Tony Pike Scoring Drugs for Freddie

So Tony Pike has died. That guy lived quite the life.

Tony says in here that he helped Freddie find cocaine in 1990. Which seems surprising to me.

I thought Freddie cut out all the nonsense by 1989 or so.

On one hand, you could say he didn’t have much time left in 1990 so maybe it didn’t matter.

On the other hand, I do wonder if Freddie cut out smoking and recreational drugs when diagnosed if that would have bought him more time.

Cocaine can be used as medicine

Interesting.

Rudi Dolezal spoke about Invisible Man video shooting that there was some delay and the band waited for 7 hours until everything was ready. and there was some cocaine as well. As they were finally ready, everybody was on scene except for Freddie. Rudi found him in dressing room on his knees looking for a small package of drug which got lost in a fluffy pink carpet.
Lost some of my ideals about Freddie too ??

Apologize for my horrible English

Stickell's will see to that...

It's highly possible that Freddie did take the odd line as late as 1990 or 1991, but it's also possible that Tony Pike got the year wrong. Was Rudi being absolutely truthful about Freddie? I mean, it's not surprising if this happened since we know he liked cocaine. It's quite possible that while he was unwell, a little hit of cocaine helped him get through a shoot? Who knows? Who cares?

If you know that world and you need to manage pain I can see how it would be easy to try something you are used to. Also to get energy levels up. So it is not as ridiculous as it sounds at first.

Hahaha

^how's any of this ridiculous? It's just something one prob does in that business. Depending on appetites


Dunno if this repeats information. My phones a dinosaur and won't let me read the first article

Oh FFS! IT'S THE EXACT SAME ARTICLE (*only with a more recent header photo)

My mistake folks.

But

*AT LEAST THE LINK WORKED! (i had to adjust it twice in edit)

"On his 41st birthday in 1987, Mercury, just diagnosed with HIV, asked Pike to organise “the biggest birthday bash of all time”, which it turned out to be, at least at the time. The 700 guests included actor Tony Curtis, rocker Jon Bon Jovi, entertainer Grace Jones (“the greatest lover I ever had”, Pike said), Naomi Campbell, Boy George, Julio Iglesias and Spandau Ballet."

Are there photo's?

I seem to recall Fred wrote and performed some music? Does anyone know anything about this?

Freddie gave up alcohol and drugs around 1990 according to Peter Freestone. The Dr's told him that if he stopped he may life longer so it was enough to make him stop

also I'm pretty sure Freddie didn't go to Pikes Hotel in 1990. The last time its recorded he went to spain, he stayed in Rogers villa as it gave him more privacy seeing as the press was after him at the time . This is a news paper report so I'd take it with a pinch of salt. I have this before and he didn't name the person he got the cocaine for.

Speaking about cocaine, in one of the documents somebody mentioned Freddie never took coke during recording sessions because it affected his voice.
What do you think?
And what about the gigs? There were another people speaking about cocaine in doll's house. I'm not naive and i know that it was as normal asi smoking, I'm just curious. Are you able to distinguish between sober Freddie and high Freddie?

I highly doubt he was doing coke in 1990. He wasn't even smoking or drinking at the end.
