Interview with Montsy was shared here not a long time ago.


it was on the Queen For An Hour - bank holiday monday may 1989 radio 1 bbc interview


"Bassinger" came from "Headlong" shootings, November 1990, it's on Innuendo EPK, as I remember. It's video, not audio.[/QUOTE]

~confirmed by Serry~

I'd love it if one day we had the whole 'jukebox' one. Might not be his 'last' video one per se, but it'd certainly rank as one of the more interesting ones (judging from what I've seen anyway. I love it when he says 'we're doing opera now. Forget rock and roll!').

Thanks for that clip. Haven`t actually seen that before.

As i remember and this is a few years ago the last video interview as such would be certainly the monserrat video or defintely the jukebox one as i can't think of any other official source.

As for audio 'mike read queen for an hour' would certainly be the last audio interview or near enough , but i'm certain the daily mail published an interview in the summer of 91 i remember vividly because i was delivering daily papers all those years ago and it was by David wigg.

What i can't rememeber was the content of this interview but i can't seem them publishing a interview in a daily paper 4 years after it just doesn't make sense , it would have been in there sooner.

So to conclude then in my opinion there must have been a interview with freddie in the spring or summer of 91 by David wigg.

Is there anyway we can find out?.

Probably I know what you're talking about. I've read "The last Freddie interview by David Wigg" in one of Daily Express (November 1991), but it wasn't proper interview - it was a bunch of quotes from different Freddie interviews, some of them were in the mid-80s.

I think if there was a REAL interview from late 1991 - we would know about it without any doubts, IMHO.

That's probably what it was then a collage of different comments from interviews from 84 and 87 and i think logically if he was only having doctors and very close friends visit him it would be easier to compile something already written and done ,and then cut and paste to suit the reader.

Yes serry i think you're right mate but i just thought Can you imagine how the fuck jim beach felt after being with him for five and a half hours with all this heavy news about his health and to never see him alive again.

Thanks for that interview clip, i really appreciate it. And who would have thought that would hve been his last time interviewed on film, for a great man who achieved so much on film its sad that he didnt do anything more in depth at a later date, oh well.
And as for the last written interview im guessing that it was in 87? Did he not do any formal interviews for the Barcelona album in 88?
Thanks again everybody.

Yes Pauolos freddie did a semi-formal interview for Q Magazine during the launch party. Rather spookily, he said that he would be looking forward to playing live with Queen again the followng year,as they'd started work on The Miracle.

Not sure if im allowed to link to external sites but here IS the Freddie Mercury interview from December 88, surely his last with the press:

I've been searching for that picture of Freddie with King of Spain for the years... Thanks, mate! Though on the pic I've seen many years before he was shaking hand of King, and Nureyev was behind him.

Well, the thing is this:

If there was a real all-new last interview from sometime in 1991, the interviewer must know that Freddie was very ill then.

So, most of the interview had to be a lot about the disease, Freddie's fight, legacy, etc.

Hence, such an important interview MUST have come out already. Otherwise, why bother to do it in the first place?

Just my thoughts...
