They stated in the DOOL documentary that some peeps jumped off the building above the studios during the recording of The Game.

I'm pretty sure that was during Hot Space

'Them'? Try 'him', for that song is basically Freddie except for two seconds of guitar near the end.

I lived in the Arabella when I was a kid in 1971 and witnessed a suicide. I never new the woman or her story, but have often wondered. Is there any link or online info regarding the history of 'Suicide Block'?

Yeah, he got really depressed on the 80's, specially when AOBTD became a massive hit of Queen.

Poor guy.

I think Freddie is the one more asociated with the surviving issue.
I remember Brian saying how he changed the meaning of Keep yourself Alive. Brian wrote it as a metapfor kind or... "life is more than just living" but Freddie sung it as it was a life or death scenario.
Also "Hang On in There" , " How Can Go On" and " Dont Try So Hard" sound all very involving for Mr.Mercury

Hang On In There ;-)
