^^^ Yes and yes. As the saying goes : death sells. I wonder how many albums Queen sold in North America between 1991 and, let's say, 1996. How many kids, like me, went out and bought the entire Queen discography (not at once, though!) after being introduced to Queen via Bo Rhap in Wayne's World? A lot, probably. Plus all the people that already owned the LPs and bought the reissues. And even with just the sales of GH and Classic Queen, we still talk about A LOT of albums sold during that period. So yeah, pretty good investment.

Oh, my apologies then. For some reason, I had it in my mind he told a story about how he fooled HR. Will definitely rewatch this bit.

Now that you mention it, I do remember that, and a quick google search led me to a passage in Lesley Ann Jones' book where she said that Michael Eisner flew to Montreux to meet Freddie, and they had lunch together, and to cut a long story short it was obvious to Eisner that Freddie was dying. Sad.
