Queen On Drugs

Also i am not sure if Freddie used cocaine or some other drug while performing.

We know he used vodka and beer but on the Milton Keynes (or Rock Montreal)dvd Brian sais on the commentary something like "Freddie was very powerfull that day, he might was on to something" meaning somekind of drug.

Peter Freestone on the other hand denies that on his book saying he wanted to have full control.

I seem to remember reading something that Brian said he never used drugs because there was already enough going on in his head without them.

Yeah I remember Freddie saying he didnt really enjoy using drugs. He said something on the lines "I liked to have full controll over myself". So he probably did them only to fit into the gay club scene.

But I don't believe he got high on stage. Drunk? Yes. There are several bootlegs of him drunk off his ass.

I only know of two shows where he was drunk on stage: The first one is the 2nd Osaka show of 1976 (they had a party between two gigs on that day), and Auckland 1985 (Freddie got drunk with Tony Hadley and Freddie went on stage completely blitzed)!

Per Peter Freestone when Freddie was living in New York City
Freddie would have Peter go "shopping" for him. Peter would go to an apartment where he would use Freddie's "shopping list" and purchase all of the drugs he would need for him and his friends that weekend. Peter said there were tables set up with every drug you could imagine. He would browse and tell the "grocer" what he wanted.

Freddie did far more drugs than just cocaine.

Peter also mentioned how he, Freddie, and the New York daughters were out one night. Freddie had taken some many drugs that he jumped into a trash can and screamed "I'm trash. I'm trash".

On top of that Freddie was a heavy drinker. I wouldn't doubt that he was an alcoholic.


As far as Roger goes I believe his choice of drugs was cocaine. He said he hated pot. He was a heavy drinker.


John had a DUI arrest.


Brian is a drinker. I don't know to what level.

"Peter also mentioned how he, Freddie, and the New York daughters were out one night. Freddie had taken some many drugs that he jumped into a trash can and screamed "I'm trash. I'm trash"."
Perhaps this was the night before that day that David Richards said Freddie came into the studio and bursted into tears.He had woken-up that morning into a dumpster having no idea how he got there and said he had lost control with his lifestyle or something like that.
That interview of Richards (a 2006 radio interview as i believe)
was on you tube but its no longer available.

Freddie Mercury talks about drugs:

There's a line in 'Don't Lose Your Head' -- "Don't drink and drive my car/Don't get breathalised" -- which is directly about John Deacon, who apparently crashed his Porsche DUI. Couple that with his fully-stocked bar on stage during the Magic Tour and I'd say Mr. Deacon had quite the fun year in 1986.

An interview with Mr. Taylor, apparently on...something. :)

Let's not forget the gig in '74 when Brian met up with Joe Perry from Aerosmith backstage and got trashed on a bottle of Jack Daniels white the rest of the members of both bands were arguing who would go on first.

Dear God, he's flyin' high on charlie. Hilarious!!!

How do you think Roger got to be so fat?

I'll give you a hint: it might just be the same cause that made him crash cars and barf all over waitresses.
