Does anyone find it a bit odd

that freddie died at the age of 46, the same yr he was born?
muchmoremusic here in canada finally aired vhi's queens' legends' tonight:-)

He was 45 when he died, though.

45, most definitely...
You JUST saw Legends for the first time? Wow. It took a long time to get to Canada! ;-)

yeah doesnt the legends show say he was 46 when he died on the 25th of November..tut tut

I hate it when they can't even get their birthday right...I saw the Legends about 6-7 years ago and I didn't think it was that good...

I like Legends. One of the first shows that got me hooked on Queen. BTW, Fredrica... Interesting profile pic.

Even if he was then I don't find anything strange about it.
There must be thousands, perhaps millions of people who die the 'same year' like this.

Nah, it's been here for years...

Don't find it that odd, even if it were true. Coincidences happen.

Didn't shakespeare die on his birthday?

bet that ruined the party!

Jesus can impossibly have died the same year as his age, because he was neither born 1 B.C. nor 1 A.D. (the year zero doesn't exist, by the way), but sometime before 4 B.C. (the most recent theory has been 12 B.C.), whilst his death should have been in the early 30s.
The entire Christian chronology is the result of a miscalculation commited in the early medieval ages. It's actually not that long ago since modern historians have been able to come up with really reliable dates for ancient history (thanks to astronomy).

Didn't King Herod die in 7 B.C?

4 BC. King Herod the Great, that is.

Oh my god Fredricca you find out the answer of all our questions.
You know Freddie was the Messiahs, he guided our lives with his music.
And the thing that proves it is his birthday and his age of dying.
It looks a lot like the death of Jezus but only Jezus died in the same year as his age.
He was 33 (I believe) and he died 33 years after Christus.
I think now heaven’s open for all people, a new age will come soon.
What we first called: hale luia, will now be DAY OH
I’ll get the paper and you will write the new Bible.
Cause all the Queen fans are the apostles, of the new age.

Careful not to drool on your keyboard. ;)

The lyrics of Great King Rat are the most eerie thing IMHO about Freddie's big gig in the sky...
