Brian actually says the thing about his foot having 'very little left' in his 3D photos book, so it's not made up by a newspaper. He must have said it for it to be in his own work.
Having said that, could it be that Brian was so horrified by Freddie's open wound that his memory has exaggerated the image of it that plays back in his head? I'm sure he's not lying, it's just his perception. Perhaps Freddie did have some of the wound removed but the foot must have been still functioning, because Jim describes him managing to just about get down his stairs not long before he died, as Invisible Woman says above.

As i remember, there was info in some book about Fred (Freestone's or Hutton's one) that in the last months of his life he stumbled (or even felt, acounts vary) on the street because of his eyesight coming poor.
Since this day he never left Garden Lodge, as he firmly refused to use a cane or other crutch.

"There was very little left of it" undoubtedly refers to the foot dystrophy, which is often associated with HIV.
Although Brian is ambiguous, the interview is accurate and does not speculate amputation, so his later resentment is without much reason.

I'm going to do my best to not appear overly perturbed by the unbelievably idiotic posters on what's left of this once great forum.
Freddie did not have his foot amputed, nor did Brian say anything of the sort.
I'm not a doctor but I do have access to something called Google, and I also have a basic knowledge of HIV/AIDS, which anyone attempting to comment on Freddie's last days should have.
Freddie had Kaposi's sarcoma, like many AIDS patients did at the time, before the advent of combined antiretroviral therapy, also known as HAART.
If you want to know what KS can do to the feet, just Google "kaposi's sarcoma foot". Without appropriate therapy - which just didn't exist, apart from some short-lasting and dangerous drugs such as AZT - KS would eventually start causing mayhem, and his foot probably looked very worse for wear in his final months.
Some of the tissue might have gone due to the KS.

Hahahahaha, "but I have Google!"
Your comment would have sounded a lot more credible if you'd just let out that bit. Also, if you want people to read what you post, don't start by calling them idiotic in the first sentence.
Anyway, we can guess all we want but all we have are Brians words. We can believe him or not. Nothing more to it.

Unfortunately it's true. I won his foot in an auction just recently and it's now sitting pretty in my wall safe. Might've washed it beforehand though.

I don't usually reply to people who include "Hahahahaha" as part of their comment, but for you I'll make an exception.
If your idea of "funny" is doing research using the most popular search engine on the internet, then I'm afraid it would be pointless discussing anything with some Johnny-come-lately such as you.
I've researched the history of HIV/AIDS, and how the disease affected patients before the advent of HAART in 1995/96, for the past eight or nine years.
I don't need a jack-off such as you telling me if I'm credible or not.
I'm sure you know fuck all about HIV/AIDS.
If you used the internet - through Google - you might not remain such a moron.
In case you didn't realise, Google also gives you links to peer-reviewed journals (or you can just use PubMed if you're at a university which has access to it), which can give you an deep knowledge of numerous medical topics, and are the best way of learning about such things short of formal training.

@ Costa Well, I found if very funny and don't like the term LOL. Really weird that typing out laughing is such a frustration for you?
Speaking of frustration, looking at how your reaction to me is riddled with insults and curse words I have to conclude you are very frustrated with something in your life. Perhaps it's insecurity about the knowledge you think you have about the subject? That's usually the reason when you get a reply like yours instead of proof with a link to credible sources. What you do is shout and curse. Well done. Thats the way to convince people! It's the Antifa tactic in its purest form and that hasn't worked out well for them did it? Please, for your own sake, calm yourself down, watch a few official debates between experts on a subject and rethink your own approach to speaking in public. We just want the best for you.

Everyone can use Google but I think that's not the point. Topics in the forum should be place for each of us to give their own opinion, it doesn't matter whether someone agree or not agree with that opinion.
I think so.

So, if my opinion is that you're, say, a terrorist, or a paedophile, am I allowed to submit it even though I've got absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever?
Or, if you want a less extreme example, if my opinion is that Brian May is Scottish (curly hair, Scottish mum), then should you all respect it even though there's conclusive evidence that he's not Scottish (by the fact that he, you know, wasn't born there)?
