It's ok to cry. We all do. I am. You can really see the pain in Brian's face and hear it in his voice. So much emotion and love for his friend. That must have been so hard for Brian to sing that song so soon after losing Freddie. But what a great thing Brian and Roger and John did to honor the memory of Freddie. They really loved him. Freddie will always be with us through his music and in our hearts. Faith just so you know I listened to your ghost stories the other day - the one about sitting on the bed and curtains flowing in the NOT breeze was freaky enough but the one about the cemetary in the middle of nowhere and the whatever it was in the back seat with your friend OMG. That's another level of freakishnes. I've never experienced anything like that and hope I never do. And you're still sane - impressive. Love you.
I am old and a Queen-Fan since the age of 6, so I attended to this tribute-concert :-/ ... I cried a lot that day and very hard on this song! Seeing Brian with tears in his eyes ... and i looked around me: Everyone was crying! Didn't see one dry eye ... like 60.000 people where crying ... *hard_stuff
Our dear Dr. May is a gentleman, a scholar, & by all accounts a kind hearted person (as evidenced by his work as one of Britain's foremost animal welfare champions). This tribute concert was emotional for him, Roger & Deaky (Elton John commented on that at the time). They experienced the highs of performing with fellow respected artists in front of a huge crowd (at Wembley, no less, scene of previous triumphs) along with the sadness inherent in the occasion. You can see the whole range of emotions throughout the concert. It's so worth watching the whole thing. Btw, Brian specializes in the study of interstellar dust in our galaxy. Astrophysicist/astronomer that he is, he'd probably get a kick out of the way your comments veered off into the cosmos & the stars in this video.💙
Yes Nora...that was hard to watch because i know it was tough on Brian. Having just a year since Freddie's passing...damn its been how many years and its hard on us fans. Miss you Freddie!
Thanks Faith! This was the first time the song was performed live, written by Brian with 2 non Queen friends, it was about his divorce. Queen recorded it w/Freddie for the Miracle album, but legal issues kept it off. Released in '95 on "Made in Heaven", and then as a single in '96. You can catch the whole Tribute Concert for 48 hrs, Fri. and Sat. on TH-cam. Very Epic!!! th-cam.com/video/PN7oGo6qlMA/w-d-xo.html
What a night, 20th April 1992, I was there. I taped this concert on VHS, glad I did as some of the artists felt thier performances were not good enough to put on the released VHS/DVD release so I have all the performances. This was not released on record either. George Michael and Metallica are highlights for me.
This concert really was a celebration and very painful at the same time. Just think: Freddied had died at the end of November. And just in April afterwards, Brian was up there in front of 72'000 people singing this. Queen Official streams the full thing live in 12 hours. I've watched it live on TV back then at the age of 17. Probably wearing my Innuendo shirt that I'd worn back then whenever I could. (I.e. as long as my mom didn't force me to take it off to replace it with the black Queen crest shirt.) I'm so looking forward to the live stream of the concert in 12 hours.
Faith, join us all tonight to watch the entire tribute concert streaming on YT! Check the official Queen channel to get the details. It's a great concert, super emotional. George Michael's (RIP) version of Somebody to Love is a must! I watched that concert on tv as a kid. Both me and my mum, the original Queen fan in the family, cried like babies.
Devastatingly beautiful! Once again Brian blows us away! In the official music video, for the instrumental solo, he played a mandolin and he even sang this as a duet with Pavarotti in English and Italian! I'm an omnist- meaning I don't favor one religion or spirituality over another, but find truth in all of them and I'm right there with you!
The Irish believe that this existence is just part of a never-ending journey our souls go through- hence the Celtic knots. Even Christianity doesn't argue that- this place, this life is just a small part of a journey. That's why when someone dies, we Irish celebrate the life, not mourn the passing because we will see them again in our journey. "Bring a smile before you bring a tear." is what I was taught.
I believe that God created the universe, and used the big bang to do it. I am a Christian as well, but if the facts are there, what ya gonna do with them? So, that's my answer to the question. My big q is Are we going to see our people after death? I want to see my family. I want to see my friends. I want to see people I don't even know to thank them for the influence they had on my life...how they helped me thru hard times even though they aren't here anymore. Freddie Mercury is a huge example. Queen's music, but especially Freddie, has helped me through the last 2 years of a 3 long years battle with cancer. The songs and Freddie's philosophy of life, his humor, his battles with similar issues that I have had and how he handled them have been a great inspiration to me. I now feel, with research and listening and actually hearing the songs he wrote, that I know him to a certain degree: both On Stage Freddie and Off Stage Freddie. I love him, or his soul, or his spirit, or whatever you call what he left behind, like a big brother in a way. We both enjoy a lot of the same things. We both have the same philosophies on certain subjects. We both love to laugh and entertain (I sing too), and make people happy even if it's only for a moment. We both look at the world and say "bugger off" if it doesn't like us. He seems to be such a loving and giving human being...which I try to be...and all that was missing for him was true love. I have missed out on that as well. As a Christian female who admires a bisexual male, I sometimes get grief from others, but I can't help it. My adoration for him was sent to me, I believe by God, at just the right moment...to help me see how I'm not the only sick person, and how one handles a chronic and/or fatal illness shows what kind of person he/she is. Freddie handled his with dignity and grace, never complained, never let it stop him until the very end. I need to learn that lesson and am working very hard to do so. We also both have an affinity for Kimonos!! Of course, I don't own one, and Freddie had many. I think of how we could have hung out in kimonos, listened to a vast array of music, watched old b&w movies, had a glass of champagne, and laughed all night. I know it's crazy and just a fantasy, but it brings a tear to my eye and a smile to my lips, and sometimes brings me out of my illness funk. Sorry this is so long, but I feel I can talk to you. You're so awesome! Keep up the great work, and don't ever stop the Queen and Freddie videos, even if they're reruns. I'm glad to have run into someone who likes them as much as I do.💖😭
This is the song that Brian May wrote when he was going through his divorce in 1986. It's such a beautiful song and has various different meanings depending on how we want to interpret it.
I NEW here I see YOU DONE some reactions to dimash and you reaction to dimash is the best I am a boy who LOVE music and VIDEO games and YOU crying make me cry and I from the philippines I LOVE YOU reaction 🙏👍👽🙏❤🦋

You need to hear Freddie sing this
He doesn’t have as much emotion then he sang it but Brian really did. Freddie just sang it like any other song

credit to brian there he was fighting back tears throughout the performance
I was there.. Front row. This was the first time this song was ever heard...

i was at this concert and OMG I ran out of tears - it was a fitting way to celebrate Freddie
Watch the concert tribute to Freddie it's on today Robert Plant Roger Daltrey and lots more. Great concert
“Does not compute”...well said.
Faith - getting metaphysical! ❤️
Starting tomorrow, they will be playing the entire tribute show...

Who Wants to Live Forever in the Tribute concert is an emotional one for Roger.
React to Queen - Don' t Try So Hard and Bijou at last!

Can you to BARCELONA? FREDDIE Mercury sings with an opera star
FREDDIE
This is the song that Brian May wrote when he was going through his divorce in 1986. It's such a beautiful song and has various different meanings depending on how we want to interpret it.
Such emotion.
Reacts - Queen, Axl Rose and Elton Jonh - Bohemian Rhapsody
