You have to remember that John & Freddie were both outsiders in terms of being the last two to join the band - Brian & Roger had known each other much longer.
I'd be willing to wager that Freddie was more supportive of John in the early days for this reason alone and that means that John probably had a greater love and respect for Freddie and "Queen" than either Brian or Roger.
THIS is why John has been so against what the Queen name has been put to in recent years.

Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that John's dad died when he was a kid and it was kind of too much for him when Freddie died too. I think people should give Deaky some slack. Anyway, not to sound too nosy, but does anyone know what they said to each other (Brian, Freddie and Roger) the last time they met? If this is a load of crap just tell me and I'll shut up.
Yeah, I think that was the place where I read it.. something about his father.
I also read that Freddie had always been like a big brother to John. When I read that I relized what 'Friends Will Be Friends' was about. Now I think this is so cute and beautiful song. About their friendship :) :)
FWBF could just as well be pure throw-away...and some of those speculations are way OTT.
It doesn't matter what you read, but where you read it.

Brian and Roger saw him at last week before he died, dunno about Deaky.
How did ya know that?
I got from a reliable source that after Freddie passed away, John hid away in his studio for days. He was absolutely devastated.
I hope you don't mind if I add my tuppence worth.
When John joined Queen he was 20 and Freddie was 25. That's quite a difference at that age. Together with Freddie's personality I think he must have had quite an impact on John.
Obviously I have nothing to back any of this up.
Cheers!

When was the last time Brian, Roger and John saw Freddie? I would use the search thingy, but for some reason it won't work.
You mean the last time they saw him alive or his body before the funeral?
Just to let you guys know I agree totally with the John thing. I mean "Friends Will be Friends" is one of my favorite songs. It's so full of meaning and it's even more special that Fred and John wrote it together.
I also find that I agree with Foxxy 100% of the time on posts. Maybe we where seperated at birth or something.
An interesting conclusion... what do you look like bassist??? lol.
I've read all these messages its good to see some people thinking its cute that Freddie and Johnnie were great mates. I'd be devestated two if my best friend died and we had known eachother for that long. Especially during the hard times. Dealing with death is a hard HARD thing to do and I have never met anyone who said it was easy.
