What is the general opinion of when Freddie caught AIDS?

Was that book any good?

i would have too say around the mid 80's but my other opinion too carry on with my first one is & i know you guys are more then likely are going too disagree with me
but i believe Freddie caught the aids after he got together with Jim hutton
and i believe he was the one that gave Freddie them.
everyone can think i'm a total fuckwitt
but i really dont care.

yeah i would agree too,you can live healthy for a while before the symptons/affects can catch up,i say he prob got it in the early 80s too,as for the book,i have it,its a great read,some really personal photos and stories in it,its out of print so you can only get it from ebay or amazon,some people hated the book,sayin he sold out to freddie,but,come on,freddies personal assitance wrote a book too.

I have always thought he didn't knew about it untill after Knebworth, because I think the last concert would have been more special. It's just like another show from the Magic Tour. Allthough they were good shows, they should have done something special at the last concert (I think).
But maybe he felt he could done some more shows, even with the knowlage (during the Magic tour)...?


But yes, it's none of our business...
