It's obvious from pictures and he should have wondered why people were throwing Bic Razors onto the stage during the US game tour but did he know ? |
| Thistle 03.02.2011 12:18 |
I don't think he did. You see, a moustache can just happen - like breasts, or puberty. It probably didn't sink in until about 1986, when it was too late to do anything about it. The hair just kept growing, and BICS weren't as advanced then as they are now. You know, if it wasn't for that 'tash, Freddie would have been alive today. It's a well known fact that AIDS grows quicker in a moustache. Luckily, Domestos kills 99.9% of these germs nowadays, but it was too late for Fred by then. |

Who gave him the moustache though? He had many friends with moustaches. Might it have been one of them? |
| LuckyRocks 03.02.2011 13:17 |
I read somewhere that he felt more comfortable with the moustache due to his teeth - the moustache camouflaged this a litttle bit! |
| GratefulFan 03.02.2011 13:28 |
I think it's a great question, and not at all clear. Does anyone recall when he was alleged to have smashed his mirror over that poor chap's head? |

I simply do not wish to speculate on such matters, but you can make up your own mind by checking the back of the Queen 1 LP sleeve. Either that, or it was a man made 'tash, invented by the US government to rid the world of the homosexual community (ooohh, controversial....). |

Freddie had a moustache? I never seen that, is it a photo that was edited? |
| GratefulFan 03.02.2011 13:52 |
Wouldn't you feel it if you had a moustache though? I have no idea. Somebody should write Victoria Beckham and ask. |

So Brian knew as early as 1973 that he had a tache, and he may have passed it onto Fred at that point, but it took until 1980 for it to appear. The hairs on Fred's tache started ingrowing some time around 1984/5 and Fred died from a tache-related infection in 1991. Aside from one short period of remission, at the Bejart ballet performance, and also on the Barcelona video, Fred had been suffering from tache for most of the 1980s. |

It wasn't until 1991 that he had to give in to the conjecture surrounding his follicle health. FTD's, such a folliculitis, are no laughing matter and I hope that this thread does not turn into some sort of sick joke. |

Some of you aren't taking this topic seriously enough. There may be people out there who have a moustache and don't know it. Vampires, for example, who can't see their reflection in a mirror. Or 14 year old spivs whose taches are so thin no one can be sure whether or not they exist. Let's get serious people. Reach out and help someone. |
| marcenciels 03.02.2011 16:45 |
He did cover his face with lots and lots of make-up. He stopped the make-up because he was arrested for shop lifting tons of it !!! He agreed to see a psyco and had to pay back all the stolen goods he could remember taking. Hence ! the all of a sudden moustache mon ami !!! The story never came out. OUPS!!!... It just did ;-) |
| bo rap 03.02.2011 16:53 |
of course he knew with his moustache. he said at a concert do you like my new italian waiter look? and some of the audience in the front row said no. shave it off! To his words were FUCK OFF!!! |

I began to suspect that Freddie had a moustache some time around 1980 but it wasn't until 1989 and the release of the "I Want It All" video and saw that he had developed a full-blown beard that my fears were confirmed. So sad. fatty. |

BREAKING NEWS It appears that the killer 'tache has claimed the lives of others before Freddie: Abraham Lincoln Albert Einstein Salvador Dali Adolf Hitler Oliver Hardy Charlie Chaplin Frank Zappa John Lennon (although he tried to cure himself of the disease, but Chapman knew....) to name but a few. Tragic. And it is still on the rampage!!!!! OMG, it's Killing Tom Selleck.........I can't look........ |

Mustaches are like crabs. They just show up one day, and sex is never quite the same. |

He shaved it for part of the hot space tour, but alas it wouldn't last. |

Was Freddie aware that he did not have a mustache for part of 1982, then? |
