I've never seen this photo before. Can anybody give me some info about it?
Thanks!
UPDATE: Someone told me that's from the TIME musical show.
Yep same clothing he's wearing in other shots from the special charity performance in April 1988. I would love to have a decent recording of all of the Freddie tracks from that show

Cocaine and Vodka and a brush with Sir Cliff will do that to you.
So it isn't just Brian May you have a vendetta against - it's Mercury too.
If you have any brains in your head you wouldn't make a complete idiot of yourself implying that Freddie was doing coke long after he learned that he had AIDS.
Seriously, why are you posting at a Queen forum?
Hi a number of years ago looking through a second hand book shop in London I found a package containing around 15 photos of Freddie think they're all 8x6 glossy shots, most of them i'd never seen before including this one you mention, it is Dave standing beside Freddie I don't think the guy selling realised what he had in that package and I always wondered how the actually ended up in a second hand shop in Kensington / London... Still have those somewhere.

It might just be me, but it also looks like Freddie is really, really tired in that picture.
It's not just you. It definitely looks like the signs of HIV/AIDS were already starting to show by then, and yet in October that year he seemed more vibrant at the mimed La Nit Festival appearance. This was probably an off day for him, at least thankfully not in terms of vocal performance :-/
Thanks for uploading :)
Yeah he looks tired...and the white make-up- doesn't make it better. Probably he uses it to cover his KS stains ?
On the other fotos I know ( while he was performing), he looks more "vital"
Later that year he lost his voice( tempoary) before the "la Nit" event.
The Real Wizard, re:

You're unable to spot sarcasm then? I'm not going to waste my time writing long, detailed explanations behind posts in order to assist those unable to recognise basic humour. I don't have a vendetta against Brian - please refer back to the other thread that you're trying to bait me in.
>If you have any brains in your head you wouldn't make a complete idiot of yourself implying that Freddie was doing coke long after he learned that he had AIDS.
And you know that he wasn't, do you? I didn't say that he *WAS either, but Freddie was well-known for his historical open use of cocaine (which I'm sure even someone with your limited reading skills will have picked up) and it would have certainly added to the weakness of his reasistance to the HIV virus / AIDS disease when they inevitably hit him. Hence my post.......get it now, do you?
Listen, do you want to take this off line as I'm sure you don't want to be continually taken to task on a publuic forum?
Again, I hope this all helps.
