wait Real Wizard - so did Fred really beg for his job?
I wasn't there, so how would I know?
this would have come out or hinted at in the gazillions of biographies on the band or FM
Just because the band hasn't mentioned something doesn't mean it didn't happen. Their private lives aren't on display for the world at the world's demands.
Like I said - this film perhaps wasn't the best way to let this one out (how can I say this and simultaneously be accused of being a "Brian May apologist"?).
But let's think about this rationally:
In 2011 they told stories in the Days Of Our Lives documentary they hadn't told before. So does that mean those things were fiction in 2010? Obviously not. Which means there are still more to tell, many of which they will never tell.
There's a reason why Adrian Belew couldn't tell his Bowie/Zappa stories until both of them were dead. And that's just the ones he chose to tell. McCartney tells new stories to this day, too. Are those all fiction because he didn't tell them at some arbitrary earlier date?
There are countless stories that will never be told about Queen or any other artist. Sometimes stories come out a week later, a year later, decades later, or not at all.
