It seems unbelievable but some idiots have splashed blue paint on Freddie's statue in Montreux.What a terrible thing to do to the great man.I can't think why somebody would do that sort of thing.
What a disgrace
A oh, in this forum I have to say : what a fuckin idiots .....
Punishable by hanging, I reckon. Or firing squad. Really disgusting that someone would do this - but it's not the first time and it won't be the last. The world is full of mindless idiots.
Off with their heads or at least a punch to the throat, dear me.. yobs.
oo la la
What kind of sick cunt would do that? Unbelievable.
This place used to be great, but now it is an absolute joke. For serious Queen discussion, please visit http://www.queenforum.net
Well I think Homophobes could done this.
"Punishable by hanging, I reckon. Or firing squad."

Seems a bit over the top. I mean, there's a perfectly good lake right there.

A lump of concrete and a length of rope - job done. No mess, no fuss.
Fucking wankers, fighting with dead people.
Absolutely shameful

Can't believe the out-pouring of anger for something that happened six months ago! This appears to be from July 2019 - and was cleaned up the next morning. A simple google found this: https://metalheadzone.com/queen-legend-freddie-mercurys-statute-vandalised-badly/
There are no 2020 links - so this does not appear to be "news".

Not the first time either, statue as covered in green phosphorescent paint back in 2017.

FWIW - it's not the hanging offence some (here) have claimed. This kind of thing frequently happens to statues of public figures. Vandals, drunks, pranksters, or protesters tend to be the usual culprits - but it's not harming any legacy, as such.

The last comment (quoted above) is a hell of a leap to make. Yes just as easily anyone else "could done" [sic]. Get off your precarious soapbox.

I would love to go to visit Montreux and see Freddie's statue and look out across the lake,it must be beautiful.Unfortunatley I am not well enough to travel and don't have the money.One day,one day.

I couldn't find any links online at all regarding it too mate other than the aforementioned ones from 2017 and 2019. I presume that someone had seen it first hand.

Why are you so angry? I understand that desecrating the monument to your hero causes you nothing but anger, but you do not need to attack commentators. We are also upset and angry.
