Found a rare newspaper article on Freddie.

From the 29th April 1991. it's small though so it can't be read. :/

Not especially rare. Very infamous, though. This is a perfect illustration of why The Sun, its owners and everyone who works there is immoral scum. Rupert Murdoch belongs in jail.

If it's not rare, where else could you find this? I got this from this site.

Is it the article itself you're saying is rare, or the photo? As we can't see the text, I can only imagine you're pointing out the photo - which has been circulated literally hundreds of times on the net over the past couple of decades and is an infamous one here, as TQ has mentioned above. A simple search for "Freddie Mercury, The Sun 1991" on google brings up several hits for this photo, as well as lots of similar images around the time. Tbh, I find it all very ghoulish, so only did that search to find out where else this could be found. I don't know why anyone would want to see this morbid shit.

Sorry, I meant the article itself, I know the photo isn't rare.

^ btw, I just re-read my post above and realised it looks like I'm taking a swipe at you...I apologise for that as I wasn't :)

Agreed that the article itself is hard to find - could only find the photos, but not the text. My research skills ain't what they should be, but I defo couldn't see anything bigger than what you've posted. Just the usual "Freddie's Dead" pages, and funeral shots. Gives me the creeps just looking at it - especially this piece of shit. I know it's fake, but just the idea that someone could attempt passing it off as Freddie's last shot:

Saw that on google. Horrible. :(

That is just ghoulish! And disgusting!

Btw, I only joined yesterday so it's still getting used to. :)

^ welcome to QZ :)

I think that photo was taken when Freddie and Terry went to a yard sale ( or what ever you call those second hand outdoor markets). The photo was also released in german newspapers around that time.I agree with Walter the article itself is hard to find.
As a( former) collector of snippets / reports I was more focused on concert reviews / Tour reports / Studio gossip etc.
The hunting on Freddie begans in 1986 when he returned from a Japan( September if my mind serves me correctly) trip and the press confronting him that two of his ex-lovers died of Aids.

Well that site has the photo of the article said that it was taken when he was walking around in his garden.

Walter, I did not mean your comment was ghoulish. I meant the horrible pic of an 'aged' Freddie. I just wanted to clear that up. :)

^ LOL. I know! Never thought it for a minute!

....or else there'd be bother ;)

^^^^ Phew! Lots of bother! You ARE the danger!
