Just browsing around the Freddie portion of the Pictures on this site...

When was this picture taken? It's Freddie & Annie Lennox:

And then these-- were they taken from a personal collection?

Mex, hello there old pal... that's what I THOUGHT but Freddie looked pretty damn good in that picture, and at the Brit Awards, he looked like shite... did you ever see that VH1 special on World AIDS Day (AIDS: A Pop Culture History)?

Well, they had film of Freddie that day in the car and he looked like hell and it scared me. That picture doesn't scare me. :-[

hello there young good looking thing

you are correct, he looks more like the era of the Great Pretender video, i've seen that pic before, but can't remember where it was taken from

I don't know about the first one, but the final three are taken from Jim Hutton's book, Mercury and Me.

Mex, I know I'm good looking... don't have to remind me ;)

Janet-- thanks! I can't find the book anywhere and I'm a bit wary of ebay because I'm actually having a bad experience right now with someone who I bought DVDs from... queencollector.com. Not answering my emails. :(

What is this... talk of beer and then a quote about being drunk in your sig?

It's AA for you, my friend.

It's actually Tequila, and don't worry, I don't need AA, I know my limitations, only a bottle a day

I should know the Annie Lennox pic, being a huge fan of hers but I can't say exactly. Her hairstyle suggests 1987 but Freddie looks too thin for 87 so I dunno.

But here are the captions from 'Mercury And Me' for the other three. They are color in the book and cropped more than these, so they aren't scanned from there but are the same pictures:

1. Barbara Valentin and Freddie the night he wrote the song 'Delilah', dedicated to his favourite cat.

2. Freddie's last Christmas, 1990, with Joe and his bird.

3. For Mary's birthday in 1990 Freddie cooked up a feline surprise.

According to the book, 'Delilah' was written in Montreux in 1990, but I can't find a specific date mentioned nearby except it was between Mary's son Richard being born and Joe Fennelli's birthday. So all three of those are from 1990.

Interestingly, 'A Winter's Tale' was written before 'Delilah' :)
