Wow. I can't believe all this time that I've had Made In Heaven I always thought it was really Freddie. I just read this post and then looked at the cover. I never noticed that before.

It's okay, it took me awhile as well. I only really noticed it when I looked at an album cover which was a lot lighter so the statue actually looked like bronze. My CD cover is a lot darker so you can't see the bronziness as well and it looks like a silhouette really.
It made a lot of sense when I realised it was the statue, though :-)
heh...actually, i saw a picture of the cover online and i thought it was really Freddie...then i got the actual album and looked closely at it and was like "oh...it...isnt...ok..." but i still get like all emotional when im actually listening to "Too Much Love Will Kill You" and am looking at the cover......hell, i get all emotional anyway when i hear that song...beautiful, but sad.
You guys who thought that was really Freddie on the front cover are kidding aren't you?.....arent you?....C'mon surely you really didn't think it was really him??
The statue isn't actually anywhere near the background shown, although both are in Montreux. I think that the statue was photographed in some random field and then superimposed on the background.
I think it's so incredible that some didn't figure out it was a statue! I realised it was since the first time I saw the cover and still makes me shiver when I see It. If you missed this I think you missed the whole cover concept, which lies on the fact that that's evidently a statue: Freddie IS now Legend which will live forever in history. Wow, it moves me even when I talk about it. :)
cheers
