Early 1984? He doesn't look sick and he doesn't look as plump as he did in 87-88.


==============================

problably made during the video shoot of IWTBF. There's a ballet section in the middle of the song where freddie had to shave his moustace.
You made us laugh, you made us cry, you made us feel like we could fly!
Maybe it's early '87,Great Pretender period?
Definitely IWTBF videoshoot.
We love you Mandy!
Judging from photo stock and color depth/exaggeration


Prob great pretender video shoot.


Candid photo recently shaved. Before that photos tended to be less intense in color. (*among band history)
....otherwise the sheer amount of red might suggest IAHL.but it doesn't involve shaven Freddie...mid to late 80's?
"Come tonight! Come see the Overbite! Come to Ogre Battle, FIGHT!"
It is from the IWTBF photoshoot as people have said. It was published in a French magazine from 1984. On the GP shoot, he was wearing a yellow dressing gown.
That's one of the most unique photos of Freddie I've ever seen.

YEAH... the plump face came from the ATZ drugs he used to take for the HIV virus.

Yep, as others have said, he shaved his 'stache for the I Want To Break Free video, which was the only time before 1987, and after he grew the 'stache, that he was photographed without it.
The drug was called AZT not ATZ, btw.

That is what I was referring to by early 1984. I thought their may have been the possibility of an earlier time
I see hes wearing a red robe in tvis photo. Which prompts me to ask if anyone knows what video Freddie was recording when he sat down for the "red robe" interview where he joked that he doesn't miss the rest of the band. IWBTLY?
Its from I want to break free video shoot
