Folks,
Peter Freestone has agreed to answer questions from Queen Fans on the Queenonline Messageboard Couch. link
We have 7 days to ask him questions, before I send them to him.
Cheers
Mike

Thank you for highlighting this. Hopefully we can now come up with some different questions for Peter to answer.
The other couch recipients have included Neil Murray, Jim Jenkins, and Jacky Smith, and they all gave some very interesting answers to our questions (they are still online if you want to have a look).
Looking at the questions, this is my favourite:
"Can you explain why Freddie's privacy no longer matters since his death and why it is now ok to write/say personal details about him such as the events on his deathbed and the comment about the size of his genitalia which you recently made for the "Freddie's Loves" documentary? "
but I bet my old "Life Is Real" bootleg that he won't answer it.
When I read Peter's book I always recall line from the George Harrison song from the Beatles' "Let It Be" album: "All through the days I, Me, Mine, I, Me, Mine..."...
Don't want to insult Phoebe, but I agree with YV reply.
Yeah, when I read that quastion I wondered how I would deal with it... there is no easy way to answer this. But I think he is forced to answer it. Ignoring it would be the worst answer...
Peter Freestone has now replied to The Couch questions - they are up on Queenonline now.

And he answered your favourite question too, YourValentine, so how do I claim that bootleg? ;-)

"If I can help somebody by explaining how Freddie dealt with a problem, or how he would react to a situation, then I will talk about Freddie as long as I live" - Peter Freestone
I suppose this is a serious threat:)
You did not accept my bet, Mike, therefore the bootleg goes to the fan who actually did accept.
But don't be sad: you can still download it from Queenzone - or buy it from QOL :)
