Freddienotfreddy....I also love Freddie's speaking voice and especially the way he laughs. I know the link for this short clip has been posted before, so for many it will not be new...but it is completely delightful!!!

Rainbow....THAT WAS PRICELESS!! Thanks for the morning lift!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Rainbow. Freddie's laugh is contagious. When you can find a clip or video that shares the laugh, it is a delight. I like "the making of One Vision" because there is so much laughter in that one. He must have been a lot of fun.
Hello Queenzone group - I am so happy to find you! I have read through both threads. Wow what a ride. I found this when I saw a review online about the movie and it said exactly what I felt about not capturing the energy, joy, humor, and sharp wit of Freddie. Turns out that review was from Thor, which led me here.
I am so excited for Thor and Lee's book. Can I still make a donation to the GoFundMe page? Could Phoebe be a help with finding a publisher since he has written 2 books?
I am loving the stories and anecdotes. I feel like I have found buried treasure. This could be Heaven....

Rainbow61,
That was a very cute clip...I actually had not heard that one before. Absolutely love is posh English accent with just a little hint of an Indian accent as well. His laugh is great...such a full laugh.

Well, I am back home and have finally recovered from EST.
Listen all, I know that I promised answers to the several pre-Christmas questions that I left behind. Would you all please allow me to work heavily this month on the publishing pursuit? You all have been fantastic at welcoming the new-comers. Please keep that up for me and Lee. I want to double-down on attracting a publisher, which takes a lot of work and time. Please re-ask any questions I did not get to some time in February. Thank you for your understanding
NOW...let's get this book published!
Our Love to all on QZ,- those here for a long time as well as all of the newly participating fans.
With much care and friendliness,
Thor (and on behalf of Lee).

Welcome NotQuiteAShilling! This is a good group of people who share a love for Freddie. Thor and Lee have been so generous with their answers to questions and don't seem to mind answering the same questions for new people who may have missed the original. I know I did that more than once in the beginning.
Thor, by all means, pursue a publisher!! I know nothing about the publishing world so I can't begin to imagine the time you need to put in to get this book to us.
Oh, BTW, NotQuite, yes you can still contribute to Thor's Go Fund Me page. Do you need the link?

FreddienotFreddy, have you seen the video of the making of I'm Going Slightly Mad? I just found one that contains a bit more of Freddie's reaction to the penguin poop. It's cute, and the clip also includes the part where he tells them to clean the couch as only Freddie could.
I tried to find the link for the I'm Going Slightly Mad, but the only one I have is from FB so I'm not sure everyone can access it.

There are many videos that show the "making of", but the one I've attached has Freddie's reaction to cleaning the seat.

Welcome to the thread NotQuiteAShilling! I know the feeling of reading through the two threads, lots of ups and downs but there are so many nice people here that share a love and understanding of Freddie that not many others do.
Rainbow, I love that clip of audio and love hearing Freddie's laugh, its such a great laugh! I first heard the audio on Instagram but I wonder if there is more audio like that out there.
Thor, you know we're here to support you so whatever it takes or however long it takes, we've got you!

Hello Thor, Lee and everyone happy new year. This is my first post on this forum despite reading every page on this thread. I think it is great how two of Freddie’s friends contribute on here and they seem like good guys.
I never had the chance to see Queen in concert, I was around 15 at the time of the Wembley shows but wasn’t the huge fan back then that I was to become later. Just a quick story, My dad doesn’t know much about modern music he prefers stuff from the 50s,knowing how much I like Freddie he mentioned about 10 years ago that one of his drinking pals in London was a driver for Mr Mercury. Anyway I met him in the pub one night and he said that he was a chauffeur for other celebrities too but Freddie was a lovely guy and a big loss, i have to be honest I wasn’t sure if I believed him but others said that he did indeed drive for him sometimes. He called his daughters who brought down a photo album of themselves with Freddie when they were babies, I was very impressed! Good luck with the book guys I hope a publisher is sensible enough to give you a deal, Queen are huge again right now, surely they will see sense, all the best Gary

Thor and Lee, I’m looking forward for the book!
I hope there will be a lot of disco anecdotes in it!

Thank you for the warm welcome guys!
I have also heard that audio Rainbow and it is pure joy isn't it? I hope that there is more out there yet to be discovered.
Katydyd5 the penguin poop and the behind the scenes footage of Freddie and his couch cleaning demands - too funny!
What a great story Born to Love You! Thank you for sharing!
Thor and Lee - thank you for allowing us to be "flies on the wall" for your adventures with Freddie in the early 80's. Such a gift!
