FreddieMercury.com

Finally up and running - http://freddiemercury.com

Great!

How is this 'official'? Who runs it?

Quite boring actually.
And mooghead - the site was announced on queenonline.com so I guess it IS official

- Typical website in the recent Queen style. Including spelling mistakes.
- boring lay out
+ Nice to see Peter Freestone is involved. I hope he gets paid for that. He deserves it.

"The site has been launched to support the ongoing legacy of Queen's celebrated lead vocalist and the songwriter Freddie Mercury. It will also coincide with a renewed campaign covering off his solo catalogue and forthcoming releases, however in the meantime we would like to give you a short guide on what to expect on the new site!"

Judging from the site, that looks like exactly what's happening.  There's no 'Ask Freddie's Barber' section.

"covering off" - what sort of grammar is that???

In addition, the terms and conditions and privacy policy don't work - surely a legal requirement before launching live??

Strange that the site is created by a foreign language web company too......

No shit sherlock...

amazing that you have got the domain.

I would think it more valuable to sell than post a cheap looking site like that.

Unfortunately, they've got "private registration" so that's not the real information. They pay extra just to keep it private, I'm sure they're expecting some back lash.
