Would Freddie have been fit enough to tour in 1989 ?

sure!from watching "the invisible man"video, he was hopping around the kid, sure he would have been fit enough!

The hopping and the prancing and the whatnot is very inconclusive in regards to Freddie's health. Be aware that shooting a video can take anywhere from 1 hour to 1 year, so your deductions are a bit skewed, say-o.

I don't think so, not for a real concert. But he looks very fit in the "the incisible Man" Video. so

'The Incisible Man'

Poor fellow. Aren't we all?

I'm not sure about 'Headlong' filming dates (some of footages are dates to April 1991) - single was released in USA at the same time with UK's release of Innuendo, and I guess that two promo videos had to be showed at the same time...

With the amazing advances in medical science today - maybe he could have done another tour. But in '89, definately not. Because there wasn't as much known then, Freddie's health often got the best of him. One day, he'd be just fine, but maybe hours later, feel like sh*t. And also, with his health at the time, I don't think he'd be able to work with all the traveling and climate changes and all that stuff that can really mess with you.

No. Not at all.

I think I'd rather remember The Magic Tour with it's gains rather than 'The Miracle' tour with it's losses.

I think Brian or Roger says when they were making The Miracle videos that Freddie was already very sick, and could only work for short periods of time before he had to rest. It's really easy to spend an entire day filming a video for a four minute song, then cut all the footage together to make it look "perfect". As others have said, it's pretty clear there's no way Freddie could have toured in 89.

NO

It was a miracle that he was able to work so long to make a video. I guess if he tour that would ruin hi shealth entirely and it`s possible that we wouldn`t hear "Innuendo" album. And that would be a great loss.

Yeah - I`m listening "Innuendo" album just right now, "I Can`t Live With You" to be precise.

remember a tour is not just 1 two hour concert, it's weeks of em. How would a dying man do them all?

He most probably definatly wouldn't be well enough. You can also tell just how ill he was because in the breakthru video he looked pretty fit and well but by the miracle he looked liked he had lossed alot of weight and looked fragile.
I think he might just of been able to in early to mid 1988 though.

lossed???



Anyway, Freddie looked better in that blue shirt than he did in the yellow jumper, im not too sure about it being filmed in april 91! Headlong was released in the uk on may 13th 91. TATDOOL was filmed in may 91 and Fred looked a hell of a lot worse than the HL vid, I dont think there was a 4 month gap in filming.

Im glad they stopped in 86. Although I never saw them live, Id go with Rien, they would have had to go bigger than the Magic tour and Fred wouldnt have been upto it. If theyed have toured then Fred probably wouldnt have lasted as long as he did. And we might not have even seem MIH!

Actually Fred looks okay in all 'The Miracle' videos ('Scandal' has some unusual things with the lights and colors, maybe that's why he looks not good, but watch to 'A Kind Of Magic' - in the begining his face is about white, but it's just make-up and lights). We know he was sick and now we say 'he looks bad', but if'd back to 1989 we wouldn't say this.

The same goes with 'Innuendo' video - I don't like when someone says that he wasn't filmed there because of his health. He filmed at Headlong, Slightly Mad, Days of our lives, but couldn't be in 'Innuendo'? It is a great and very art video and there is nothing connects with Freddie's health, otherwise what we could say about 'Under Pressure' and 'Bicycle Race'? Different kind of video and that's all.

I don't think he could make a tour. Even his public appearances were so rare and short. Besides, even if he could, I'm not sure that he wanted...

Actually, it seems pretty obvious that Freddie lost a lot of weight... and I still think that he looks 'odd' in the Scandal video... the Make-up looks so pale. Just strange. Breakthru however shows him in great spirit.
Dunno why, but Freddie seemed to have changed much more than the other members, though I cannot tell you why.

Nobody can tell you for sure whether he was in good enough shape. Only he himself. And we need fatty to communicate with him...
