Band that you like better than Queen.
Queen did have some Led Zep influence, at that time on their first two heavy rock albums, but after that they were totally original and had their own genre - I call it "pomp rock" in the mid 70's followed by their own...

Freddie obviously felt that Elton, who was also gay and had also been at risk during the same period would be a sympathetic shoulder. Of course Elton eventually tested negative and had escaped the fate of many gay cel...

About Freddie and his illness
It's pretty safe to say that he was totally unaware that his fate had been sealed by 1983, his last year in NY, and that he would have been more careful if the dangers had been fully known at that time. Tragically it...

Freddie/Aids
I also believe that the latency period of HIV in Freddie's case was a bit shorter than the average of 10 years, due to the added effect on his system from his excessive lifestyle , the alcohol , smoking and drug consu...

Clues of AIDS during The Magic Tour
Freddie had entered the last stage of HIV disease in late 1986 : AIDS. My calculated guess is that he was probably first infected at some point between 1978 and 1981, most likely in the US, and from literally anyone f...

For example, John Murphy, amongst others, also slept with Freddie in the fall of 1980, and he was infected before Fred,and died five years before Fred. So why point the finger at Nicolai? That Documentary likes to sen...

people who might have infected freddie
Wasn't it before he met Nicolai and had a fling with him in 81/82, Freddie was sleeping around in the US on tour for a few years prior to that. It seems more likely it was a while before he met Nicolai he was infected...

Freddie Mercury's HIV Diagnosis – Some Insight – 1985 to 1987
David was very lucky, as his lover had started to play the field in the US in 1977, and probably didn't finally contract HIV until the following year, whether from a first exposure, or after a few exposures, such is t...

The rest of the band were told in either 1990 or early 1991 I believe, Brian mentions what Fred told them pretty directly and his intention to " work till I ****** well drop" But I believe they suspected he was ill ba...
