You being serious? Check out the back sleeve of the debut LP.  Then check the videos for The Miracle, Scandal, Breakthru and Headlong.  Look very, very closely at Freddie's beard. Once you've done that, come back and tell us your findings I'm thinking more Scandal...however, that was just a temporary thing to hide his illness, not like his moustache which he really seemed to like.  Either way, it's sad that he died so young.

Not so sure about that, tbh.  Plus, he wasn't ill in the early 70s where the "Queen" pics were taken.  Defo had a beard, for aesthetic purpose, from time to time.

Freddie was very proud and particular about his music  He was more concerned about his appearance on stage as he represented a "Rock" icon.  I think in private he was a much different person, with a quiet, simpler life, who cherised his privacy.   I don't think he would have tried to hide his aging, hair, teeth and all!  However, having said that, I know he prided himself in taking care of his weight, and would never have let it go out of control!  Besides, with his good looks, aging would only make he more handsome, more desireable to women and of course "men".

I don't think Freddie would have 'porked out'.  No one in his family seems to be overweight.  Freddie's father was quite thin as is his mother and sister.  Also, Freddie has long, slender limbs, not a body type that is prone to roundness.  Perhaps a bit of a paunch and that would be it.  I think he would have a recessed hairline and probably a bald patch at the back (as was evident just before he died).  If I get a moment, perhaps I'll try my hand at making my Photoshop version of Freddie at 65. 

One thing will be certain...he will always have a charismatic charm about him.

I agree that he would have been almost completely bald. Kind of like Phil Collins or Bob Hoskins.

you do realise that your nickname -  Sourmilksea, is NOT actually an original Freddie idea. Freddie called one of his bands that as an acknowledgement of one of his favourite bands at the time - the Beatles.
It's actually a Beatles (Goerge Harrison) composition from the 1968 (white album) sessions.

apols if you already knew that. but many younger people round here probably think that names like 1984, sour milk sea etc were all original queen ideas

Oh, come on! I suppose next you will be telling us that Brian May did not write "1984"? Well he did, and it was Freddie's favourite book. Or so he says.

Brian is the one with the beard on the back sleeve of Queen 1. But yes Freddie has had a full beard

He would have looked like this

Wow spot on. But not with the moustache. (I know many people wouldn't recognise who it's meant to be without it)

An aged Freddie I made on photoshop :)
