The greatest front man in music history. The voice, the showmanship, the energy all made Freddie the gold standard.
He surely discovered what he was put on this earth to do! Exceptional performer and showman!
Couldn't agree more. Exceptional.
"The greatest front man in music history" - Prince: "hold my beer"... but Freddie was a performer extraordinaire 🙂
@@jenspetersimonsen4235 nah i got Prince 2nd
saw them live several times in the 70's and early 80's GREATEST BAND EVER!
The way Roger Taylor can drum and sing high harmonies at the same time is extraordinary.
Freddie! There’s no body else like him! Incredible composer as well! FYI as soon as you said drumming and singing I had one thought!!! You must watch Phil Collins Live Paris Coming in the Air Tonight!!! You won’t believe it. Must see! Also watch Queen full set at Live Aid!!!!
@@amyaeschbach3581 Then the EXTREME Queen Medley 1992.
Roger Taylor and Brian May were both accomplished singers who could have (and have) fronted their own bands, and John Deacon was his own flavor of musical expertise. Queen was a massive accumulation of talent that found a way to mesh and make it all work together.
Roger has stated that “playing the drums and singing is a nightmare”.
Roj rarely did solo vocals for Queen, but when he does, he always brings that gritty rock n roll to contrast Fred's super-smooth operatics. 😊
Queen's secret weapon was Roger's high harmony vocals while drumming
In my opinion, Roger Taylor was definitely a secret weapon and so was John and Sir Dr.Brian May were weapons in their own extraordinary way! They are all great but Roger was pretty darn awesome! 👑🌈💙
"How many more Galileos do you want?"^^
well him a few more. lol
Roger, also for his hit song writing, and John Deacon another secret weapon for his bass playing and also hit song writing.
I mean, all four of them are iconic musicians. Secret weapon? Nah, they’re all out front and well known.
If you want to talk about his stage presence, watch the Live Aid performance.
Live Aid will blow ur mind. I was 12 and had to video it. The UK and the world were blown away and United for 1 day.
We will rock you was beyond fantastic in how he involved the audience.
Hi check Queen Live Aid 1985. Their absolute power...Freddie was one, or maybe the best singer of all time.
Which he did while sick with the flu.
@@keithmcclaughry7009 no it was AIDS
@@keithmcclaughry7009worse actually. It was a throat infection & his dr told him not to do it.
I understand that Freddie and Roger ad lib'd the middle part as Brian broke a guitar string. You can see him walk to the back of the stage to fix it whilst they fill the gap without so much as a pause. True legends!
Still nailed it
The longest pause by Brian was only 10 seconds so a broken string is unlikely.
One of the greatest live performances ever and don't forget, that Freddie Mercury was an untrained singer, never took singing lessons. This was his favorite song.
Also, Roger Taylor's vocals are often overshadowed by Freddie's virtuoso voice, but he's a phenomenal singer himself and his contribution to Queen's sound is one of the things that makes the group so damn good.
Well said. Taylor's backing vocals exceptional.
In any other band (without Freddie), Roger would have been the lead singer. He's that good!
I'm in Love With My Car is my favorite song of theirs that features Rogers voice
@@Mister_Samsonite Don't forget Brian who is also a strong singer.
I No one but you, you can hear what the band was able to do after Freddies death. Roger sounds like Joe Cocker, Brian has more like a clean voice
@@andreaseufinger4422 I can't argue with that. As a huge guitar nut, I am a big fan of Brian May - as a musician and a human being!
Nice reaction, Freddie is a perfect example of why singers in the day didn't need auto tune. Auto tune limits the improvisational aspects of a performer and Freddie was all about improvising. Every performance was different, not like today's music where every performance is the exact same.
That's the difference between a musician and an artist. Thankfully even in this time where everything is autotuned to death, there are still artists around: David Draiman, Floor Jansen, Sully Erna and Lzzy Hale to name but a few.
If you loved this song, you're going to CRY with "Save Me" from this same concert... one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...
Heartbreaking to think that Freddie passed away just 10 years after this amazing performance.
So so so sad :(
Really want to recommend These Are The Days Of Our Lives for a reaction .....but not yet....not this early
@@TheSandersd84 Agree! Good advice 👑💙
On the exact same day...
@@dinobravo852 Oh gosh, you're right! I just realized that he died *exactly* 10 years to the day after this concert...
We all tear up for Queen.
A lot of sound for a 4 piece band !! Please watch their
“LiveAid” performance !!!
The “GOLD” standard !!❤❤
I think somebody is falling under Freddie's spell!!!! 😂🙂 Isn't it great that we have these wonderful Queen videos to remind ourselves of these great live performances.
Thanks for a great reaction. I love this song, and this performance is truly magnificent. Roger Taylor has an amazing voice, as well as being a great drummer. The entire band were world class.
Freddie's favourite instrument was the audience. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can or could play the audience like him. RIP Freddie.
Queen " love of my life " live Montreal 1981,its a thing of beauty,brian may on a 12 string acoustic guitar and Freddie being amazing x :)
I love the version from Rio Brazil
Check out their performance at Live Aid. Everyone said they stole the show even the other performers.
Everyone?
@@pulsarlights2825 David Bowie followed Queen's performance at Live Aid, and as the band members were going off stage David said to Freddie, "You bastard, how am I supposed to follow that?!" (Bowie was grinning ear-to-ear when he said it.) 😁
@@danieldickson8591 I though U2 was great that day myself...The Who wasn't bad, but the most vivid thing I remember was how bad Led Zeppelin was that night in Philly....
@@danieldickson8591 Not sure but I think he called him A Bitch or that might have been Elton.
You will love “Who Wants to Live Forever “ live in Budapest is the very best performance of this song . Thank you for Reacting to Queen . Four musical geniuses . Queen is Freddie and Freddie is Queen ❤️
When a relative died of cancer in the 90's she requested only queen be played in the background during visitations.
The Show Must Go On. You have to, have to have to see that. I remember the first time I saw the video to that just after Fred passed, I was bawling like a schoolgirl. Magnificent.
Roger Taylor (drums) is one of the best rocksingers out there, but well, he had Freddie in his band. Roger has done some solo-albums and had his own band THE CROSS, even parallel to Queen. He wrote some huge Queen-hits.
The Cross have some great tunes. Mad Bad & Dangerous to Know is a fantastic album.
Roger Taylor's vocals are fantastic, and his drumming is superb as well. What you will find with Freddie, is that every performance, interview, film clip you see will only make it more clear what a truly amazing person he was. A genuine phenomenon who comes along once in a century or two.
I was lucky enough to see them as an 18 year old kid in 1982. I didn't really wanna go, as by that point in time, their music had changed considerably from stuff like this. But my older sister INSISTED I go with her. So I let her take me. I'm so glad I listened to my sis.
We were in the 3rd row right in front of Freddie's piano. Well, that is until Freddie said, "SCREW SECURITY! RUSH THE STAGE!!!" I was then about 20 people back, standing on my seat to see the show. 😂😂😂 No biggie for me, I'm over 6', but my sister was plenty p.o.'d. 😂 One of the best concerts I've ever seen to this date. Freddie had the audience in the palm of his hand all night. He owned the stage every single night. Phenomenal talent.
Now the perfect follow-up reaction would be QUEEN AT LIVE-AID 1985 (the whole 20 minutes in one go).
We miss you Freddie Every day of our lives
many tear up when they recognize true talent, talent that loved doing what they did. this was Freddie, a true Unicorn. RIP. going to say it again, check out Live Aid, Freddie played the crowd, all 72,000 people in Wembley, and the millions around the world who tuned in. good vid, always fun to see people experience new things.
Little fact - there is a section where Freddie is standing, singing and walks to the front of the stage interacting with the crowd and keeps looking back to his left while Roger fills in with his great drumming. What's happening there is that Brian has broken a guitar string and rushed off to replace it, eventually you see him re-appear and the song continues. The way they cover this up and you don't even know there's a problem is amazing. Fabulous performance.
Thank you for reacting to this. If you love his animation, the Live Aid full set in 1985 is legendary for that and the whole hint is mesmerizing. . But in 1975, the Bohemian Rhapsody official video will show you all his and their sounds, the harmonies there are super, and his voice…omg. He was the greatest, and I love even more Brian and Roger for keeping his legacy and Queens legacy alive to this day. Also, check out their official video of this song, it’s just as great but also very different, you can see how they actually perform those harmonies in action, and more, which Queen and Freddie always performed their songs differently live because they felt it as more fun to give that to the audience. And ys, they had the perfect chemistry for their group, they were so intelligent and had such great instincts and talents. ❤
RIP Freddie Mercury. One of the best.
You just witnessed the 2nd greatest live performance from this band😂❤Yes the drummer has a magnificent voice as well as his drumming 😂 check out his song dedicated to Freddie called Old Friends. RIP Freddie. Yes Roger, drummer has a solo career. Brian May, guitarist, also has very good vocals.
Brian May, one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, also has a Doctorate in Astrophysics, and collaborated on projects for NASA.
Roger's background vocals are like none other. And well Freddie is just brilliant. This is my favorite performance. Live Aid full 20 minutes is a must my friend. Peace out girl ✌️ ☮️
Mercury's sense of vocal dynamics were simply unequaled. Fun reaction.
The Show Must Go On, Love of My Life, Under Pressure, Bohemian Rhapsody(You've probably heard samples of this somewhere)
This is my favorite version of this song! If you are interested, on Disney Plus starting today you can actually watch this entire concert from 1981 in Montreal. It’s called Queen Rock Montreal. It’s just fantastic
Please note, this is live, no auto tune. Freddie was one of the best vocalists in my lifetime and I'm 52.
Freddie he’s simply the GOAT. Great vocalist, such an amazing pianist, a good songwriter, and his stage persona. Can’t wait for your next Queen reaction. If you like to see Roger singing, you can find a medley always from the Montreal concert, and it’s called Killer Queen and I’m in Love with my Car
There will NEVER be another Freddie! RIP
As of now, I have lived, breathed & loved Queen & Freddie Mercury for about 15 years. All 4 of these guys are literal geniuses: an electrical engineer, a PhD of Astrophysics, and an almost dentist. The 3 were accompanied by a legendary graphic designer from Ealing College with a 3.5-4 octave range who played the guitar, piano, drums and audience seamlessly and flawlessly.
I cannot ever listen to another Freddie Mercury song or video for the first time because I've seen them all countless times. The next best thing is watching somebody else hear & see him for the first time. The joy I just witnessed on your face at 2:04 actually brought tears to my eyes! I'm sure you don't believe that, but it's true. Welcome to Queen and Freddie Mercury!
***But *** I want to let you know something since you are watching this version: this concert almost never came about. The band hired the recording company to video the concert. Queen's concerts were known for audience participation and Freddie was a MASTER. However, once the concert was edited & put together, the company edited out a LOT of audience participation. They were LIVID. They complained to get the audience back in the concert, but somehow it had gotten wiped out or thrown out. So when Freddie is telling the audience to sing and stomp, you can barely hear them at all. This is NOT how it happened and it's certainly NOT what Queen wanted. Especially when Freddie says "do it with me!" and "keep it going!" it almost sounds like nobody is doing it or nobody's even paying attention. This is incorrect, however. Just thought you may want to consider that.
Welcome to the Queen rabbit hole!
Queen has a huge catalogue, so you're in for a fun ride. You should be aware that you're now a magnet for Queen fans. We flock to new reactors. 😊
Actually, the studio version of this song is wonderful, but is quite different. Freddie always tried to make each live performance of a song fresh and new, and said that if people wanted to hear the studio version, they should just stay at home and play the record.
As others have said, their 20 minute set at Live Aid in 1985 is brilliant, as are all their live shows.
Just so you know, if you share videos from the Official Queen Channel, you don't need to use a filter...
Usually Freddie is an impossible act to follow or emulate. But I recommend checking out George Michael’s performance of this song at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert from 1992. It is stunning.
The whole of this concert went up on Disney+ last week, one of the greatest performances I've ever seen from a band.
One thing that's not said often enough on reactions to this song is this was the 4th song of the night. They had a 21 song set with 2 encores totalling 5 more songs
This is, imo, the best live performance of a single song there is.
🎼🎼💙💙 ..... okay , Stacey , I just want you to know that THIS song is my favorite song. Not just my favorite song today , this is my favorite song of any genre , of any Era, from any band , in any language , of every song I have ever heard.. I am so glad that you like it, and that it hit you like it did! I loved every second of your reaction.. TY ......... 💙💙🎼🎼
Thank you Stacey for reacting to my all time favorite band Queen. It was my very first concert I went to in 1986, I was just 11 years old. Sadly though it was also the last time, not long after Freddie past away😢. I still miss him….
The drummers name is Roger Taylor and his vocal range is insane. If you want to hear him sing, react to “I’m in Love With My Car” from the same concert. ❤
You can not go wrong with any song from this concert. They were touring for "The Game" album, which came June 30th 1980. I saw them at Madison Square Garden in September 1980. My favorite track from that album and song during the show is "Save Me". I highly recommend watching it.
I second Save Me. Such an amazing performance. Also this concerts version of Love of My Life is my favorite.
He was just magical. Owned the stage for sure. When I was a kid I would be dancing and singing along. Then later on when I was tired I'd put on the pink Floyd and dream away, priceless
GREAT reaction, all of us who got to witness the great rock band Queen throughout the Freddie Mercury years are so blessed.
I’m an old man of 61, but I was lucky enough to see Queen live in New York City (Madison Square Garden) back in 1976 & 1978. I was a teenager, but loved Queen from back in the early 1970s. Those two shows I witnessed live were the 2 greatest concerts I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been to a lot of concerts.
Freddie’s voice
Was 2nd to none when it comes to rock vocalists. He had so much range, and it was all effortless as you stated.
He was also a humble guy, I read a quote of his, he allegedly replied to the question, “what’s it like being the world’s greatest rock singer ?”, he replied, “I don’t know, go ask Steve Perry”.
They said that the quote can’t be proven to have ever been asked and answered that way. But Mercury was a humble guy. Also had the confidence of a great rock singer, so the quote could be made up.
This performance, Queen’s Montreal show is legendary. It was recently released and currently playing in IMAX theaters
The Queen rabbit hole is unbelievably deep and wide. They have been my favorite since I was a kid in the 70’s. I saw this tour. It was my first concert ever. 1980. Enjoy the journey!
You're going to cry your eyes out when you hear him sing love of my life
I agree the best singer of all time RIP YOU ARE MISSED AND TY FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC TO CARRY US KEFT HERE THROUGH OUR JOURNEY !
I can't wait for you to discover what you've been missing like. ELO: Telephone Line/ Turn to Stone. Or CHICAGO: 25 or 6 to 4/Wishing You Were Here. Or KANSAS: Carry-on My Wayward Son. Or BOSTON: Foreplay Longtime/ A Man I'll Never Be. Enjoy it, girl. 😎👍
Roger the drummer being able to play drums and sing with his head turned sideways is amazing. So underrated.
Freddie Mercury is my all time favorite vocalist. And Brian May's tone is my all time favorite guitar tone.
Seeing your reaction is almost as good as Freddie singing a great, timeless song. It's really great seeing someone discover Freddie and Queen.
I turned 60 this past December , I have seen a ton of band in my life , live ...... no other band /lead singer comes close to Freddie and Queen ....G.O.A.T..
Thank you for let us see your reaction to this masterpiece! We need even more Queen! Full concert at ''Live Aid 1985'' is a great next pick!
Thanks Stacey! I was very lucky to have seen them in 1975. Freddie on stage was quite amazing. Rock on!!
The best live band ever , keep the queen reactions coming, there are so many more to come and you will love them.
They were a rare talent.
The studio version is full of great harmonies that they can’t really reproduce on stage but what they can’t do live, they make up for it by being SO FRIKKIN QUEEN!!!!!
Queen the best band ever ❤️❤️ Freddie Mercury absolutely one of a kind . Love you Freddie RIP ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up in the 70's and your reaction has me living this performance as if it was new again. I see so much more through your eyes that I had actually missed before. Thank you
Great choice. I first heard Queen when i was young - We Will Rock You, - still a great Rev-up the crowd song. But emotionally - The Show Must Go On is fantastic.
Hey. The wonderful world of Queen. So many gems like this. You must, must, must see the Live Aid performance. Its amazing. I know, I was there.
Isn't it weird that you can feel somehow musically fulfilled by a band so way before your time? Their music is timeless, classic, unique... seriously something that everyone should experience at least once. I love how much they stir all the feelings in you, watching them for the first time :)
I was fortunate enough to see Queen several times in the 70's and 80's. Every show was epic. I encourage you to check out the song White Queen, live.
I was so excited to see you react to this absolutely amazing performance! You can't have your first time again, but I guarantee you'll watch this again! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Fantastic reaction to one of Queen's biggest hits and their best live version of it! It's a beautiful song and Freddie wrote it as a tribute to Aretha Franklin & gospel music. This was song number 4 of 20+ songs they did at this concert, it's one of their most iconic performances. Freddie is the absolute best, there can be only one! Queen are the greatest, in the studio & live. Yeah Roger Taylor the drummer is awesome and to play drums and sing simultaneously is incredible. Yeah he's done a few solo albums and is such a talented musician in his own right. Please check out for the channel from this same concert; Queen live in Montreal 1981, him doing some more playing drums and singing at the same time in his song 'I'm In Love With My Car' - it's mesmerising! + Queen's immortal 20 minute set at Live Aid in 1985, they gave the performance of a lifetime!
Hi Stacey,Thank you for your amazing reaction.Like everyone else PLEASE react to their live aid performance as it's one of the greatest ever.It last for 20 minutes and you'll be blown away.Freddie is without doubt one of the best singers and frontmen ever and Queen one of the greatest bands ever with an array of magnificent songs and live shows.I love the fact you love Queen and you are also a beautiful lady❤
Queen was the first band i come to love for real. Freddie is out of this world. Their first two albums is my favourit albums. But almost everything they did where amazing. Thank you for this beautiful reaction Stacy!❤❤❤
Watch the studio version of this song to hear some magnificent choral effects by the group.
In the history of rock, the 80s and 90s were incredible, because they were so talented, and Queen and Freddy were always one of the best, the songs they put forward were always inspiring
Check out this entire concert!! Awesome!!
Queen are the benchmark for live performance & musicianship. As has been already mentioned their Live Aid performance is a must for many reasons. It was a charity concert so the audience was mixed, Queen where not on the bill when the tickets were sold, but by the end of the 20 minute set you'd think from the crowd reaction that you'd just watched a Queen concert. There's a documentary called something like "20 minutes that changed rock history" about this performance.
Both Brian May (guitar) and Roger Taylor (drums) are successful lead men in their own rights, but Roger possesses a powerful falsetto (high) range which Freddie often referred to as the "Dog Whistle". The very high "Galileo"s in Bohemian Rhapsody are all Roger. To hear that range live check out "In the lap of the gods" from around 1974 (there's also a track called "In the lap of the gods (revisited)" which is a different song. For an example of their musical synergy look no further than "White Queen" from Hammersmith Odeon.
Singing drummers do exist (Don Henley from Eagles), but a modern day specialist of this skill is Paulina Villarreal from a band called The Warning - 3 sisters from Mexico who are the real deal. Their channel is full of content and anything from their Teatro Metropolitan show in 2022 is top quality. Paulina sings lead on a number of their songs while beating the living hell out of her drum kit - Dust to Dust & 23 are two prime examples.
Saw them three times in the 70's. Thats what I saw. Every song they played was so amazing. His banter with the audience was so amazing.
Welcome to the Queen fandom. You have to watch their performance at Live Aid 1985. The best 20 minutes in Rock. Truly. Check out Live Aid and see all the bands performing and a simulcast across the world. Quite a thing for that time.
Queen one of rocks greatest bands ever and maybe surprised at how many hits they have.
Read the lyrics. This performance always makes me cry. You can tell Freddie wrote this song because he pours his entire soul to it. He directly talks to God about why he's so lonely with nobody to love. RIP A LEGEND
Freddie was the best frontman any band ever could wish for. I had the good fortune to see Queen live twice with Freddie (1982 and 1986). The 1982 concert was from the same tour as this performance. Magical evening.
Your just getting started with queen keep going to the queen rabbit hole. You need to hit more live stuff you will be just as shocked with other live performances just like you were with this on. Here are a bunch of great live queen performances

GOD BLESS YOU
🙏Hi.
Also…
Back then the live concerts are what sold records. The expectation of fans was an outstanding live concert performance.
You won't find better than this live performance of Somebody to Love 👍😁
All 3 live versions of "Love of My Life" would be my next suggestion!
There are artist and then there are masters of their craft, Freddie is a true master of his craft.
The best live band ever, I was lucky enough to see them live 3 times, try Save Me from the same concert, you will be blown away
When they played at live aid, they were the best band to play at either location that day.
Brit here. Watch the film of his life and the meaning in the songs will really have you in tears .A legend greatly missed.
Was fortunate to grow up in this era of music and live shows that, sadly, will likely never be seen again. So many great bands, Queen was certainly one of the best. And yes, Roger Taylor is a fabulous vocalist, all were stellar musicians. No auto tune lip sync. They worked hard perfecting their sound which was frequently better live than in studio.
Amazing performance by the band freddie and especially the drummer roger taylor, probably their best single live performance ever i knew you would love it
I think your ready for Queen at Live Aid 1985. It's approx a 21 minute set. But the show, the power, the audience control is something you will never forget !!!
I have been waiting on this Reaction. Everyone shines during this performance.
Freddie had a 4 octave range to his voice which is very rare.
Thanks, Stacey.. widely recognized as one of their best live performances.. this song in particular, but in fact, the entire concert.. Freddie was always amazing, but this was a whole band... not just "Freddie & some guys"... this is how they did, back in the day... I am old, so was privileged to see them live a few times with Freddie & all ... (this entire show has recently been released in IMAX.. but so limited, I can't find it my Mid-west area.. if you are in a larger market, perhaps you can... ?) appreciate your reaction and look forward to more...
Nobody captures your heart quite like Queen does 👑 Freddie was a once in a lifetime performer. I hope you continue on your Queen journey
I was indoctrinated by their first single "Killer Queen". I saw them 6 times in the late 70s and early 80s. This has been my favorite band since then. I'm 61 now and am delighted by Stacy's reactions. If you want to give me a shout, I'll gladly share some 35mm shots I took over the years. The drummer that you are enamored with is Roger Meadows Taylor. He's the high voice in Bohemian Rhapsody. You need to see the movie of the same name. No other band has had the impact on my life, nor made me question my own sexuality.
Beauty comes in many forms. But the way it manifested collectively in the person of Freddie Mercury is, was, and forever will be an inspiration.
DO NOT MISTAKE the 2nd place loser of a shit show of talent as an acceptable place holder. With all due respect to John, Brian, and Roger, there is not and will never be another worthy of his crown.
I've seen this concert footage forty times and it still makes me tear up, too. The band is so tight it defies belief.
Freddie has an incredible voice. All members of Queen are talented. In this song, the combination of Freddie and Roger is great. Whereas in Love of my Life (I hope you will also have a reaction), the combination of Freddie and Brian is amazing. Freddie has a lot of respect for his band mates because he considers them family. Even though he is the most famous of all, he always says that Queen cannot be formed without his other brothers in the band. He is a very kind, humble person. Great Soul❤❤❤
BTW, John doesn't sing even though Freddie thinks he has a good voice. He is one of the best bassists and contributed to Queen's famous songs like Another one bites the dust and Under pressure and a lot more. Thank you for your great reaction❤
I suggested this in one of your Twitch streams a few weeks ago Stacey, I told you it was an unbelievable performance, I knew you’d love it, great reaction ❤
You should check out Marc Martel. He sang the songs in the Movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" He sounds exactly like Freddie. His "Under Pressure" and "Who Wants to Live Forever" are mind blowing. He also does Luciano Pavarotti and Freddie Mercury singing ‘Nessun dorma’ Called "The Mercurotti"
I was fortunate enough to see Queen four times in the 70s in my hometown of Chicago! What a band! Couldn't get enough of these guys! I actually teared up when he passed! What a complete showman!
Stacey
Roger, drummer and Brian, guitarist continues today as Queen+Adam Lambert (singer) after their long-time founder and bassist, John Deacon threaten to sue them because they were still using original band name, Queen many years after Freddie's death. John retired from the band, but still has a say in band's business. Because at the beginning of Queen in mid-70s, all 4 original members agree to have an equal say in band's business. Brian and Roger had another singer named Paul Rodgers of Bad Company to see for them. Then when Fox had American Idol as its series, Adam Lambert jammed with Queen (Brian & Roger) during 2-day finale. Many years later, Adam joined them as their singer. But John felt that both Roger and Brian were disrespecting Freddie's memory having Queen with Adam. They worked it out for the best for everyone.
Luckily I was at two of Queens concerts in the late 70’s. It was so hard to believe when he passed. I was absolutely stunned even though I already knew he was ill.it was the best concerts I ever went to and it’s hard to fathom it’s been over 30 years ago. Still bum me out when I think about the band.
