Makka wrote: For anyone that looks at the Ask Phoebe forum on the Freddie Mercury website I'm sure a lot of us would agree with his last paragraph from his latest entry. "I’m just back from Freddie’s birthday celebrations in Montreux. It was glorious, and the costumes and hats on display on Saturday evening were amazing. It therefore makes me sadder after the smiles and laughter there from so many of you, to come back to the internet and watch the bullying that goes on there. Some people have created their own fantasy land and just lash out at anyone who doesn’t live in the same sphere. The Queen and Freddie environment always used to be a fun and happy place to be, it makes me sad if this bickering is going to be Freddie’s legacy." Such poignant words but very true.

They still kept in touch and I have many fond memories of the times they did meet up. On is from when Freddie had torn the ligaments in his knee in Munich and was in a plaster cast. Elton performed in the city and of course Freddie wanted to watch the show. Freddie and I were seated on the side of the stage enjoying ourselves when Elton stood up from the piano seat and said ‘This is for Melina, the poor cow’ and then proceeded to sing ‘I’m still standing’! He also visited Garden Lodge regularly during the last year of Freddie’s life, spending a few hours with him each time.

I do not like the guy at all because he is being indiscrete. Same thing like Hutton's appalling and shameful book. I am sure Freddie would be fuming if he knew that there is someone telling private stuff in public. It's a shame

As I guessed he would be.... polite /. diplomatic. "There are certain voices types that I like, and certain voice types that I don't like" etc...

Guessing you didn't bother listening to the end of the part they talked about Q + if that's all you heard.

Yes he is and he's right about social media and Greg is right about on here but I didn't get the impression Peter was just being polite and didn't like Adam's voice but then he's into opera and knows about trained voices so whether Adam's his personal taste or not he clearly knows he can sing and doesn't think he's utter crap which is what some on here say all the time.

Galileo1564 wrote: @Day dop regarding the latest Ask Phoebe—there is someone with the user name FreddieDearie who has a great many posts on QZ essentially saying that Jim and Freddie were not lovers. Or they were but . . .Honestly I don’t remember all the details. If you really want to read some garbage posts you can search. Apparently this person posts on Instagram as well. And there is other stuff on IG that I vaguely heard about. There are some people in Thor’s thread who know a lot more about this.
