    I should add, a great loss - he was such a brilliant showman.

                  Blimey! The son of a friend of ours named his baby Freddie (he was a big fan, obviously) at that time. I can't believe he'll be 23 this year. Blimey again!

                    Blimey can't believe its that long. Remember he did the news conference one day and he seemed to die a few days later. Would love to of seen Queen play live.

                      That's right NVG, the press were hounding for news as they knew he was ill. However he decided to release the news to the media & died the next day.

                        Didn't Queen release 'These are the days of our lives' when he died? I bought the single - it was very moving.

                        PS I saw Queen live at Knebworth for the it's a Kind of Magic tour. Wonderful to be there, of course, but I can honestly say that I hardly saw a thing of the band as they were about 4 miles away.

                          Yes Haze, they released it after he died. I bet Knebworth was electric. 1986 I believe in front of 120,000. They released some really poignant albums around the time of his illness. Innuendo especially.

                              Well I guess one of the good things about being so old, its that I got to be alive and listen to that great music at the time!

                              As for being a showman! Well, for all the other poses and shows he put on I still remember him in that miniskirt and hair rollers pushing a vac around - was just the funniest thing at the time
