Absolutely, Roger's power and range gave Freddy the freedom to fly, gave him the underpinning that allowed him to stretch. People don't realize how much a great backup singer does for the lead. You listen to Pat Benatar, most of her work was her doing her own, and even live a good bit of the time. There just weren't enough singers that could do what she needed. Mot of her lead vocals were in the middle of her range, and her backups were below and above, layered in 7ths and 9ths as well as sometimes two octaves above with full inflections and emotions.
@@wolf762x51 well said indeed. I always focus on Rogers vocals as i think hes amazing but most people only hear Freddie which means they miss out on another aspect of Queens wonderful sound.
Theeeee Greatest, How can anyone watch this and have a doubt. QUEEN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the first time I've ever seen someone say don't subscribe until you've actually watched my content and like it. So sick of the immediate request to subscribe. Well done dude.
Freddie had a pitch perfect voice and had the talent to entertain everybody in the audience, didn't matter if you were standing front row or standing way in the back! Freddie is BOSS!
Best unofficial Heineken beer commercial ever!!!😂(top of piano) Now let's talk about John Deacon! In every single live performance with queen, he looks like he's strolling through the home depot picking out paint. 😂😂😂
This was from LIVE AID which was a benefit concert to provide funds for the famine in Ethiopia. You should check out this concert. Freddie Mercury led the entire crowd in singing exercise. It was crazy how he was able to get the tens of thousands of people that were in Wembley Stadium to sing on key! He was truly masterful.
LIVE-AID 1985 in HD....you WILL find the pinnacle of Freddie's charisma and the hold he had on the fans. It's 24 minutes that you wish you'd been there for. This is the one that slays them all!
Alive and in concert - wow this group of four who became one with each performance was the very definition of awesome. Their talent is above and beyond and I love being 70 and seeing this young guy feeling and reacting as I/we did back in the 70's. Good music is universal and timeless and is found in all genre's. Thanks for what you do.
I have never in my life wanted to or been inspired to throw my bra on stage during a concert. I'm not wired that way. I mean I literally don't feel those types of emotions. But this music speaks to me on such a level that if I'd ever been able to attend any Queen concerts at the time, I likely would've embarrassed myself.
I love how at 4:06 when he holds that note and twist around it sounds like he throws his voice into Brian's guitar and it carries the note on out for him. Pure skill!
According to what he says in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie "I couldn't sing off key if I wanted to" but that could be wrong! He may not have said that in real life
when those 2 songs first came out, I began grieving his demise...it was so sad then and now...so talented he was...RIP Freddie...surely missed, you are!
Who wants to live forever was used in the original Highlander movie. Then in the 90's tv spinoff it was always played near the end just before the end credits.
During one performance, early in Queen's career, Freddie tried raising the mic stand and it broke off. He went on performing with the stand in hand and liked it. It became his trademark.
I was fortunate enough to see Queen live in 1978, fantastic show. Two of my favorites, out of many, are Melancholy Blues from the News Of The World album Freddie's singing on that song is fabulous and '39 from A Night At The Opera, that song is written and sung by Brian May. Great reaction, keep doing what you're doing.
Freddie is so awesome! He is so awesome that they have a 4 day celebration and birthday for Freddie Mercury every year in Montreux, Switzerland. Fans from all over the world are there. I go every year and I'm from Massachusetts
He is six years older here than he was in the original Bohemian Rhapsody video. You can kind of tell what year it is by Freddie's look. The thin, long haired look was his early to mid-70's look, the "Bohemian Rhapsody" look. Then shorter hair but no moustache in the late 70s. The moustache started to come in the early 80s and he got a bit more muscular by the mid-80s during the Live Aid era. In some of their late 80s videos he started to grow a beard to help cover places on his skin from battling AIDS. And, of course, he was very thin and emaciated in his last appearances. Does that sound about right to other Queen fans?
Sounds spot on to me. I'd just add that his look here and in Live Aid is called "The Castro Look" as it was popular in the gay community in the Castro area of San Francisco during those years. Included that type of t-shirt and skinny jeans.
Qthelost yup pretty much right on. Maybe add that around late 87 to 89ish he got extremely puffy due to the aids medication which made his poor face puff up a bit :(
"Don't Stop Me Now" is one of my faves, I think you'll like it too. Also, anything from the "It's A Kind Of Magic" album. Because a lot of that was used in the Highlander film. :D
My fav live performance of this song ❤️ Freddie that high note he hits he just blows me away so glad I had more time to enjoy Queens music I’m a 1972 baby . Also glad the younger generations are being introduced to Queens music 🎵 thanks for another honest reaction 👍
Baby boomer here - was in college when "Bohemian Rhapsody" came out. I heard so many of his songs on the radio but had no idea what he looked like until I began watching these videos....lol.
Well, the Bo Rap you saw was the official finessed video version. This one was live, and actually at a faster tempo than the record. Lots of riffing, especially with the whole band at the end. Freddie was a legendary frontman, but he wasn't the only one who made the band great. All of them are fabulous musicians and it's not just Freddie improvising here - the others are too, seamlessly and as a unit. That's what makes them so brilliant.
I love that you listen to the entire song before you comment. So many "reaction" videos are the commenter constantly interrupting the video, and it is annoying.
Freddie was,the trailblazer when it came to audience participation. That started with Radio Ga Ga at the Live Aid concert. You would love that one. Freddie could hit up to 7 different octives with his voice. There arent any other singers out there that can. So to really appreciate Queen and Freddie's vocals you need to jump into some of the other songs. I love how you said when this concert was aired you werent even thought of. You are a sweet young thing. I have been following then since the 70's. So the sonhs you should check out are: Who wants to Live Forever, written by Brian May,, who also sings with Freddie. Mother Love Princes of the Universe, from the Highlander movie You're My Best Friend Lily of the Valley Fat Bottom Girls Freddie's operatic vocals, that will send chills up your spine. I want to Break Free There are just so many songs written by each member of the band. As you can see I am,a HUGE Queen fan. If those arent enough you should listen to Barcelona by Freddie and Monserat Caballe. Such a beautiful opera. I'm telling you that you can't go wrong. Love the channel Ty and I really enjoy the live chats. I check my phone constantly to see if I have any notifications from you. Keep up the awesome work. I will just now. Much ❤❤❤
You can't go wrong with Queen. I'm sure you enjoyed it. Try fat bottom girls next Ty....it has a companion song bicycle race in that the lyrics refer to each other. I think they were on the same 45 but I may totally be mistaken on that. Enjoy Queen. They are getting a lot of attention this year I think because of the movie....but there have been true Queen fans ever since they started. Crazy fans. Which reminds me of another you might like.... Crazy little thing called love. When I recommend for you I think about the kind of music you like and those tight harmonies. You'll like all these I promise.
Yep. This was an outtake from his medley at Liveaid in the UK. The whole performance was considered the high point of Queens career. When it was over Elton John burst into the Green Room full of who’s who in the business and yelled out,” The ole boy has done it he’s stolen the show!” It’s worth watching the whole performance.
I'm so greatful that I got to see these magnificent bands live! Queen is so unique, Freddie was a great showman but also a great musician too! Rest in peace Freddie Mercury! You are dearly missed. 💔😔💔
U need to watch the whole thing! Part of what makes it iconic is the bit just before he sits at the piano, when he's warming the audience up for this sing!
Xooooooo I loved those Adidas shoes. Everyone wanted them simply because Freddy wore them. What a gift he was as a showman. I am so glad I was a teen when they were in the hay day . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've wondered about the shoes - Freddie does a lot of ballet-type moves and points his toes a lot which isn't possible in most sneakers since they tend to be clunky. Wondered if Freddie had them made special to look like sneakers but be thinner like ballet shoes.
This man was gifted with pure talent.. Hard to believe he was so sick when he did live aid RIP Freddy gone but never forgotten we still and always will love 💕 you
Mr Mercury wrote this for the Great Ms. Franklin... or with her talent in mind... is was his favourite to perform and the most beautiful gospel song ever imo. bless. love watching you see the amazing music.
oh yeah i understand. The way i see it.. we get born.. go through a ridiculous amount of suffering and misery.. then die. Thats life. Enjoy! Lol just kidding.
1981 I was 11 years old and in 6th grade_ graduated from high school in 1987, grew up in the middle of the 80’s, best generation for music as a kid hanging out at the skating rink every weekend and most days since I was a competitive skater, yes we did all the same jumps and spins the ice skaters did just with 8 wheels vs. a single blade on each skate. I competed from 11-18 years old it kept me out of trouble my coach had a very strict code of conduct for us kids especially when we were out of town at competitions, I grew up in Northern California, closest ice rink was the Charles Shultz rink in Santa Rosa 2.5 hours away over really winding roads through Napa and Calistoga, which got snow in the winter sometimes you couldn’t get over the mountain.
I hope you know what you do is so important. I have depression. I was diagnosed when I was 17 (I'm 36 now). I've always been able to deal with it so that it didn't have a major impact on my life. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with some other chronic illnesses that caused me to have to leave my job. Then my father's health took a bad turn and he is now currently awaiting a lung transplant. I ended up moving back in with my parents to save money and take care of my dad. My depression got much worse and I cut myself off from everyone but my immediate family. I started watching your videos and some other music reaction videos and I noticed they really brought me joy. When reflecting on this I realized that while I am so thankful to be here to help my parents, I missed my friends. I missed just hanging out, talking, listening to music. Getting into debates over a bands best song. Talking about what memories a certain song brings up, etc, etc. You made me see that I was just existing and that I needed my friends to help me dig out of this depression. I've recently reconnected with people that I love and I can feel that things are getting better. I don't have a job at the moment but when I do have some extra money I will definitely become a patron on your patreon channel. Thank you for what you do! You are a blessing!
FYI All four members have attended universities: Mercury had a degree in graphic design and illustration; May has a degree in physics and has done graduate work in astronomy; Taylor has a degree in biology; Deacon earned a degree in electronics with first-class honors.
Freddie grew his moustache in 1980 and pretty much had it all throughout that decade. You still got some of their best songs to react to, We Are the Champions, Under Pressure (make sure you listen to the official music video or the "classic queen mix" as the live version, although great, doesn't have David Bowie doing his part of the song which makes it even better imo), Another One Bites the Dust, We Will Rock You, Radio Gaga, Don't Stop Me Now, I Want to Break Free, Who Wants to live Forever, Princes of the Universe, etc.
Hello I have been watching for some time now and I have loved Queen for years and Freddie mercury loved opera and has a beautiful song called Freddie mercury - Exercising free love (Ensueno - demo) very beautiful. He was so awesome with no limits. Love you Freddie Rip 💙
Roger Taylors backup vocal is just awesome 😊❤👍
ye ye ye.he is a great voice himself.well noticed man.
ALWAYS!! People forget he's the falsetto in Bohemian Rhapsody
Roger is simply brilliant.
Absolutely, Roger's power and range gave Freddy the freedom to fly, gave him the underpinning that allowed him to stretch. People don't realize how much a great backup singer does for the lead. You listen to Pat Benatar, most of her work was her doing her own, and even live a good bit of the time. There just weren't enough singers that could do what she needed. Mot of her lead vocals were in the middle of her range, and her backups were below and above, layered in 7ths and 9ths as well as sometimes two octaves above with full inflections and emotions.
@@wolf762x51 well said indeed. I always focus on Rogers vocals as i think hes amazing but most people only hear Freddie which means they miss out on another aspect of Queens wonderful sound.
Superman should wear a Freddie Mercury shirt!❤️❤️❤️
I like the way you think.
Not sure Superman is badass enough to do it justice.
although freddie is the real superman here :D
Brilliant comment!
Absolutely!!!!!💗
Freddie Mercury one of the greatest singer's and frontman in history a true legend RIP
AND best porn ‘stache ever
Theeeee Greatest, How can anyone watch this and have a doubt. QUEEN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one of hjh, Freddie was the greatest frontman of all time!
Yes yes yes!!!
One of the greatest?, Hey man, Freddie Mercury is considered the best singer on music history...
Freddie Mercury opened his mouth, and absolute magic fell out. And that entire band was tight on talent.
Keep in mind this is a LIVE performance, too. He's amazing anyway, but live? Oh, the world lost a shining light.
My God the talent from this man. Freddie is, was unbelievably amazing.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone say don't subscribe until you've actually watched my content and like it. So sick of the immediate request to subscribe. Well done dude.
Rock stars forever Queen. Love them.💜💜💜🎸🎸🎤🎤🥁🥁💙💙💙
I've been listening to Queen for decades and I am still stunned by that incredible voice. There will never be another Freddie.
I love this song, Freddie Mercury could flat out sing.
So true,I wore my concert T shirt until it was falling apart.
I know right he's amazing
There's only one Freddie!
Volumes!
I felt like I was in church listening to him.
Elvis was King, Michael was the Prince and Freddie was QUEEN
Prince > MJ. Prince was the Prince... in my opinion anyway.
Your generation has missed out on some of the greatest live bands in history. Music simply isn't what it used to be...sad!
Totally agree
" Music simply isn't what it used to be"
My grandmother in the 80s about Queen. ^^
Unfortunate maybe,but not sad these kids are listening to it now. Just awesome talent in 60s and 70s.
Holy shit. It gets better every time I watch. The man was a magician.
Freddie had a pitch perfect voice and had the talent to entertain everybody in the audience, didn't matter if you were standing front row or standing way in the back! Freddie is BOSS!
Freddie was my mother's age but their music didn't hit the US until I was a teenager, I cried like a baby when he died.
Best unofficial Heineken beer commercial ever!!!😂(top of piano)
Now let's talk about John Deacon! In every single live performance with queen, he looks like he's strolling through the home depot picking out paint. 😂😂😂
g 77 who wants to drink Heineken? I prefer good beer
@@NakedPigeon I don't drink anymore.(sober 8 years) but when I did, it wasn't that shit. Lol.
g 77 good for you, believe me. Most Dutch (like me) don't like Heineken, it's a headache beer
The greatest band with the greatest rock vocalist of all time Freddie Mercury.
This was from LIVE AID which was a benefit concert to provide funds for the famine in Ethiopia. You should check out this concert. Freddie Mercury led the entire crowd in singing exercise. It was crazy how he was able to get the tens of thousands of people that were in Wembley Stadium to sing on key! He was truly masterful.
Brian May, the lead guitarist, has his Doctrate in Astro Physics! 👊
Sally Taylor yep and Roger has a Science degree. I think John has an engineering degree.
Sally Taylor - Brian’s father finally understood that his son was not wasting his life after he attended a Queen show.
They all have top class degrees. Brian was also a programmer in the days of punch cards! Imagine that!
Brian was on the team with Neil De Grasse Tyson that reclassified PLUTO as a dwarf planet!
Thanks for the info. This nerd is loving it!
Every time I watch this what I see is just how much fun they’re having.
LIVE-AID 1985 in HD....you WILL find the pinnacle of Freddie's charisma and the hold he had on the fans. It's 24 minutes that you wish you'd been there for. This is the one that slays them all!
Freddie's range was just amazing! Every Queen does gives me just the biggest goosebumps. Love your page!!!
The great Freddie Mercury!! Greatest front man EVER in the history of bands! No one will ever compare to Freddie!!
30+ years later, still gives me the chills......❤️🔥🔥✌🏾
I've seen this video hundreds of times over the years and it never gets old!
Now that's how you perform, captivate and don't even break a sweat.
I grew up listening to Queen and Bee gees. R.I.P Uncle Freddie Mercury 🌹🤧😞
And while they were playing this incredible music, they were SINGING like angels. Such talent is almost more than I can comprehend. ❤️
Watching Freddie always makes me smile and his voice always gives me chillbumps. RIP Freddie
Jerri D me too, he was the ultimate showman, funny because he was so shy in real life, performing brought out a kind of beast in Freddie Mercury. ❤️
You might be interested to know that legendary Queen guitarist Brian May is also an astrophysicist with a PhD. 🙂
Alive and in concert - wow this group of four who became one with each performance was the very definition of awesome. Their talent is above and beyond and I love being 70 and seeing this young guy feeling and reacting as I/we did back in the 70's. Good music is universal and timeless and is found in all genre's. Thanks for what you do.
I was at that concert in 1981, I was 15 . It was my first live concert ... and as you can imagine.... yes ! I was blown away :)
Omg how I miss Freddie. You WILL not be disappointed my friend 👍❤️
Never! Amen!
No one in this days and age can never reach that level of vocal of the legendary Freddie Mercury
I have never in my life wanted to or been inspired to throw my bra on stage during a concert. I'm not wired that way. I mean I literally don't feel those types of emotions. But this music speaks to me on such a level that if I'd ever been able to attend any Queen concerts at the time, I likely would've embarrassed myself.
He was gay
The magnificent irreplacable Freddie Mercury. There was so much talent in this band.
Freddie Mercury was such a great singer & showman. I absolutely love all the music by Queen such an iconic band. RIP Freddie Mercury
Freddie - the best musician, pianist, vocalist and frontman ever
I can't keep up, but if you haven't done "Don't Stop Me Now", DO IT! That song will put anybody in a good mood!!
Love it!
Told my wife to play that at my funeral. So that even if people are trying to be sad, 'ol Freddie will force them to feel happy.
DSMN is my "feel good song" too. I have a clip of it as my ringtone.
"If you wanna have a good time, just gimme a call! .... "
Annie Drews, i tried it at karaoke about 10 years ago. BIG MISTAKE! that song runs you out of air. lol
@@jeffcampbell668 My older son played it in marching band in a medley for their shows back in 2008-ish!
All Queen members can sing. After Freddie passed, George Michael sang this song at his tribute show. Go watch that was so cool.
I used to play this song on the jukebox when I was a teen. One of my favorite Queen songs.
I love how at 4:06 when he holds that note and twist around it sounds like he throws his voice into Brian's guitar and it carries the note on out for him. Pure skill!
Brother Freddy sure could sing, what a great loss ! RIP Freddy ! Love Queen !
According to what he says in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie "I couldn't sing off key if I wanted to" but that could be wrong! He may not have said that in real life
I really appreciate how you don't interrupt the song and wait until the end to comment
No one could command an audience like Freddie, greatest frontman ever.
Do "Who wants to live forever" and "Show must go on" My two favorite Queen songs.
when those 2 songs first came out, I began grieving his demise...it was so sad then and now...so talented he was...RIP Freddie...surely missed, you are!
Who wants to live forever was used in the original Highlander movie. Then in the 90's tv spinoff it was always played near the end just before the end credits.
Bit sad songs though 😟 but its Freddie so 😀 x
absolutely love the show must go on. heard it first in moulin rouge and fell for it then, then found the original.
Chris Scorpio - I love the "Show Must Go On" in Moulin Rouge.
During one performance, early in Queen's career, Freddie tried raising the mic stand and it broke off. He went on performing with the stand in hand and liked it. It became his trademark.
Love of my life... Freddy wrote it for Mary.....Beautiful song.... RIP Freddy... always and forever!
???
@@armadillotoe what is the ??? for? Im talking about the song titled "Love of my life"
My favourite Queen song x
who's Mary?? He was very much gay
@@gjh9299 *sigh* Mary, was his ex wife, his best friend until his death, the one he left almost his entire estate to. (short version)
Never will be another Front Man like Freddie.
One of the best voices and showmen of all time...RIP Freddie
BTW Freddie Mercury, in his last few years, also sang opera with renowned opera singers. It is VERY impressive.
I was fortunate enough to see Queen live in 1978, fantastic show. Two of my favorites, out of many, are Melancholy Blues from the News Of The World album Freddie's singing on that song is fabulous and '39 from A Night At The Opera, that song is written and sung by Brian May.

Who cares about his moustache - I care about his beautifull voice and performance
We lost you far too soon, Freddie! You’re the lead singer of God’s choir now and always!
"Don't Stop Me Now" is one of my faves, I think you'll like it too. Also, anything from the "It's A Kind Of Magic" album. Because a lot of that was used in the Highlander film. :D

Freddy mercury man .... one in a lifetime. Just so much love power talent fun

if you cant appreciate the awesomeness of this song, you are truly dead inside!
Freddie Mercury was an one an only! ❤️❤️
I love that you listen to the entire song before you comment. So many "reaction" videos are the commenter constantly interrupting the video, and it is annoying.

How can hearing Freddie not make you smile and give you goosebumps.? ❤❤❤

Mother Love
Princes of the Universe, from the Highlander movie
You're My Best Friend
Lily of the Valley
Fat Bottom Girls
Freddie's operatic vocals, that will send chills up your spine.
I want to Break Free
There are just so many songs written by each member of the band. As you can see I am,a HUGE Queen fan. If those arent enough you should listen to Barcelona by Freddie and Monserat Caballe. Such a beautiful opera. I'm telling you that you can't go wrong.
Love the channel Ty and I really enjoy the live chats. I check my phone constantly to see if I have any notifications from you. Keep up the awesome work. I will just now. Much ❤❤❤

Oh I would have loved to attend a Queen show but I was poor, raising children and in the US. As some jerk I keep hearing from would say - “SAD”
We all know who that jerk is - we’ve all heard his egotistical bragging lately
Wow 🥰 beautiful Freddie ❤️ liked already subscribed 😁❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️
I was born in 1956 so alot of theses songs make me remember when,things just didn't bother us as much then,keep up the great work and God Bless!
This man was gifted with pure talent.. Hard to believe he was so sick when he did live aid RIP Freddy gone but never forgotten we still and always will love 💕 you
Mr Mercury wrote this for the Great Ms. Franklin... or with her talent in mind... is was his favourite to perform and the most beautiful gospel song ever imo. bless. love watching you see the amazing music.
This makes me smile, and I needed to smile, my pain level has been high today.
oh yeah i understand. The way i see it.. we get born.. go through a ridiculous amount of suffering and misery.. then die. Thats life. Enjoy!
Lol just kidding.
@@Simon0 thanks I needed that laugh to
Richie Blackmore and Brian may are 2 of the most underrated guitar players of all time.
WOW ! This just raised the hair on the back of my neck . What an artist.
They broke the mold after Freddy Mercury!! This was my fav when I was your age!
Freddy was not moulded... he was sculpted out of pure magic....
Nirmal Kirtisinghe Amen!
Oh wow.Took me back to 14yrs old.what a trip.
The best rock band ever! ❤ Freddie mercury❤
I don’t think there’s anything he couldn’t sing. 💙

This is my favorite Queen song of all time! I love his vocal rang on this one.
I hope you know what you do is so important. I have depression. I was diagnosed when I was 17 (I'm 36 now). I've always been able to deal with it so that it didn't have a major impact on my life. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with some other chronic illnesses that caused me to have to leave my job. Then my father's health took a bad turn and he is now currently awaiting a lung transplant. I ended up moving back in with my parents to save money and take care of my dad. My depression got much worse and I cut myself off from everyone but my immediate family. I started watching your videos and some other music reaction videos and I noticed they really brought me joy. When reflecting on this I realized that while I am so thankful to be here to help my parents, I missed my friends. I missed just hanging out, talking, listening to music. Getting into debates over a bands best song. Talking about what memories a certain song brings up, etc, etc. You made me see that I was just existing and that I needed my friends to help me dig out of this depression. I've recently reconnected with people that I love and I can feel that things are getting better. I don't have a job at the moment but when I do have some extra money I will definitely become a patron on your patreon channel. Thank you for what you do! You are a blessing!
Thank You Freddy with LOVE! RIP
Greatest performer ever. I love "In My Defense" the best of all of his songs.
FYI All four members have attended universities: Mercury had a degree in graphic design and illustration; May has a degree in physics and has done graduate work in astronomy; Taylor has a degree in biology; Deacon earned a degree in electronics with first-class honors.
Please react to Queen - Love Of My Life. Live performance. It's one of the best songs ever written. 🖤
Bring a tissue
Freddie grew his moustache in 1980 and pretty much had it all throughout that decade.
You still got some of their best songs to react to, We Are the Champions, Under Pressure (make sure you listen to the official music video or the "classic queen mix" as the live version, although great, doesn't have David Bowie doing his part of the song which makes it even better imo), Another One Bites the Dust, We Will Rock You, Radio Gaga, Don't Stop Me Now, I Want to Break Free, Who Wants to live Forever, Princes of the Universe, etc.
Hello I have been watching for some time now and I have loved Queen for years and Freddie mercury loved opera and has a beautiful song called Freddie mercury - Exercising free love (Ensueno - demo) very beautiful. He was so awesome with no limits. Love you Freddie Rip 💙
