Freddie's Final Vocal Confirmed (?)

Well, we know there are songs like I guess were falling out, Hangman, demos with different ideas....but this stuff is more appropriate to be publish in a box set of rareties, than trying to rework it. Is only my opinion. And it's true Andy Gibb worked in Play The Game, but only in the first lines sang, said by Mack. Nothing really trascendental for the music's world, only for Queen fans.

But the bottom line is this: a 'new album' shouldn't be released even if there was enough material for one (and there isn't). [/QUOTE]

Who the fuck are you to say whether Queen should or should not release something? Queen fans never cease to amaze.

Naturally, you are in the minority on this issue. One more real Queen album is the best possible thing they could do and it finally looks like a real possibility....and hey you don't have to buy it.

Phoebe's changed his tune:

"On the studio records it states that the last time Freddie recorded anything was in May/June 1991. It is also a fact that he went into the studio a couple of times more during his stays in Montreux up until November 1991. Whether he did any vocals or just sat and talked with David Richards, I don’t know, as I was in London for the duration of Freddie’s last visit there."

I'd imagine that that's done with. The times where he would go on record saying 'Freddie recorded in his final weeks' was simply guesswork due to him not even being in the same country!

Thanks! Nice clarification there. That pretty much puts the matter to bed, I would think.

Unrelated to this thread but I am curious to know; Perhaps someone with knowledge like Sebastian could help. Around what time he recorded There Must Be More To Life Than This? Thanks.

On that last Montreux trip : Freddie , Jim Hutton, Joe,Terry and Tony King(Mick Jaggers Assistent)...as far as I know.

Well, now Phoebe have posted the final date on which Freddie left Montreux

"With the new exhibition in Montreux it is stated that Freddie was last in the studio at the end of May when he recorded his last vocals on the track Mother Love. Freddie returned to Montreux a couple of times after that, and left for the last time on Sunday 10th November."

He got onto an airplane two weeks before dying of AIDS ? Is that even possible?

^Jim Hutton describes it in his book too. He was allowed to not check in with the regular people.

Fascinating. Amazing that they managed... credit to everyone involved.

That said, did Freddie ever check in at an airport with the regular people .. ? ;)

Out of the same book- Freddie, " Not even Liz Taylor gets away with that" ( to the fact that he didn`t get checked by the border patrol on that last trip)...the guesswork is up to you.

Of course, because at the time they didn't know he had two weeks left... hindsight is 20/20.

Aye, true.

Any news?

I think there's not much more to add unless Justin volunteers to contribute again.
