone else hear Stephen King on Desert Island Discs yesterday? It was very interesting listening, and he picked some good tunes.
