'There've been a lot of rumours lately...about a certain band called Queen. The rumous are that ehm...the rumours are that they are going to split up. What do you think? (crowd: no!) They're talking from here (points at his -godgiven- ass)! (crowd: yes!)..A bit later Fred says Queen is going to stay together until one of them drops.
Prophetic words? Unfortunately yes. Though if Fred hadn't fallen ill, we wouldn't have known 'The Miracle', 'Innuendo' (they don't make that kind of albums anymore)and 'Made in Heaven', their emotional goodbye. Maybe other great material would have been recorded. Maybe Queen would have splitted. No one can tell.
I think Fred felt his body would be weakening very soon. People who are diagnosed cancer also say they did feel strange or a bit ill months, even years, before they were diagnosed. AIDS is an immunity 'thing', so it's not unthinkable Fred wouldn't have felt a thing in the months before the official diagnose (I think he knew about aids somewhere in april '87, while Knebworth was August '86)(I was born May 19th 1986).
Knowing there could have been something wrong, Fred probably looked totally different at the Magic Tour as at the other ones. (e.g. the 'no-split til we drop' intermezzo's and Fred's strange behaviour after the Knebworth Venue, his swansong.)(There was this huge end-of-the-tour-party thrown, but Fred just went home feeling no need to party, which was quite strange as 'Freddie Mercury' was a synomym for 'Party'.)
Anyway, we will never know exactly what really was going on. Freddie is dead. But his legacy is enormous. He's a God to millions of people (and a Godess to other millions). His early death just gave myth a chance to grow. He did it the way the biggest do: starting furiously, growing through the years, win over the whole world, making wonderful material, having a life that's double full, get caught by this horrible disease, making his final goodbye-set (masterpieces, all three of them)(though Innuendo's my favourite) and then, waving off in style (Nov 23th 1991) saying he's dying. Queen's second career began. An after-career. A never ending salute to Freddie, Brian, John and Roger.
After all these years, no real huge artists come up anymore...we start to realise how wonderful it used to be, how exceptionnal, how superb.
Freddie, if you're up there... to me, you're more than the best. Not just this planet, you're a whole galaxy on your own. And galaxy's are forever (or at least they exist a while). You gave (and still give) millions of people hope and joy when they need it. And that, my dearest, is a noble thing! Au revoir mon copain, tu restes dans nos coeurs!

Mr. Bad Guy.. Why do U have to repost your former post.. do you think people wontsee your "masterful thoughts.." well they do.. everytime you post something in existing thread.. it moves up in the order..
Its stupid to go so far on emphasizing your ideas.. yes they were great.. but dont post the same post everyday.. it get's kind of boring ;) Its nice U love Freddie so much that U try to reach him in your prayers by this forum just like those millions of kids thru that tribute page..
I know Queen has become a religion and Freddie the god of it.. but sometimes it gets to these ridiculous measures.. ok?

If not, oh well.
If you read carefylly Mr. Bad Guys post.. U notice the line "youre a whole GALAXY on your own".
So there's no fucking way he could have done that accidentally ;) IMHO of course :)
wow, this is incredible, I have to laugh at how ridiculous some people are. This bad guy character deserves to be verbally bashed for them comments but Sicmot can't say anything with that signature "Like FM Its so hard to be a star on the sky without being formed by a comet.. " hahaha, wtf hahahahahaha

So what and why should I say anything with that signature? once it says it all in parable.
Its not my problem if youre feebleminded person
and cant understand it.
Im not saying FM is universum or a galaxy,
All Im implying/metaphorizing is, he's a "star" larger than life.. being formed by a comet.. the comet symbolizes this somekind of greater purpose that defined his life and what he became.
hahahaha. I mean oh yeah, what kind of misguided fool am I?
surely Freddie should be eligible for a sainthood or something? comedy people here at the 'zone. keep up the quality freddie appraisals, folks.
I'm sorry, I posted this message in a new topic thinking I posted it as a reply. After I've done this, I noticed my post didn't appear as a reply and I realised I gone wrong.
I probably look ridiculous :s héhé
yups,
