Does anyone have any information on this footage? I.e where it was filmed, what year and if there is a longer reel besides the clip?
Thanks

Looks to be 1981/82. No idea if there's a longer clip somewhere...

It's just a brief early 80s clip of Mercury and Everett, with the latter being rather silly.

Based on Freddie's hair/moustache length, I'd say somewhere in 1980

Can't say I bothered watching that before. Usually steer well clear of that kind of thing, but I found it touching and incredibly sad. Thanks for making me watch it :)

That place can't be Garden Lodge can it? Didn't Freddie move in there in mid-80's anyway?

Kenny's story is indeed very sad.

Haha, you know you're a hardcore fan when you can say what age it is based on a moustache.

It's how Rush fans have dated late 70s pics for years ! Neil Peart's cookie duster is sometimes more distinctive than Alex Lifeson's hair.

Peter Freestone writes that Freddie and Everett never spoke after Christmas 1980,although there is a photo of the two of them with Billy Conolly, which looks like 1984 or thereabouts.

They were very goods friends,who else could get Freddie to guest on a TV show? Listen to Freddie reading the weather on Youtube on Kenny's 1976 Capital radio show,really funny.And I fully believe that story when Princess Diana went to the Vauxhall tavern with these two dressed as a man in the eighties,she loved Kenny and was a huge fan of Queen.

I find the Lady Di story a bit hard to believe. It just sounds too fantastical to be true, and there's really no evidence that Freddie and Diana ever even met. They were at the same venue for Live Aid of course.
But can you imagine the huge risk she would have taken - going to a gay club dressed as a man, with Freddie Mercury? If the press found out, she'd have been toast. This was a long way away from her divorce from Charles.
