      It still would have been pointless. Someone dying of AIDS, especially in those days was a fraction of the shadow of their former healthier selves when drawing closer to death. I don't even think Freddie was able to communicate properly the last few weeks of his life. Scary disease and terribly sad loss.

      Queen are family. How many bands can say that, they are family, after 50 years ?. Not many bands can say that, that's for sure. Brian May, and Roger Taylor love talking about their lives, and times they shared with Freddie Mercury, and John Deacon. Queen are legendary. Even though, Freddie Mercury died, in 1991, and John Deacon retired, after the death of Freddie Mercury. Thank you, for your music, your memories, your humanity, your legacy, and your legend, Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon, Queen.

      Actually its trough misery that makes you find out if the people you call "friends" are actually friends or just selfish bastards who may deserve an Oscar for pretending so well to be a "friend". And the more horrible the misery the more clear that becomes.
      Now I don't envy Freddie for the fate he met, but I think that it *is* clear that the people who thought to be friends actually WERE friends who stayed with him as long as they could up to the very end. And most people can hardly imagine what it must have meant for him as only a few get into the situation they really get to know their friends. And if Freddie is to be envied for something during this horrible story, it's for having friends like that.

      My brother died earlier this year, my sister and I were going to visit him, we knew he hadn't got long to live. On the way the hospice phoned my sister to say he had passed away. If they had told her in the same way that Freestone told Roger we'd have been really angry and upset.

    I remember the music "Made in Heaven" and i just agree with it totally, Freddie was Made in Heaven, and his legacy will go on to the world last living moments

I cannot imagine a normal human can have such a strong will power that FREDDIE had, he knew he is on the doorstep of death but he still wanted to do music not for his own self but for his fans and for his lovers. This is the one of the main reason why I love him so much because he told life how to live, how to face worries and not minor worries but worries like death.
