By the way, I love it when 7 year old topics get brought back to life, haha :).
For instance, the famous "Brian's curse" one.

It is obviously immoral to do that, etc., etc., but it's not as if he killed or raped anyone anyway, so devil's spawn is uncalled for, actually.
Brian cheated on his wife, does it make him a bad person?

No. It makes him badass.
I am really hurt by this article .
I find some of the comments utterly heartless . (You know who you are !)
To say comments like I hope he's dead and I'll kill him if he isn't ! Wow !
I don't think any of you know the real story so to pass comment like that -especially such hurtful Comments -is simply "inhumane" .
Yes Paul Prenter , my godfather ,is dead . He also died of Aids (as Freddy did) . That is a death I wouldn't wish on anyone - for them or their loved ones!
Please be careful what you say because you don't know who you could be hurting . It's very easy to sit behind a screen and pass judgement on others so be wary .
Paul was somebody's son - brother - uncle- godfather .

So was Hitler.
No offense to you but you were a child when all this happened and you were hardly kept up to date about what really happened at the time, I would read up on Paul if I were you, he was not a nice person.
She was probably a child when this thread was started, since those comments were made almost 10 years ago!
Of course, nobody deserves such a horrible death, not Freddie, and not Paul either, regardless of what he did to Freddie.

A lot of the stuff written online about people can be hurtful to those who have some personal connection with the person who is written about. Paul Prenter was a person who cast himself into the limelight by (a) knowing Freddie and (b) selling garbage to the tabloids. He made himself infamous in Queen circles, and thus it is normal that he is talked about.
Had he been just another of Freddie's not famous friends, then I agree that it would not be appropriate to discuss him, as he would have been an entirely private individual. But he brought the attention on himself.
As to how much of what is said of Prenter is true, none of us really know, as I'm sure none of us where there. Both Brian and Roger have mentioned him in passing, and both don't have a good opinion of him. I think that says enough. Maybe we shouldn't speculate further.

Incorrect, sir. On this forum there are many regular posters who have worked with Queen or its members, in the past and present. They just maintain a sense of anonymity. There is a lot of depth behind these user names and avatars.
There are definitely people here who encountered Prenter and would be the first to tell you from first hand accounts that he's the single worst thing that ever happened to the band.

I stand corrected. Knew there were some people here with some real life connections to Queen, but wasn't quite sure that anyone actually met Prenter.
This just solidifies what Jim etc. have written.
Was Prenter a black man?

No, he was kind of blue/purplish.
...a smurff... he just HAD to be colored to cause so much trouble.

Paul would always tell men he met that he wanted to “make babies” with them.
About Hot Space, Mack said Prenter's influence was not so strong as May and Roger said.
