One evening, Freddie's Birthday party was being planned and a photographer wanted to do a photo shoot. He made a deal with Queen that he would get the cake and then could take pictures. So he asked Brian,Roger,and John what Freddie would want on his cake. It was agreed that the cake would have two large naked breasts on top. At the party, the photographer anxiously awaited Freddie's entrance to cut his cake. But instead, to everyone's surprise, Freddie entered the room and looked around and became enraged. He screamed out,"I just want everyone to leave me the f___ alone!" Then he stormed out:(
He also fought quite a bit with his lovers in the early days. Especially with Winnie Kerschberger. On many occasions there were screaming matches to be heard from the halls and during one incident Freddie got his hand severely bitten and he was to attend an interview the next day!:)[/QUOTE]
What year was this birthday party fiasco??

I believe it was in the 80's(I'll have to consult my book again). I read it in 'Freddie Mercury-The Definitive Biography' by Leslie-Ann Jones. It goes on to discuss why he may have reacted like that(e.g. he was extremely nervous before a big show, or his illness was beginning to affect his mind).

I'm reading Jim's book right now and I'm half way through. From what I've read so far I have the impression that Freddie was kind of spoiled. Everybody around him did his best to please him, not just because they were working for him. They all certainly cared for him, and also knew that he demanded the best. Jim said Freddie couldn't hear the word "no" :-). And yes, maybe they were also trying to flatter him a bit to keep being part of his circle, who knows.
Freddie did have mood swings and could be a "naughty boy" sometimes, but in the end he had a heart of gold and could never hurt anyone, not even animals. For instance, he couldn't stand spiders, so he'd ask Jim to catch them but to throw them out, not to kill them!
Jim says he often felt sorry for Freddie, and I can relate to what he says. Because he was surrounded by lots of people trying to please him, but he could never be sure about their feelings, whether they cared for him or his fame (take the Paul Prenter's incident). Freddie was surrounded by people, had wild parties...and yet he often felt alone. And the press haunted him. He couldn't even go to the restroom alone when he was in a public place.
I know that's the price you pay for fame...But it can also drive you mad sometimes, so I guess this is where some of his mood swings came from, not just cocaine.
Love you Freddie!

There is an anecdote that happened in Buenos Aires: some journalist asked him why had he invited Diego Maradona to share the stage after their show in 1981, he had already been asked that question a hundred times, he looked at the guy and told him that he had to acknowledge he had a son. Ironic don`t you think?

Well, I found this on QOL, don't know if that's true, but was published on a newspaper the day after he died. Well, the paper was trying to show he had a very dark personality side apart from the kind and funny people were used to.
This is an excerpt from it:
But he could be a bitch. A record company executive told how Freddie flipped in Munich, one of his regular haunts.
The boss said: "We were cruising in a limo, drinking, taking drugs and watching TV.
"Freddie's latest young boy switched channels and Freddie went bonkers, shouting and screaming.
"He told the chauffeur to stop the car and physically kicked the kid out, leaving him stranded miles from anywhere.
"Then we went to find Freddie another friend."
The star also loved New York, particularly a club called The Mineshaft, which is notorious for violent gay practices.

Freddie used cocaine?
Gee I didn't know that. I knew he was a heavy drinker and smoker but I didn't know he was into the powder.
