I don't or can't blame M.A for doing it. I'm surprised it went on for as long as it did.

I bet Brian doesn't realise Mary said she didn't think the remaining members deserved a portion of the royalties Freddie left them and claimed they begrudged her the home...

Maybe Brian wrote this before she said that.
What would happen if Mary didn't inherited most of Freddie's wealth?
Probably wouldn't have been created public image about her ( with the help of the press, and probably with the help of the management of the band) as Freddie's greatest love and the person he most trusted.
Most probably, she wouldn't be interesting either to journalists and people around the world.

Can someone tell me how soon after Freddie passed away, when the fans started to go there, leave messages etc?
I wish there was a place n the UK where fans could pay their respects to Freddie. I'm sad that there isn't. I don't think what was once his home is the right place to write messages on the wall.

"unjustified morally"
Pffff haha, it's not like they invaded Poland. Can't really see the difference between his old fag hags writing books and Mary talking in documentaries anyway.

Also if people writing books are morally unjustified what does that make the people that pay money to READ them?
Freddie himself said 'when i'm dead i won't care'.

Perhaps Freddie did not want to have a 'shrine' to himself. Perhaps that is why he did not want anyone (except Mary) to know where his ashes were to be kept.
Personally for me, the best way to pay him respect is to totally enjoy his music!

I think the thing about the ashes is typical of Freddie. There was always a mystery. I think it's right we don't know where they are, it fits with his character. But I think maybe it would be nice if fans had somewhere to go, like in Montreux people can leave flowers at the statue.

Wow, says the one who in an interview explained how Freddie almost lost a foot before dying, while he was talking about unrelated stuff. Fine.[/QUOTE]
How do you know it was unrelated? What you read was a journalist's edit, not an uncut conversation.

That was his flippant personality in the 80s. I wouldn't take such dismissive talk so seriously.
The man cared about his art and what people thought of him. To suggest otherwise is foolish.
The tell-all books would not have come out had he lived, full stop.

Tell-all books get written about famous people after they die - fact of life.
The interest from many Queen fans is there. If the market didn't exist there probably wouldn't be so many.
How many have you read?

I can proudly say the answer is zero.
And the fact that you define your morals by what others are interested in makes you a far different person than I.
Also proud of that.
