Ok, this has been talked about before, about Freddie's change in his mannerism's and personality around the last couple years of his life, but does anyone know for sure when Freddie knew without a doubt that he was ill?

Do many of you think he knew something during Live Aid in 85', Wembley '86? During "Great Pretender" in 87'?

He was so private.

Now, from what I gather with interviews with Brian..the band knew something was up when Freddie didn't want to tour, but when did he tell the band....Brian's most recent interviews sound as though he didn't confirm what it was with the band until months before his death.

Does anyone know the timeline on this for sure?

Can't you just concentrate more on the music of Queen?

He got sick at around late in'86-early in '87, so definitely while doing the great pretender, and obviously, the rest of his career/life.
That time will come, one day you'll see, when we can all be friends.

oo la la

Last I checked, Richard said this board was for SERIOUS discussion. I don't see 'stupid gossip about the band's private lives' fitting under that catagory.

Zander,

The last I checked, you were replying to topics like "Weirdest Queen song".

Which of course is a "serious topic of discussion".

Stop complaining please
Anything too stupid to be said... is sung.

Right on Rien, the topics of late are getting more & more juvenile. This has been talked about a hundred times over! Lets move on.

I'm with Hitman. Why must we CONSTANTLY fight on this board?

Exactly...if a person doesn't like a topic, then why not skip it and go on to the next thread.

I asked this original question, then got bombarded with "Why not just focus on the music".


My Answer: Obviously I love the music too.... but think of all the books on the market that tell the story of Freddie's personal life, not to mention the dvds out (several in which I own).

Who are buying these?
Obviously they wouldn't keep making them if no one cared.

Some of you think its SICK that some of us Queen fans want to know more about the person than just the music.....so let me ask again, who are these "behind the music" documentry's made for??

Non Queen fans??

On here, you are almost too scared to post anything....you either get:

"Dad says that we aren't allowed to discuss that."
OR
"That topic was covered Jan.28th 2005 at 3:16 p.m you stupid sonofabitch."

I can't believe I'm posting in this stupido thread...

listen, if someone asks a question, just answer it, or point them to an answer that someone else has already posted. No need to rag on them - complaining that the forum is degrading just degrades it more, eh?

He did tell them. He told them then he said if it was mentioned again there would be hell on. Probably at the start of The Miracle sessions.

Have you lot looked at this forum much? Its gone form asking a reasonable question about when people thought the band knew about Freddies last few moments of his life to a bitch fight, i say if u lot want to fight make a new forum called "BITCH FIGHTING ONLY!" dont do it on someone elses forum when he just wants to ask a question and get either the truth or some peoples opinions, not some sad ass freak bitchin on every chance he/she gets! take it elsewhere!
