Have you heard something about it? I read in the "Q" magazine that Freddie had such a room backstage, so that he could relax during the show! |
| deleted user 20.11.2004 06:25 |
Hmm, I dont know, It dosent sound very true though, ! |
| The Fairy King 20.11.2004 06:55 |
bullcrap, performing is a sport, u can not have sex before or during a game...so it's just a stupid rumour :P maybe he had such a place at an afterparty...can't tell :P |
| Brian_Mays_Wig 20.11.2004 07:13 |
Great idea though! |
| Brimon 20.11.2004 07:34 |
He used it during the Brighton Rock solo and encores for getting changed into other costumes. It was at the side of the stage, because normally it would take too long to walk to the dressing-rooms. I think Peter Freestone mentions it in his book. |
| My Melancholy Blues 20.11.2004 08:17 |
Hmm...I've never heard it, though I've read and heard about him so much before... But whatever I may hear about his privacy, I'll never be surprised. |
| k-m 20.11.2004 11:44 |
I read about it in "Q" a few months ago. There was a survey of "the most shocking moments in rock'n'roll". As far as I remember Freddie's tent was at no.10. They wrote he used it in the ending of the show, so that he could come out cheerful and positive for the final. But I guess it was during Brian's solo, because for the rest of the show Fred was occupied with other stuff, wasn't he? |
| Agnieszeq 20.11.2004 12:14 |
During what tour(s) was it? ;-) |
| k-m 20.11.2004 12:17 |
No idea, maybe someone else knows? |
| Agnieszeq 20.11.2004 14:26 |
Exact quote from "Q": "FREDDIE MERCURY'S BACKSTAGE ORAL SEX TENT" Like many important men through history, Freddie Mercury liked a good blowjob. So much so that, according to reliable industry reports, in the early '80s he had his own special talent erected backstage for the sole purpose of satisfying his sexual needs. With a young male friend waiting under canvas, he would rush offstage before the encore to get some oral relief. Suitably refreshed, he then returned to the stage a very happy camper" |

Sounds a bit unlikely. This probabaly comes from the story about the woman giving blowjobs to guests in a tent at the Jazz album launch party in New Orleans. fatty. |

| My Melancholy Blues 21.11.2004 02:03 |
It's just a very stupid rumor! |
| nino trovato 21.11.2004 14:31 |
The "tent" at the back of the stage was a curtained off area just behind John's amps and was called the "dollhouse." It was set up with towels, mirrors and different clothes for costume changes. Who knows, maybe some vodka for Freddie. But to go back there between encores for a hummer? I don't think so. Sounds like one of those stories that become Queen folklore. |
| KingMercury 21.11.2004 15:01 |
i think people get so excited about these kind of things i dont care about fred's private life i admire his musical talent this is just a rumor, a legend. if freddie got a backstage blowjob, that was his business. freddie was very professional and he took care of himself before and during a show. let freddie rest in peace, for the love of god. |
| deleted user 21.11.2004 17:13 |
LMAO...I agree, some people really get excited about things...like harmless video-clips. |
| Sonia Doris 21.11.2004 17:21 |
why do i get so sleepy? |
| LadyMoonshineDown 22.11.2004 00:18 |
Whether or not the validity of that bold statement is true.... Who cares? Man....in fact, it is a good idea. If I were a performing man such as Freddie, I would most certainly be going back to that tent.....often. But I'm not saying whether it is true or a rumor. All I'm saying is, take the idea and use it to the greater good.... Haha...sometimes I am just soooo damn funny, I nearly piss myself in laughter. lol. |
| deleted user 22.11.2004 00:25 |
Oh, shit. Add that to Def Leppard's under-the-stage orgies, and the mother-daughter team... |

[I]At Oakland 6th December 1978 just before Love Of My Life, Freddie says: "I think this next song is gonna be a duet I think, cause Roger and John has gone backstage and got their blowjobs" The audience screams. Brian plays a little on the guitar. Then Freddie says: "Maybe we'll have ours after the show" The audience screams[/I] Is Freddie telling the truth? |
| Queenrocks4579 22.11.2004 16:00 |
You know he was a rock star, rock stars have sex all the time its nothing new. Besides who really cares i mean it was his life. |
| mamamia 22.11.2004 16:12 |
i heard that whilst shagging in a phillapine brothel, fred was doing his thing when the poor little rent boy suffered a prolapsed rectum, ouch! freddie called out get me another, this one's broken! good old freddie. |
| geeksandgeeks 22.11.2004 16:24 |
Wouldn't surprise me, but I dobut that's the kind of thing the band as a whole wants to be remembered for. |

Sorry for being a spoiler, but I think "blowjob" meant Freddie blew his nose during Brian's solos or whatever. |

Was searching for something about Queen's parties on Google, and this more than a decade-old post came up. With all these rumours, nobody knows what Queen, and especially Freddie, were really up to. Whatever it was, it would probably offend some of Queen's fans if they got to know the whole truth. Despite people claiming they only care about the music, in reality it's hard to disassociate the band members from their personal behaviour. One story I read about in the early 2000s on a very obscure website, supossedly a first hand account told by a groupie, was that Freddie was once in a hot tub with a few others guys (and gals as well), and all of a sudden a turd came up floating in the water. It's origin was apparently Freddie's rectum, the muscles of which had become loose and sometimes just couldn't hold turds in. |

Eeh. I know there are changes to the body's elasticity after 30 but that one's something else. I'll have to ask someone I know who works in the "adult entertainment industry" if such a thing is common. (In people who frequent varying sex acts) However that's really disgusting. Pretty sad to see it here on a QZ post. What an awful rumor, sounds more like an insult |

"I'm going backstage for a rest. Maybe get a blow job. Hell, it's Halloween, right?" - Freddie Mercury in New Orleans |
| AlexRocks 06.09.2015 22:48 |
Ummm, what's the secret? It was announced by Rolling Stone Magazine in the U.S. of A. back in 1992 that one of their reporters were horrified to stumble upon and see that he had people (i.e.: men) lined up to have sex with him back on the Magic Tour. I mean ya gotta get HIV some way. It was not contracted by rolling in the mud. There are reasons why haters think it was justified and to have happened to him. Not me. I'm just saying what many in the public apparently think. |
| Costa86 07.09.2015 12:53 |
To be honest, as much as I admire and love FM, it's more or less a fact that his sex habits would probably offend most people. I'm very open minded but still find some of the rumours mildy shocking. Most Queen fans detach their love of Queen from what FM was like in his private life. We know he was a gentle and caring man. And we mostly leave it at that - as we should. |

The floating turd story is in this article, which is clearly a bit of "comical" writing with no relation to the truth (look at the nature of the website it's on)... link |
| luthorn 09.09.2015 21:47 |
I used to be a goalie. Sex before the game was always a bad idea. It would make reaction time slow and knees weak. Perhaps it is different for rock stars, but for male athletes a very bad idea indeed. I hear sex for women is great before the game, so maybe given Freddie's psychology leaning toward feminine behavior, in that case, it would make sense. |

"“He lost all control over his bowel movements – he’d frequently let go whilst making love in bed. He even cleared the hot tub once during a party when several huge floaters suddenly surfaced!” Mercury was finally forced to undergo expensive and painful surgery in 1982 in order to rebuild his arsehole." Ofcourse, during a worldtour which lasted from April to November Freddie had surgery on his arsehole :D |
