I was wondering what the name of the medicine was that they gave freddie that he so boldly stopped taking, and died shortly after.
i was also wondering if someone would have some pictures handy of him while infected[/QUOTE] I believe he stopped the AZT.

However, why you need to be given pictures i dont know, as perhaps all of them are readily available not only on the web, but as official releases.

OMG!!! Gary already looked "very sick" to me way back then...
Never knew that Fred ever visited "him and his kids" in Thailand...?!? ;-)

(The last three are from the time video, but i believe that there is evidence of AZT side-effects already visible, meaning he most likely had AIDS in 86)

I've got a cure for the bird flu. It's the cat flu.

Sup Jaime (lol talking to people you don't know like you know them is a good way to be successful in business fyi) the drug was called AZT. It's still in use as a cocktail with other drugs.

This may depress some but in the early days doctors where prescribing way too high of a dose. Which increased the side effects which included fatigue, headaches, nausea, stuff like that. That was the reason Freddie didn't have a lot of energy even "early on". He wasn't necessarily "sick" during recording the miracle, which is why he didn't look that ill during that phase, he was just going through the side effects of AZT probably.

It was keeping him alive though and he decided to accept his fate and go off it. The sad part is if he probably would've held on a few more months because of breakthroughs he probably could've lived considerably longer. The quality of life he would've had is up to debate since he was losing his site and things of that nature. I don't think you can reverse things like that.

Always thought that he refused to take Wick MediNight any longer!?

But what finally must have killed him... now I can see... MUST have been this pic taken of him with Gary Glitter! ;-)

I think that evidence of the use of AZT on him is visible early on, i mean, look at him on the works tour, and then the magic tour, maybe even live aid. The shape of his face is different, ie:
His cheek bones seem to be wide rather than high
his face looks fatter
and his eyelids are a little droopy

All through the 80s like Live Aid and the Magic Tour his face was normal and in the Barcelona sort of era he kind of bloated out a bit. His face was more round then in like '89 his face went thin. And in the 90s his face just looks so bad. His eyes looked different and I can't believe it was him.

He changed so dramatically. If you look at an 80s pic then a 90s one it looks like 2 different people. It's awful.

I agree- there is a definite difference; he had that bloated- overweight look between late '85 and '89- he also looked paler on The Magic Tour- slightly discoloured I thought.

I think the brit Award photos are interesting- on some of them, I think he actualy looks quite well- particularly cutting the cake and the one with George Michael but on others he looks awful-possibly to do with the light,camera angle and time taken- I rmeember he got a bit tired and left early.

And on this one he looks nearly unregonisable.
