In the "Queen rocks" VHS, you can see 3 or 4 seconds of a tired, bearded Freddie, sitting in front of a mixing desk, telling a few words to the DoRo's camera. I think it has been recorded during a band photo shoot, circa May 91, or even later. I wonder if it's not Freddie's last ever videotaped interview and if there is not more of it "in the can". We all know that "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" is the last video ever: Roger and John had been interviewed during the shooting, but Freddie?

I suspect he cut down his interviews because he didn't have the energy or the time to fart around. Making a video, a filmclip, or even just shooting an interview can be a very long process - and I don't really think he had all the time in the world to give to that kind of caper.
Very professionally he still put in a lot of time to this sort of stuff - with his health the way it was he could've just stopped all interviews, filmclips and public appearances a lot earlier, but he didn't. At least not till 1990ish.
That interview sounds like it'd be during the Headlong shoot? I don't have whatever interview you're talking about, but in this Queen documentary I have there's bits of 'Headlong' video that aren't in the filmclip, so it's probably the same.

No, it wasn't during during the Headlong video recording. Freddie doesn't have the wig and has no make-up. I think it was during a photo shooting, because I had a picture of this session (he wears a red shirt).
Hmmm, interesting.
Maybe you should post a still so people know what yer talking about?
And... what wig?

And also, keep in mind if it's May 91 he'd be VERY ill looking, for that is when they shot the These are the Days of our lives video.
Maybe it's earlier, like from the time of The Miracle?

Doesn't he wear a wig for I'm Going Slightly Mad? It doesn't look like natural hair... Maybe I'm wrong...
Well i mentioned this in another thread but Freddie did a interview just before "These are the days of our lives" when he told the cameras he had told the band he had Aids, but this interivew was and still is banned cos it shows Freddie Startin to cry and you can hear the camera crew in disbelief at what he just told them, i had found this over Limewire abut i accidetnlly deleted this when clearin my computer and now i cant find it(just incase anyone asks about it!)
I... didn't know about this. I'm so sorry, I don't know what to think... It's not the interview I was talking about, but I thank you for the information. Freddie was incredibly courageous to tell this in such a situation - he could hardly stand, let alone walk... I don't know, I really don't know, I'm just... horribly sorry... I didn't know.
P.S. I don't have the mentioned picture anymore, but I think I can find it in another site's gallery.

taylorgaga, that sounds iffy. I'm pretty sure nothin' like that ever happened. But I love to be proven wrong.
And FreddieF, when I said 'wig?' I was actually talking about Headlong. Of course it was a wig in Slightly Mad :P

If taylorgaga is right (what I seriously doubt) then that does mean there's a heavy interview lying around, that of "These are the days of our lives".
It seems interesting to know what Freddie told during that interviews, maybe his view at life, or his thoughts about Queen after his passing.
But maybe that's to far fetched...

Isn't there a interview at the headlong video in which Freddie says:"Hi my name is Kim Basinger"?
I dunno, I don't want to call 'liar' on anyone but it doesn't sound right to me. I have a feeling that it'd be common knowledge if it actually existed.
I mean - he kept his illness such a closely guarded secret. If he'd blabbed on camera, people present on the set would've blabbed in turn to friends and family... it's just how it goes.
You are right Zebonka.
That's why its hard to believe.

I think I'll put it slightly below the Roger Taylor sex vid as far as believability goes. I believe it if I see it - but I don't want to see, because I prefer to remember Queen in a different light than crying and extremely ill or naked.
