tomorrow (or today if you're reading this later)

Right before all the bleeding hearts start their morose whining, let's get one thing straight.

no whining, no moaning, no crying and no "it's the end of the world" stuff, ok - and no pathetic outpourings of emotion

let's mark tomorrow with some dignity and class. Remember the music dear freddie bequeathed us, listen to a queen song or two and look back fondly at what was an outstanding musical genius...remember it's 13 years - we should all have got on with your lives by now, and the day should serve as a reminder of the good stuff - nothing more, nothing less!!!

Well said, sir.

I may drink a glass of wine in his honor, maybe go out of my way to listen to a song or two, but I doubt I'll make too much of a big deal about it.

Hi, yes, let's remember Freddie in a nice way, maybe listen to his music, watch a DVD, and enjoy the experience. I listen to Queen everyday anyway...
To avoid all this "morose whining", I have started another topic to reflect on where Freddie would be today if he was still around.
Cheers Freddie RIP

I totally think so...
I always think about him everyday...not only this day but also rest of the days.
I hear he was a very lively man. He used to enjoy life merrily.
I'm going to tell him about everything joyful that I recently have had.
In his honor, in honor of his great works, in honor of his life being a rock star, I also drink a toast to him with some champagne he loved so much.
I love his banters and his "Cheers!" to the audience.
Freddie, Cheers! as you used to say... RIP

I agree. I tend to think of these types of things as a celebration of life rather than a mourning of death. Celebrate what great things he did during his lifetime.

As Brian mentioned at the beginning of The Freddie Mercury Tribute...

"We're here to celebrate the life, the work, and dreams of one Freddie Mercury".

you have a really good point.... why bother crying about the death of one of this century's greatest artist, when we should celebrate! i know i am (well, after work....) with a few drinks! RIP Freddie!

whoops! i just read my reply.... i dont mean "celebrate that he died" i mean "celebrate his life" hehe...sorry... im in a hurry, and didnt realise...

Bollocks to you killjoys!

I'm dusting down my 'Magic' jacket as we speak and sticking on my lovely moustache.

Bit of 'We are the Champions' down the Arndale will go down a treat with the coffin dodgers.

Will then play out Freddie's final hours as he would have according to Peter Freestone before peeing myself at about quarter to seven.

Call yourselves Queen fans!!!

I'm meant to be going to college today but i dont feel to well so i'm going to sit at home and listen to every Queen album and B side there is. I know it sounds a bit silly but its something to do and its in memory of the greatest singer and live performer in the world EVER! I may even watch a few concerts and videos like Wembley, Budapest, Rio etc. Its not about thinking of how long ago he died its about celebrating the live of the best rock artist ever. At the moment i'm listening to My Fairy King from Queen 1.

Is anyone else listening to much Queen today? I've already listened to Queen and Queen II. I'm now listening to Sheer Heart Attack.

A very sad day today...
I always listen to Made in Heaven this day every year...:(

I'll be listening to that soon. Its a very sad album but one of my favourites.

Quiet day at work, listening to Queen ll :-

'Today the cloud it hangs over us and all is grey.
But someday, oneday.......'

RIP Freddie.

Last night I watched the first few tracks of Live at Milton Keynes and had a glass of champagne.

Here's to you Freddie! We still miss you.
