for a Innuendo tour with freddie kinda like the way they used freddie on screen on the new tour Paul rodgers tour? That would have been awesome and it would have sold out everywhere! |

Nothing like footage of a terminally ill man to kick off a stadium tour, eh? Actually; I do wish Queen hadn't had such a hateful attitude towards documentary footage. The Making of One Vision stuff in particular is kind of disappointing to watch, when you consider how much they hated the cameras being there. Having said that; I do wonder why on earth they let cameras into the studio for that Innuendo EPK stuff. Talk about putting on a brave face. |

I'd rather watch Queen with Robbie Williams (whom I hate) than Queen with a dead singer caught on video. |

I know of a really awesome film shot in 1963 by a guy called Zapruder. So awesome. |
| Mercuryking 27.10.2007 08:27 |
No by awesome i think he means that its deep stuff , the man in his final months performing such amazing things. Seeing that on tape is incredible, sad and amazing all in one. |

well brenski , everything about life is ultimatly sad so... But what a way to go out on , on top. |

"Wat innuendo EPK??" When they were making the video for Headlong, they also did interviews and stuff. Freddie didn't really say much of anything, he just joked around with the band in a control room for a short while. "But what a way to go out on , on top." Yes, and in the end - it killed him. C'est la vie. |

I think where the dignity comes in is that he did not give up, and, despite his physical condition, pressed forward, determined to keep making music.
That being said, I do not enjoy seeing him, in that condtion. It is just so very sad, and, painful to watch. I'd rather just listen to the result of his struggles.

He was very weak but still soo unbelievebly strong in his last years |

He recorded those vocals almost a year before passing away. He then went to record other tracks as well. Still, I agree it is a very good performance, one of his best. He had sang higher notes but that particular line in that particular song made it more special. When was Mother Love recorded, by the way? I think I saw a sheet in the Champions of the World documentary that had May 10th 1991 on it but also there's a version saying that Freddie recorded until about two weeks before passing away. Also, have you noticed a sylabe of Brian's singing in the "I'VE walked along in this lonely lane" part in Mother Love? I think we discussed that years ago but maybe some of the newer members haven't noticed it. Wiley |

I sure hope there's footage of Freddie's last words "pee pee". That would be amazing to see. Let's hope they'll include it on the 30th anniversary release of Made In Heaven! |

I rather see a naked Bretlie replacing Spike than this, actually. |

"Also, have you noticed a sylabe of Brian's singing in the "I'VE walked along in this lonely lane" part in Mother Love? I think we discussed that years ago but maybe some of the newer members haven't noticed it." As the last verse of the song demonstrates, there's next to no chance that Brian could double that effectively for Freddie. Freddie's voice was changing all the time anyhow, especially from '86 onwards. As for when Mother Love was recorded ; from all the quotes I can add up in my head, it seems that Mother Love and A Winter's Tale overlapped in the recording process, and that the last thing Freddie did was for A Winter's Tale, at Metropolis Studios (and not Montreaux). But you know; it's incredibly hard to get a straight answer on the subject of when his last vocal was laid down. I guess we could all ask a certain guitarist. Even if it wound up being April the 1st 1990, I'd still be impressed - Freddie was in terrible shape even then, and they're killer vocals. |

I know the exact date when freddie sang the last line for mother love. The singing went with about 2 lines a dauy and the recording ended 9 november 1991 with freddie his health on zero and his body weight about 35-40kilo,s |
