Not really. Queen was really hard to get a backstage pass for, they were pretty stingy. I was standing backstage and people had thrown flowers onto the stage. Freddy picked them up and as he was walking past me, gave me a peck on the cheek and handed me one of the roses.
Even when he had Aids, he kept on working until his very last day. What a powerful, inspirational and unique man he was. He didnt want pity from anybody and he kept on working
As a 34 year old African American female I asked my mother had she heard of Queen when she said no I felt absolutely offended. Freddie Mercury and Queen the band itself transcends through space, time, age, race and beyond.. wish I had the pleasure to attend at least 1 concert. R.I.P. to a true legend!
I have a friend who says 'she's just not into him' ... I can't force somebody to be into anybody; but I can send on some of his amazing music; and there area few songs (one with Montsterrat Caballle that she loved) and yet when I try again to send on a great song I get PLEASE don't send me any Freddie Mercury stuff - "I cringe when I see him the subject line. I cannot tell you just have OFFENDED I was .... she felt it necessary to tell me that; and it bothered a great deal....some people don't get it.
I’m a huge fan of Freddie Mercury and Queen....... The truth about him comes from his closest friends and we all know that the band! I also Love Freddie ❤️❤️❤️🙏🎶🎵🏳️🌈🍀Singing still...... I believe that ❤️🎶🎵♥️
@B Black that's true to an extent. But what about the millions of fans who had nothing to gain from him and spent their money to buy his music and go to his concerts? Did they have anything to gain? They still loved him religious and had his back.
Freddie Mercury is the greatest and most versatile talent in the history of rock music. His voice is incredibly powerful from rock to jazz to opera. He was a charismatic, brilliant performer and conqueror of the audience. He is a musician of centuries and his legacy remains.
I'm the 💯 th like of this comment, ❣️... A Century is 100 years,❣️... The songs he echoes, Still 🎶 thru the many tears 💦, ❣️... My ❤️ aches 😭 STILL Everytime I hear Bohemian Rhapsody❣️... #ManMythLegend Amazing ✅🤔 isn't words enough for him 😉🙌❣️... Brilliant Mind, Overwhelming Power behind his drive for Life n Passion for Music,❣️No matter what aspect you look at it, it's Breathtaking 💯👏💥👏❣️...
Isadora King thank you so much. You described the essence of Freddie Mercury. I am fan forever. Not just of his singing, songwriting and creativity but of his kindness.I love how tender and loving he treated Mary's kids. In my book he is incomparable.
I agree 100%. You can't imagine how frustrating it is to have a friend who won't even listen to him - I just want to punch her for not being open to who I consider the worlds greatest musicians and performers; like so many of us here.
I will always remember him for his music. The thing that I find to be more sad than the aids diagnosis, was his need and desire to be Truly Loved. Not for his image but the man behind the image. Living in the light of fame and the expectations of fans can make you question the intentions of people who claim they love you. I’m so glad he found someone who was able to love him and not the image before he died. I don’t really know for certain, but I think the life of someone so famous and so surrounded by others can be lonely.
@@joshuarose5746 why? I think that he was such a talented and sensitive human being. Living in the spotlight can cause you to lose yourself. There will never be another Freddie Mercury. His legacy lives on in his timeless music.
Vania -John Blunt, he was chose to the docu it was on REELZ cable channel on Direct TV not long ago. He's a performer and does Freddie to a "T". He's on Fb and here, he does perform Queen songs too. Enjoy.
@Elizabeth Porter I was thinking the term "darling" is very sweet , like a term of endearment...that is, until you use it for everyone, it loses all meaning🤷♀️
emily starr not really, actually the union voted 90% for slavery. Wow, way to stereotype people and also be wrong. The Union was led by terrible people, not the confederacy. Get a history lesson, jackass.
Of course he would say that.What was the average lifespan back then,in the 1860's? All the way up to 1942,it was 42 years old in the USA!I would be dead of old age already!
Rick Seely Average lifespan is heavily affected by infant and child mortality, (which before vaccines and the like was quite high), in the past if one made it to adulthood and didn't die in a war or plague, you actually had a pretty good chance of living a pretty long life...
Awful bloody illness, he suffered so much and whilst being constantly harrassed by the press. Vultures! They wrote such nasty stories, he deserved so much better. His contribution to music was immeasurable. Queen made so many iconic songs. I like to think Freddie is somewhere better being his fabulous self and still entertaining the masses in the great beyond! ( plus having far too much fun to entertain any notions about "resting in peace" love you Freddie mwhah ❤
Freddy was a fighter.....he remains a legend! His friends and family loved him so much. The media was not too kind; they forgot he was human. Rest in internal peace
Peter sienna If you take a step back and look at what you just said, look at all the hate your beliefs bring, religion not only brings hate but brings humans apart, it’s disgusting, think about what you grew up with
hate was brought by the BIBLE when peace was taken from the earth so that the different races would slaughter one another see REV. 6:4 Those are the nations that JESUS spoke of at Math 24:7 when JESUS said Nation would rise against Nation. Look whats happened . 2 WW and a 3rd on the way.
Peter sienna welllllllll....you can get infected other ways than gay sex. Negligence of dirty medical supplies, dirty tattooing needles, breast milk, vaginal fluids, sharing needles for illegal drugs, sharing diabetic tools, dirty nail tools from those Asian “fast shops”, dirty dental supplies.....the list seriously continues hahah the bottom line is if people were not so negligent in any scenario that involves contact with your body we wouldn’t have issues like this. Lol
@@lisa_m3x. Ohhh there's plenty of aids "cures"! Just hard to find natural ones here in the States or other Corporate controlled Western countries. Many aids patients do go to 3rd world countries to find thier "aids cure". But the media is of course silent about this.
@@jetseason4603 You ate so right. Same with cancer. They have the cure for cancer deep in the jungles of my home country. Of course you can't bring any of that here to the USA.
No one will ever be as beautiful and talented . And Poignant as Mr. Freddie. He was SO full of life and yet the deeply personal loneliness;. Can't imagine. He is loved still, eh? This is a good group. Thank you all for all your pics and posts...
Gay, straight, bi - never was important. He was the most talented singer, songwriter, performer of our age. I truly loved his music and still miss him.
Random Person pls stfu and quit trying to make people stop believing in what they believe in. Clearly, you don't believe in God but nobody's throwing shade on your lack of faith anyway so wuss da point
I'm sick of seeing these anti-Rami comments ,he did an outstanding Oscar worthy performance...ok this guy looks a bit more like him but Rami captured his mannerisms and practically turned into him for the film
I agree rami had a voice coach, movement coach, and studied every video of Freddie he could find and you can tell from his performance. He nailed the roll! Rami completely embodied him and the film was a great tribute to Freddie and the music of queen
I also agree, how can any one try and be Freddy. Imposable ! But Rami did the best job any one could have done, there are always assholes saying shit, any thing to cause division and they get off on causing controversy, just to hear them selves speak. Great Oscar to come for Rami , Great job ! Rami... If Roger and Brian liked it, then that is all that matters, these people act like they knew Freddy. NOT !
Sexy Attraction just look in the comments lmao ,let me give you examples: “This guy looks more like Freddie that Rami Malek..” ,”this guy acts more like Freddie than rami “,or even “This guy should have gotten the role not that rami guy “I see these kind of comments everywhere at the moment,it pisses me off he did an amazing job
He was sleeping with a lot of people. I am sure there was some he didn't even know. And it is in blood and people who took care of him had a right to know what was going on!
@@robincramer8080 so testing wasnt as advanced as it is now. He was not formally diagnosed until 1987. Symptoms may not show for 10 years. It a possibility he probably got the initial infection around the late 70s when he was first traveling to NYC. So around the time he was probably spreading the infection he didn't even know he was positive. By the time he was formally diagnosed , he shared that information to his close friends. He partner at the time was well aware. He had no responsibility to share that information to the press. He owes the press nothing. He was always very private about his life so why would he need to make an announcement to the press?
This was all before HIPAA of 1996 in america, and probably before or after the same time in England, securing information on patients and their health history.
To those here who seem to delight in the misery of this man's pain and death: What did he give you, other than some of the most sublime music of the late 20th Century? Did he hurt you, did he impact your lives negatively? Why are you so hateful? What is it about _you_ that makes you feel compelled to comment in the way you do? Your faith? Is it in line with the behaviour that your God expects of you?
I've loved these guys since I was 12. I just turned 59. Thank you Brian and Roger for doing that thing they do so well. I miss John, and wish he'd be back. Adam, you have big shoes to fill, but your own way seems to me just right. RIP Freddie. We still love you.
What a good actor and documentary! Iwatched this after watching Bohemian Rhapsody. I can’t get his life out of my mind :( His music talent, voice, costumes, movements on stage, microphone, passion, the way loving his cats and the way saying darling to everyone, kindness and sincere heart, energy, theeth, smile, songs, Mary, Jımmy, relationship with band friends, performances and illnees -I mean everything about his life- effected me so much :( ı wish ı would born a few years before and see them on stage. He tells us everything about his life with his songs. When ı listen to him now ı feel lots of things. RIP legendary man. We still love you..🙏🏻
Miss Angie! Miss Angie! Miss Aaaangie! Same I watched the movie 3 days ago but 5 times in total, lol. I got so addicted to him, I feel I know everything about him now. Watched all the documentary’s, interviews, and etc. Just can’t let him go for some reason.
As a young black man I'm highly disappointed I just found out about Queen due to the new movie. So much classic music I've heard but never knew its origin and now I'm hooked. Thank you Mr Mercury and Queen for the great music.
Love this Black Prince..Queen FOREVER...I'm Black also ..been a fan since the Highlander movie Ha Ha..my favorite song is Princes of the Universe..love QUEEN..enjoy these masters of rock its Queen no qualms or hang ups here..life is too short to not love what you love..you definitely deserve to..take care and please live strong
So sad I’m 45 years old, growing up hearing my mom in the kitchen singing this song, never knew it was such a touching story behind it. Sad indeed I’m happy I clicked on this documentary
@@kristidraine4543 bohemian rhapsody it’s about the group queen. It’s not completely factual as they have to make it a bit Hollywood but got most of the key points. And the guy who played Freddie rami malek did a good job
Blunt had me going there for awhile. Is it the real Freddie or actor ? Blunt did an excellent job portraying freddie. did jim catch aids? Is he still around ?
Jim had AIDS as well, but he died from "lung cancer". Though, people suspected it was bc of AIDS. But he still died young even if he was 60+ years old.
Something I just learned about Queen's fabulous front-man, Freddie Mercury. Mercury loved his cats, so much so that while on tour he would periodically call home to talk to them. His one-time girlfriend and long-time close friend Mary Austin would hold the cats up to the phone so they could listen to him speak. He also had portraits painted of them. That is so precious to me.
I think I read that he and Mary we actually married at one point. He dearly loved her and left her all of his personal things when he died. At least that's what I read. RIP Freddie, we miss you!!
As he is remembered by fans an ppl that really adored him. Im just glad he was loved . In real relationship we all want love the older I get the more real it is.
He will be remembered for everything. He is so admired and loved that people will study his entire life, every aspect so as to better formulate the equation of his genius....
They were basically the same then as they are now. Except now they have even better ways to spy on people. No one has privacy anymore with these vultures around.
He seemed to be surrounded by friends and lovers that really loved him and stood by him - this is important and revealing. The press then as now are little more than vultures and parasites.
Therein lies the reality of Farrokh Bulsara, one side of him was the hard working musician genius, the most talented entertainer the world has seen, loyal to friends and family a very compassionate caring man, who wanted to make the world a better place and wanted those in his life to enjoy life, then there was the flip side, a man ruled by extremes, drug use, alcohol, partying, sexual excesses that ruled one side of his life, he was kind of like two different people in the one body. The song the great pretender really did show the real Freddie Mercury.
RIP Freddie, gone too soon. I was 21 when he passed away. Still love Queen to this day. If there were drugs back in the 90s to treat HIV/AIDS as we have today, Freddie would be alive at 77 years old.
"Well I'm gonna cancel an entire tour because I have the sniffles." - every modern popstar. "Well Aids is eating me alive, and there's nothing even close to a cure... But I never have and never will play victim. I'm gonna spend the finite amount of time I have left to do what I love the most. Making music and entertaining my fans. "-Freddie Mercury
I'm glad he had amazing people around him when he told them he had HIV. Even a friend journalist, kept his word. Celebrity is rarely surrounded by good people. ❤
I'm just glad that Freddie had plenty of REAL friends around him and he had people who truly loved him and looked out for him. Other celebrities who have the superstardom as that of Freddie, can only DREAM of having that type of support network x
John blunt from Australia. I follow him on instagram. He does a tribute band for queen. He’s been in Vegas recently playing next to other tribute bands. I think it’s called legends.
It is so hard to believe that this beautiful and vibrant man left us almost 30 years ago. I still miss him so much and love hearing his fantastic voice. There will never be another man like him. Rest in peace sweet Freddie, I carry your memory safely in my heart....
Freddie once stated that all he wanted was to make people happy. During this Carona pandemic, he has lifted my spirit. You live in my heart forever Freddie!💝
Yes, Freddie said that even if it meant making people happy for a hour or two; it was worth it for him. And he certainly achieved that, didn't he? 30 years later - he is still making people happy; by looking at him perform and listening to his music. Everytime I watch him, he brings a smile to my face.
Well maybe. But that’s what it is. The end anyway. He died a horribly painful death. He did not just got to sleep. Atleast that’s what Jim said. And I believe him.
I can respect Freddie for not leading on Mary Austin. Sure he tried to hide it for awhile, but he finally was honest with her. He wasn't like some guys who marry the woman and start a family just to break up the family years later.
Reminds me of the movie, In and Out starring Kevin Klein, with Tom Selleck. The teacher was at the altar and when the preacher asked if anyone objected, the groom said that he did on the grounds that he was gay. The jilted bride went to a bar and sat beside a reporter (played by Tom Selleck), and she asked him if he'd marry her, and he said he was gay too. Then she went outside screaming, "Is everybody in this entire town gay?" That was foreshadowing to the school assembly scene.
@Truthfears Guilty So, if a man is questioning his orientation, he is not to have sex with women, period? Seriously, what the hell are you trying to say? 😂
I bawled at the end! I was grieving someone who has been gone for decades but he was such an incredible human being! Such a tragic story...I love this man, he will always be a legend!
@@meliharm That is probably true Melissa. It is believed by some and there is evidence in his songs that he had a demon. That demon will never die. I hope Freddie is not with him now but It does not bode well for someone's eternal whereabouts that they Glorified the Devil in their life, in their performances and he lived a deviant life style.. really sad.
Such a beautiful human. ❤️ I watched my brother Michael die of AIDS. After an awful battle...he just went to sleep. He died a year after Freddie. Rest all the weary souls. 🙏🏻 Freddie, Queen, will always live on. Always.
He called upon Mary in his final days. Faithful. Just a pity he lived such a hectic private life. Regrets happen too late. Not nice to watch the suffering in the video, but gives a clearer understanding, thanks for the video.
Wow reading through the comments and all of the negativity is unnecessary. Hes no longer living, so theres no reason to judge him now. What does that say about you? Let's remember him for his beautiful voice, his funky outfits and the music he allowed into our ears.
I wish Freddie could have lived a long life. He was a brilliant man && musician. We lose the good ones in horrible ways at times... Rest in heaven Freddie. We all miss you.
It's so heavy to watch a loved one or anyone wither away from AIDS I only had 2 aunts and they both passed from it. My aunt Mary got it in the 90s and lived with it for 25 yrs
No matter how big a star, we are all humans with the same fears insecurities failings n fear of our mortality. It's not for us to judge anyone. Totally relate with his need to hide his weaknesses.
In hell you do not RIP , but you burn for ever, there is no Peace there where Freddie is but torment. He and all those like him will have part of it. HELL.
If only the advanced drugs we have now could have been developed then. We’d still have Freddie and millions more including my brother-in-law. It breaks my heart.
I didn’t know Queen and Freddie Mercury before I watched Bohemian Rhapsody movie. If I will watch this documentary first, I am not sure I will be interested to him and Queen. Now I am a big Queen fan and searching all about Freddie and Queen. Thank you for making Bohemian Rhapsody movie and amazing actor Rami Malek and all cast.
It crushed my heart to see Freddie was ill and died. But even though he was very ill, he still thinks about the other people, people he love. And he was right, the show must go on! And he did, he did his very best until the end. You're a legend Freddie! We love you forever and always ❤😭
I was born 1988 and have not heard nor saw Freddie Mercury's face until these days when i watched his movie the other day, i searched for him online and realized that he was the person behind all good songs i was listening growing up as a kid in the 90's. All i can say now is Wow.... It Give me chills.
Freddy Mercury was so actively performing before 1988. In 1985 The Queen performed in Live Aid concert. 1988 is the beginning of quality music's death. After this year 1988 the world stopped producing quality music slowly and gradually. But 1988 had hits I always remember, Sweet Child O'Mine - Guns n Roses, Pump Up The Volume - M|A|R|R|S.
Thank you for your words of compassion for people you’ve never met and will ever be able to meet. I truly identify with genuine humanitarian love. And I really wish there were more mees and yous in the world. There are so many people in the world who are still contracting and dying of this disease. Not to be a downer or to squeeze even more out of our bleeding hearts, I just want the idea out there that there are many people, in Africa especially, dying from this disease they might not even know that they had. This idea extends to people in our country who, die in the name of accepted levels of violence and/or intentional/unintentional ignorance of the quality of living standards of people we don’t even know we should notice every day. And the idea that, “well at least it doesn’t happen where I live…” is really the tragic result of historical separations to prevent the understanding and rectification needed to take off our rose colored glasses to realize “the others“ among us who deserve so much more than to be driven by, driven around, flowen over, for the sake of safer/habitual/familiar, emotionally convenient routes that history will look at much more differently than we, in the moment, are capable of focusing on unless a pandemic forces us to watch our nation state approved murderous gang of white male midgets smother to death a gentle giant in the streets of our cities and disregard the lives of our exploited immigrant zero employment rights labor force packages our meat while essentially their families die of illness while we complain about being isolated in the world that allows me and you to communicate in this very comment section. RIP George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, every single immigrant who works for peanuts in our country at Chinese owned factories and also the labor force of an ironically named Amazon company who gives zero F’s about all of us, this planet, as they fly a d-shaped spacecraft a little bit higher up in the atmosphere as they fish around the change in their pockets to pull out two middle fingers pointing down at the rest of us, because they think and we except, that that’s all we deserve. If you’ve read this far, thank you so much and please have a wonderful day! Be kind, be genuine and be safe, I love you.
Had second row seats to see Queen when I was a teenager. Freddie's voice was phenomenal. The thing is, people, extremes don't work. The lesson here is that if you go dancing with Mr. Brownstone, you're going to pay the price. It doesn't matter what it is. It's too bad that his talent and just being alive wasn't enough for him. It's too bad that being alive and the miracle that is this existence is taken for granted by most of us. We live like we're never going to die and have the nerve to be bored, mean spirited to others, and waste away the gifts we're given. Every second that marches by, we never get back. And, fuck, what you wouldn't give to get all the wasted time back at the end. I have no regret that I chose to go to the concert. I have never heard anyone sing with that power since.
young lady... everything you said in the middle of your words is so true 🌸 I saw them in 1978 with my brother , Dominick, R.i.p. at The Forum... utterly amazing..
@@korro5870 some best friend.. she fucked his friends off and kicked jim and all of them out some without all their belongings and gifts freddy gave them..shes awful..! AND she got rid off the only shrine the fans had to come to
JIM loved him till the end as well.. and mary wasnt even there when he died as she claims to have been..she was at her place..which is fine coz she was pregnant etc but she made out she was holding his hand when he died..liar! Shes a witch
Freddie was such a charismatic amazing performer with incredible inner strength. He always gave 110% to his music. It’s a reflection of the type of person he must have been that after his diagnosis the loyalty his friends displayed by rallying around him and ensuring his privacy. Shame on the media for hounding him and giving him no peace at the end of his life. People might not realise the huge stigma, shame and prejudice that surrounded a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS at the time. He managed to achieve so much after a difficult and challenging childhood. I’m glad he had so much loving support around him when he passed.
Cleveland Society why are you commenting on every fucking comment??? I’ve seen you on another freddie mercury video too. Do you have no fucking life?? We get it you don’t care for Freddie/Queen... just shut the fuck up already
@Robert Gardea yes and i think Freddie had the most powerful voice in rock music but Elvis owns the name as king of rock just like Michael jackson is king of pop, james brown father of soul.
i know this movie is about hiv but i do not believe he would want to be remembered for a disease. i think of how creative and gifted his music was and wow his performances! He cared about the music and crafting his music uniquely. Remember this. No one should die of aids and no one deserves that no matter how they lived life. He cared enough about his fans to perform until he couldnt no more.
The only did this because many people miss him and also everytime his death/birthday comes around they remember all the memories that he had made. They made the documentary on this because he was a legend and so was his music.
One of my best friends Michael Shane Bryant was a pioneer for the drug AZT. I remember going to the hospital and he did not want me to come close to him, his Mother was standing at his bedside, I walked right up to him and said all the times as we shared a cigarette or kissed, it was a little late and grabbed his toes and he started to cry. I asked what was up and he told me how hopeless it was, I told him "No, Michael you ARE the hope for a multitude of people in the world, YOU are a pioneer!" This was late 1985, Michaels parents took him home and he died early 1986. I love and miss you, Michael!

I have him as a friend on f.b.....he doing great with his band, have did for many years. He is Freddie Mercury now. Much much better than this silly Adam Lambert!!
They are all taken far too young. What what a legacy they all leave behind. Freddie, Bowie, George Michael, Maurice Gibb, Robin Gibb, all gone, but they all live on through their timeless music. I am a huge Bowie fan, strangely (or not) the Bee Gees have helped get me through my dad’s death, I love Queen, all pure gold and timeless music. I love and enjoy them all
I wasn’t alive when queen was around but I know my pop culture and it’s sad but god chose Freddie Mercury to inspire millions and millions of people. We all miss this man we all love him. RIP Freddie Mercury.
I did. Long time fan. Loved it. Freddie inspired me to play the piano as a boy and I realized in this movie, I never mourned his passing. I'll admit I cried while watching. Couldn't help it.
Sacha Baron Cohen would have made the movie perfect and real. And not sugar coated and bland!! Sacha wanted to make it factual on ALL aspects. That bitch Brian May wouldn't 'allow' it. Very disappointed...
"*It's AIDS, darling.. I've got AIDS!" What a great documentary! I can hardly wait for the movie. I hope it's done well. Freddie was MAGIC! Thanks for sharing.*
Britt Brat i keep hearing about a movie? What movie? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Im from michigan us... is the movie coming out here??? i neeeeeed to know!!!!!
LOL! Yes, It's coming out here(US). It stars Remi Malek & it's called, "Bohemian Rhapsody". Releases on November 2nd, 2018. It looks incredible!! Here's the trailer: th-cam.com/video/9Y7X6le5qmE/w-d-xo.html Can't wait!!! 🤗💕
It's beautiful the way the guys closed ranks & rallied around him. Their 1st instinct was protection for their brother. ALWAYS respecting his wishes & staying loyal to him the way family should. That love is rare & it's one big reason why QUEEN is so special..they're the real deal!...(daahling)! 😘
I cry every time I watcha documentary or the movie starring Ramy Malik. He was such a nice guy that just ended up in a sad situation. I wish things could have gone differently for him. The world really did lose a treasure when he passed away! :(

I still have petals of a rose Freddie game me ages ago. People threw roses on the stage and I was backstage and he gallantly handed me one of them.
Daniela Staples Any stories?
Not really. Queen was really hard to get a backstage pass for, they were pretty stingy. I was standing backstage and people had thrown flowers onto the stage. Freddy picked them up and as he was walking past me, gave me a peck on the cheek and handed me one of the roses.
LUCKY

You're lucky that's ALL...he gave you. 😳

Freddie Mercury is the greatest and most versatile talent in the history of rock music. His voice is incredibly powerful from rock to jazz to opera. He was a charismatic, brilliant performer and conqueror of the audience. He is a musician of centuries and his legacy remains.

I'm the 💯 th like of this comment, ❣️... A Century is 100 years,❣️... The songs he echoes, Still 🎶 thru the many tears 💦, ❣️... My ❤️ aches 😭 STILL Everytime I hear Bohemian Rhapsody❣️... #ManMythLegend Amazing ✅🤔 isn't words enough for him 😉🙌❣️... Brilliant Mind, Overwhelming Power behind his drive for Life n Passion for Music,❣️No matter what aspect you look at it, it's Breathtaking 💯👏💥👏❣️...
Isadora King thank you so much. You described the essence of Freddie Mercury. I am fan forever. Not just of his singing, songwriting and creativity but of his kindness.I love how tender and loving he treated Mary's kids. In my book he is incomparable.
I agree 100%. You can't imagine how frustrating it is to have a friend who won't even listen to him - I just want to punch her for not being open to who I consider the worlds greatest musicians and performers; like so many of us here.
I will always remember him for his music. The thing that I find to be more sad than the aids diagnosis, was his need and desire to be Truly Loved. Not for his image but the man behind the image. Living in the light of fame and the expectations of fans can make you question the intentions of people who claim they love you. I’m so glad he found someone who was able to love him and not the image before he died. I don’t really know for certain, but I think the life of someone so famous and so surrounded by others can be lonely.
Shhhh
People did love him. It's sad that he never felt it. 😔
Class act until the end!! We really miss you!
@@joshuarose5746 why? I think that he was such a talented and sensitive human being. Living in the spotlight can cause you to lose yourself.
There will never be another Freddie Mercury. His legacy lives on in his timeless music.
Man the guy acting as Freddie does an AMAZING job!! He talks just like Freddie did. That is pretty rare. Bravo!
They should had used John Blunt instead Rami.
Who is guy as Freddie ini this video ?
Vania -John Blunt, he was chose to the docu it was on REELZ cable channel on Direct TV not long ago. He's a performer and does Freddie to a "T". He's on Fb and here, he does perform Queen songs too. Enjoy.
Awesome performance; striking resemblance , even the voice timbre is disturbingly similar...
To Vania, The guy in this video IS the real Freddy Mercury - not an actor.
I like it that he calls everybody "darling". Such an endearing term. He was such a loving man.
@Elizabeth Porter I was thinking the term "darling" is very sweet , like a term of endearment...that is, until you use it for everyone, it loses all meaning🤷♀️
Chris Kalogeropouls especially with the English accent so sophisticated
And there I was thinking that Mariah had made dahlin popular.
Nah, just british
Me too, darling. 😀 it is nice to hear.

emily starr not really, actually the union voted 90% for slavery. Wow, way to stereotype people and also be wrong. The Union was led by terrible people, not the confederacy. Get a history lesson, jackass.
I could live 200 years and would never even come close...
Of course he would say that.What was the average lifespan back then,in the 1860's? All the way up to 1942,it was 42 years old in the USA!I would be dead of old age already!
Rick Seely Average lifespan is heavily affected by infant and child mortality, (which before vaccines and the like was quite high), in the past if one made it to adulthood and didn't die in a war or plague, you actually had a pretty good chance of living a pretty long life...
Awful bloody illness, he suffered so much and whilst being constantly harrassed by the press. Vultures! They wrote such nasty stories, he deserved so much better. His contribution to music was immeasurable. Queen made so many iconic songs. I like to think Freddie is somewhere better being his fabulous self and still entertaining the masses in the great beyond! ( plus having far too much fun to entertain any notions about "resting in peace" love you Freddie mwhah ❤
Aaaa
The press wouldn't get away with the crap they used to ask him and write about him.
Freddy was a fighter.....he remains a legend! His friends and family loved him so much. The media was not too kind; they forgot he was human. Rest in internal peace
I agree with you princess,he was such a great man, you have the best comment ever🤗😉🤗
I'm so sorry for anyone and everyone who has been affected by this disease. My thoughts and heart goes out to you. I'm sorry.
Just don't do it again, mister.
Peter sienna If you take a step back and look at what you just said, look at all the hate your beliefs bring, religion not only brings hate but brings humans apart, it’s disgusting, think about what you grew up with
I agree with you
hate was brought by the BIBLE when peace was taken from the earth so that the different races would slaughter one another see REV. 6:4 Those are the nations that JESUS spoke of at Math 24:7 when JESUS said Nation would rise against Nation. Look whats happened . 2 WW and a 3rd on the way.
Peter sienna welllllllll....you can get infected other ways than gay sex. Negligence of dirty medical supplies, dirty tattooing needles, breast milk, vaginal fluids, sharing needles for illegal drugs, sharing diabetic tools, dirty nail tools from those Asian “fast shops”, dirty dental supplies.....the list seriously continues hahah the bottom line is if people were not so negligent in any scenario that involves contact with your body we wouldn’t have issues like this. Lol
How awful that this disease took so many lives, including this legend and musical master.
Jet season exactly. Sad to say that's why there will never be a cure...
@@lisa_m3x. Ohhh there's plenty of aids "cures"! Just hard to find natural ones here in the States or other Corporate controlled Western countries. Many aids patients do go to 3rd world countries to find thier "aids cure". But the media is of course silent about this.

Gay, straight, bi - never was important. He was the most talented singer, songwriter, performer of our age. I truly loved his music and still miss him.
Yeah, morality is never important.
THANK YOU, Random Person! I agree - one's sexual preference has NOTHING to do with morality!

Hush up you silly person
@@patriciarowe3431 Thank you 100%! Very well said! The way people act now a days is pure unacceptable and they will face the wrath of God!
I'm sick of seeing these anti-Rami comments ,he did an outstanding Oscar worthy performance...ok this guy looks a bit more like him but Rami captured his mannerisms and practically turned into him for the film
I agree rami had a voice coach, movement coach, and studied every video of Freddie he could find and you can tell from his performance. He nailed the roll! Rami completely embodied him and the film was a great tribute to Freddie and the music of queen
You are absolutely right! He did an awesome job.
I also agree, how can any one try and be Freddy. Imposable ! But Rami did the best job any one could have done, there are always assholes saying shit, any thing to cause division and they get off on causing controversy, just to hear them selves speak. Great Oscar to come for Rami , Great job ! Rami... If Roger and Brian liked it, then that is all that matters, these people act like they knew Freddy. NOT !
Agree
Sexy Attraction just look in the comments lmao ,let me give you examples:
“This guy looks more like Freddie that Rami Malek..” ,”this guy acts more like Freddie than rami “,or even “This guy should have gotten the role not that rami guy “I see these kind of comments everywhere at the moment,it pisses me off he did an amazing job
,,If I'm still alive, I'm gonna come back." The hardest words I've ever heard. Rest in peace my Hero!🖤
This proves that you have to be cautious with your life as it can lead to so much suffering
No one should ever be forced into revealing their medical diagnosis. It's so sad how the press treated him
I disagree! If you are passing something that can hurt someone else, it is no longer about you.
@@robincramer8080 you should provide that information to your partner, not the general public.
He was sleeping with a lot of people. I am sure there was some he didn't even know. And it is in blood and people who took care of him had a right to know what was going on!
@@robincramer8080 so testing wasnt as advanced as it is now. He was not formally diagnosed until 1987. Symptoms may not show for 10 years. It a possibility he probably got the initial infection around the late 70s when he was first traveling to NYC. So around the time he was probably spreading the infection he didn't even know he was positive. By the time he was formally diagnosed , he shared that information to his close friends. He partner at the time was well aware. He had no responsibility to share that information to the press. He owes the press nothing. He was always very private about his life so why would he need to make an announcement to the press?
This was all before HIPAA of 1996 in america, and probably before or after the same time in England, securing information on patients and their health history.
Bohemian Rhapsody=masterpiece.
Genius of Music
To those here who seem to delight in the misery of this man's pain and death: What did he give you, other than some of the most sublime music of the late 20th Century? Did he hurt you, did he impact your lives negatively? Why are you so hateful? What is it about _you_ that makes you feel compelled to comment in the way you do? Your faith? Is it in line with the behaviour that your God expects of you?

What a good actor and documentary! Iwatched this after watching Bohemian Rhapsody. I can’t get his life out of my mind :(
His music talent, voice, costumes, movements on stage, microphone, passion, the way loving his cats and the way saying darling to everyone, kindness and sincere heart, energy, theeth, smile, songs, Mary, Jımmy, relationship with band friends, performances and illnees -I mean everything about his life- effected me so much :( ı wish ı would born a few years before and see them on stage. He tells us everything about his life with his songs. When ı listen to him now ı feel lots of things.
RIP legendary man. We still love you..🙏🏻
gökçen baytok this is literally me
gökçen baytok omg same I just can’t get Freddie off my mind everyday I just wake up thinking about him it makes me sad even tho I never met him😔💔
I'm here too. I watched the movie last night and have been watching all these documentary all night. What a wonderful and amazing man Freddy was.
Miss Angie! Miss Angie! Miss Aaaangie! Same I watched the movie 3 days ago but 5 times in total, lol. I got so addicted to him, I feel I know everything about him now. Watched all the documentary’s, interviews, and etc. Just can’t let him go for some reason.
gökçen baytok same here. it’s just crazy the effect the movie had on me!
I love the way he said "darling" . Respect.
As a young black man I'm highly disappointed I just found out about Queen due to the new movie. So much classic music I've heard but never knew its origin and now I'm hooked. Thank you Mr Mercury and Queen for the great music.
Yeah me too, never knew that it was Queen's songs
KnOcKs101 Prime I hope rock has blown your mind like it did all of us who grew up on it..
Good for you! You appreciate quality music!
Love this Black Prince..Queen FOREVER...I'm Black also ..been a fan since the Highlander movie Ha Ha..my favorite song is Princes of the Universe..love QUEEN..enjoy these masters of rock its Queen no qualms or hang ups here..life is too short to not love what you love..you definitely deserve to..take care and please live strong
Ive heard of them but im only like a year in to music
So sad I’m 45 years old, growing up hearing my mom in the kitchen singing this song, never knew it was such a touching story behind it. Sad indeed I’m happy I clicked on this documentary
After watching this I was forced to download .. the great Pretender..🙏💙
Right
Do they have a full movie out Abt his life idk him but I clicked on it to see who he was
@@kristidraine4543 bohemian rhapsody it’s about the group queen. It’s not completely factual as they have to make it a bit Hollywood but got most of the key points. And the guy who played Freddie rami malek did a good job
GOD.I was a teenager, I grew up with Queen loved them long before any movie. I just realized I'm old.Still have an album, yes ALBUM. 😢
Ditto 😭❤
The casting choice for Freddie in the documentary is phenomenal. The actor looks so much like Freddie.
Blunt had me going there for awhile.
Is it the real Freddie or actor ?
Blunt did an excellent job portraying freddie.
did jim catch aids?
Is he still around ?
Jim's gone too, due to lung cancer in his early 60's @@autumnt.allgood8895
Yeah, at first I was cringing but ended up being really impressed! The actor even did kinda the lip thing Freddie did, and had the same sort of lisp
I know he scared me for a minute
Jim had AIDS as well, but he died from "lung cancer". Though, people suspected it was bc of AIDS. But he still died young even if he was 60+ years old.
Something I just learned about Queen's fabulous front-man, Freddie
Mercury. Mercury loved his cats, so much so that while on tour he would
periodically call home to talk to them. His one-time girlfriend and
long-time close friend Mary Austin would hold the cats up to the phone
so they could listen to him speak. He also had portraits painted of
them. That is so precious to me.
what a stupid thing to do, lol.
MrsPoodle78 how stupid
MrsPoodle78 I completely get it. I loved him for that a whole bunch more.
I think I read that he and Mary we actually married at one point. He dearly loved her and left her all of his personal things when he died. At least that's what I read. RIP Freddie, we miss you!!
Yes he was a crazy cat man
I think Freddie would rather be remembered for his music than his disease
Don't mind them ignorance, wether Aids or not people still die by motor and car accidents and other issues.
So true
As he is remembered by fans an ppl that really adored him. Im just glad he was loved . In real relationship we all want love the older I get the more real it is.
He will be remembered for everything. He is so admired and loved that people will study his entire life, every aspect so as to better formulate the equation of his genius....
Of course we will remember him for what he was-a great musician, writer, singer and songwriter.
Whatever his sexuality ..he's still a LEGEND a MUSIC GENIUS AND A VERY TALENTED ARTIST ...RIP MR.FREDDIE MERCURY😭
Why would his sexuality effects anyone,that like firing u from work because u like feets
Yeah how does his sexuality have anything to do with it either way
@@jamilahcastro8579 sexuality has a big impression on artist depending on the type of music they make
Promiscurity is the reason for a great lack of interests at all, for wars and many cruelty more. You all are more or less victims of propaganda.
A azz
The press were evil to Freddie. He sounded like such a nice, hard-working decent guy who did not deserve the vultures that preyed on him.
They were basically the same then as they are now. Except now they have even better ways to spy on people. No one has privacy anymore with these vultures around.
He seemed to be surrounded by friends and lovers that really loved him and stood by him - this is important and revealing. The press then as now are little more than vultures and parasites.
Therein lies the reality of Farrokh Bulsara, one side of him was the hard working musician genius, the most talented entertainer the world has seen, loyal to friends and family a very compassionate caring man, who wanted to make the world a better place and wanted those in his life to enjoy life, then there was the flip side, a man ruled by extremes, drug use, alcohol, partying, sexual excesses that ruled one side of his life, he was kind of like two different people in the one body.
The song the great pretender really did show the real Freddie Mercury.

He looks exactly like freddie, even though i wasnt born when freddie was alive im still a young fan no matter what
RIP Freddie, gone too soon. I was 21 when he passed away. Still love Queen to this day. If there were drugs back in the 90s to treat HIV/AIDS as we have today, Freddie would be alive at 77 years old.
How old are u this year
Voice is lost in world aura n it's staying in Ter but not with new present word. . I m very new fan of him.
I was 21 too, I'm 51 now.
I remember my favourite LP (vinyl) from the QUEEN, it was the 80s.
I was 20 years old when he died he was the greatest musician ever

I'm glad he had amazing people around him when he told them he had HIV. Even a friend journalist, kept his word. Celebrity is rarely surrounded by good people. ❤

@Latabrine he's lucky that he didn't tell anyone in these times (2018)

I'm just glad that Freddie had plenty of REAL friends around him and he had people who truly loved him and looked out for him. Other celebrities who have the superstardom as that of Freddie, can only DREAM of having that type of support network x
I’m x
I agree. Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson didn't have that type of friends.
Unfortunately the horrible side of being famous . Who are ‘real’ friends or who are the ‘hangers on ‘ ?

He had A LOT of great music! Very talented
Me either
@@yellowbone233 Oh really?! I did t know that was his song. I love that one too.
It is so hard to believe that this beautiful and vibrant man left us almost 30 years ago. I still miss him so much and love hearing his fantastic voice. There will never be another man like him. Rest in peace sweet Freddie, I carry your memory safely in my heart....
Freddie once stated that all he wanted was to make people happy. During this Carona pandemic, he has lifted my spirit. You live in my heart forever Freddie!💝
Freddie lifts me up to. He's my beautiful music angel in heaven.
Yes, Freddie said that even if it meant making people happy for a hour or two; it was worth it for him. And he certainly achieved that, didn't he? 30 years later - he is still making people happy; by looking at him perform and listening to his music. Everytime I watch him, he brings a smile to my face.
The last thing Freddie would want is to have his story considered "tragic."
Jes, the. Tragic. Story, i looked this 1000x!!!!!!!!
Well maybe. But that’s what it is. The end anyway. He died a horribly painful death. He did not just got to sleep. Atleast that’s what Jim said. And I believe him.

I can respect Freddie for not leading on Mary Austin. Sure he tried to hide it for awhile, but he finally was honest with her. He wasn't like some guys who marry the woman and start a family just to break up the family years later.
Reminds me of the movie, In and Out starring Kevin Klein, with Tom Selleck. The teacher was at the altar and when the preacher asked if anyone objected, the groom said that he did on the grounds that he was gay. The jilted bride went to a bar and sat beside a reporter (played by Tom Selleck), and she asked him if he'd marry her, and he said he was gay too. Then she went outside screaming, "Is everybody in this entire town gay?" That was foreshadowing to the school assembly scene.
@Truthfears Guilty He likely wouldn't have been infected when he was with her. Even if he was, he definitely wouldn't have known about it.
@Truthfears Guilty Yes, but that doesn't matter if he wasn't even infected.
@Truthfears Guilty So, if a man is questioning his orientation, he is not to have sex with women, period? Seriously, what the hell are you trying to say? 😂
Fallout Girl true. not fair to the partner who deserves all of the one they love

No never but they use a speacial video to Jesse I song we want to remember him strong and healthy not sick!
@@meliharm That is probably true Melissa. It is believed by some and there is evidence in his songs that he had a demon. That demon will never die. I hope Freddie is not with him now but It does not bode well for someone's eternal whereabouts that they Glorified the Devil in their life, in their performances and he lived a deviant life style.. really sad.
i cant believe i watched the entire thing. its 7 a.m. i saw the sun come up watching this and became very emotional.

No matter how big a star, we are all humans with the same fears insecurities failings n fear of our mortality. It's not for us to judge anyone. Totally relate with his need to hide his weaknesses.

A gorgeous one of a kind unique voice ❤ Calming

I was born 1988 and have not heard nor saw Freddie Mercury's face until these days when i watched his movie the other day, i searched for him online and realized that he was the person behind all good songs i was listening growing up as a kid in the 90's. All i can say now is Wow.... It Give me chills.
Freddy Mercury was so actively performing before 1988. In 1985 The Queen performed in Live Aid concert. 1988 is the beginning of quality music's death. After this year 1988 the world stopped producing quality music slowly and gradually. But 1988 had hits I always remember, Sweet Child O'Mine - Guns n Roses, Pump Up The Volume - M|A|R|R|S.
You are gay.

Thank you for your words of compassion for people you’ve never met and will ever be able to meet. I truly identify with genuine humanitarian love. And I really wish there were more mees and yous in the world. There are so many people in the world who are still contracting and dying of this disease. Not to be a downer or to squeeze even more out of our bleeding hearts, I just want the idea out there that there are many people, in Africa especially, dying from this disease they might not even know that they had. This idea extends to people in our country who, die in the name of accepted levels of violence and/or intentional/unintentional ignorance of the quality of living standards of people we don’t even know we should notice every day. And the idea that, “well at least it doesn’t happen where I live…” is really the tragic result of historical separations to prevent the understanding and rectification needed to take off our rose colored glasses to realize “the others“ among us who deserve so much more than to be driven by, driven around, flowen over, for the sake of safer/habitual/familiar, emotionally convenient routes that history will look at much more differently than we, in the moment, are capable of focusing on unless a pandemic forces us to watch our nation state approved murderous gang of white male midgets smother to death a gentle giant in the streets of our cities and disregard the lives of our exploited immigrant zero employment rights labor force packages our meat while essentially their families die of illness while we complain about being isolated in the world that allows me and you to communicate in this very comment section. RIP George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, every single immigrant who works for peanuts in our country at Chinese owned factories and also the labor force of an ironically named Amazon company who gives zero F’s about all of us, this planet, as they fly a d-shaped spacecraft a little bit higher up in the atmosphere as they fish around the change in their pockets to pull out two middle fingers pointing down at the rest of us, because they think and we except, that that’s all we deserve. If you’ve read this far, thank you so much and please have a wonderful day! Be kind, be genuine and be safe, I love you.
Easy E shagged Freddy Mercury
my brother did....it took him quick after he was diagnosed
Had second row seats to see Queen when I was a teenager. Freddie's voice was phenomenal. The thing is, people, extremes don't work. The lesson here is that if you go dancing with Mr. Brownstone, you're going to pay the price. It doesn't matter what it is. It's too bad that his talent and just being alive wasn't enough for him. It's too bad that being alive and the miracle that is this existence is taken for granted by most of us. We live like we're never going to die and have the nerve to be bored, mean spirited to others, and waste away the gifts we're given. Every second that marches by, we never get back. And, fuck, what you wouldn't give to get all the wasted time back at the end. I have no regret that I chose to go to the concert. I have never heard anyone sing with that power since.
Tina Huston Why would you have regrets for going to a concert?
Amy Beth ?That was a very strange comment, eh? Haha ... However, I saw Queen in '79 and it was the best rock n roll show I've ever seen.
Tina Huston I agree with you
young lady... everything you said in the middle of your words is so true 🌸
I saw them in 1978 with my brother , Dominick, R.i.p.
at The Forum... utterly amazing..
Well said!
Mary loved him until the end.
So did jim
He had Mary as one of his best friends for life.
@@korro5870 some best friend.. she fucked his friends off and kicked jim and all of them out some without all their belongings and gifts freddy gave them..shes awful..! AND she got rid off the only shrine the fans had to come to
JIM loved him till the end as well.. and mary wasnt even there when he died as she claims to have been..she was at her place..which is fine coz she was pregnant etc but she made out she was holding his hand when he died..liar! Shes a witch
@@kidee761 Oh Really!!! Thats really sad again to hear.
I dont care about his flaws or his mistakes I still love him and i wish he was still alive!
Freddie was such a charismatic amazing performer with incredible inner strength. He always gave 110% to his music. It’s a reflection of the type of person he must have been that after his diagnosis the loyalty his friends displayed by rallying around him and ensuring his privacy. Shame on the media for hounding him and giving him no peace at the end of his life. People might not realise the huge stigma, shame and prejudice that surrounded a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS at the time. He managed to achieve so much after a difficult and challenging childhood. I’m glad he had so much loving support around him when he passed.
“It’s a race to see who goes first” DAMN that hit me with tears
Cleveland Society why are you commenting on every fucking comment??? I’ve seen you on another freddie mercury video too. Do you have no fucking life?? We get it you don’t care for Freddie/Queen... just shut the fuck up already
Yes it did
@@paytonhope6992 well maybe u dont have a life too since you have been watching the same videos as him byatch??
*This story broke my heart* ♥️
*Rip Freddie Mercury what a legend you were and still are* ♥️
Happy 72nd birthday to our King of rock Faruok Bulsara. " FREDDIE MERCURY".
Elvis is the king of rock
@Robert Gardea yes and i think Freddie had the most powerful voice in rock music but Elvis owns the name as king of rock just like Michael jackson is king of pop, james brown father of soul.
julian c Elvis is not. Black people created rock and roll all his ass did was steal
@@SW-yk5ny i bet
chris simpson Can you imagine him ever being 72? I can't!
Who else is here in 2020?
me I am here somebody has to have Freddie' back.
Me to
Hi. 👋
Helen in Colorado Springs; 12/14/2020
Dawn Heistand is here on 12 / 18 / 2020 ! thanx
i know this movie is about hiv but i do not believe he would want to be remembered for a disease. i think of how creative and gifted his music was and wow his performances! He cared about the music and crafting his music uniquely. Remember this. No one should die of aids and no one deserves that no matter how they lived life. He cared enough about his fans to perform until he couldnt no more.
Melody Morales nicely said
bad news travels faster than good news
The only did this because many people miss him and also everytime his death/birthday comes around they remember all the memories that he had made. They made the documentary on this because he was a legend and so was his music.
Melody Morales Exactly.
He lied and he hurt other people and infected others.
One of my best friends Michael Shane Bryant was a pioneer for the drug AZT. I remember going to the hospital and he did not want me to come close to him, his Mother was standing at his bedside, I walked right up to him and said all the times as we shared a cigarette or kissed, it was a little late and grabbed his toes and he started to cry. I asked what was up and he told me how hopeless it was, I told him "No, Michael you ARE the hope for a multitude of people in the world, YOU are a pioneer!" This was late 1985, Michaels parents took him home and he died early 1986. I love and miss you, Michael!

There are Windows in heaven and he's looking down smiling at you
Uhh
Im so sorry to hear this story.
Just very sad. He seemed very kind, pleasant and positive to everyone.
He gang banded his woman...
He was *positive* alright
Very positive!
He was such an incredible and talented artist, but also what an amazing man. RIP sir, you will never be forgotten .
I thank Mary, his boy frn n his body guard. They stayed with him till the end. Mary was super girl, she never left him.
A true love and respective friend
She is the only one who knows where Freddie is laid to rest
RIP Freddie. no one will ever be like you. you will be always remembered.
This actor must be Freddie’s brother, It’s just amazing how much he looks like him ...
funkyflights: And sounds like him too!
Yes, he dose ,✌🙏🙏🙏
Prosthetics and lip y
Lip sync
I have him as a friend on f.b.....he doing great with his band, have did for many years. He is Freddie Mercury now. Much much better than this silly Adam Lambert!!
They are all taken far too young. What what a legacy they all leave behind. Freddie, Bowie, George Michael, Maurice Gibb, Robin Gibb, all gone, but they all live on through their timeless music. I am a huge Bowie fan, strangely (or not) the Bee Gees have helped get me through my dad’s death, I love Queen, all pure gold and timeless music. I love and enjoy them all
I wasn’t alive when queen was around but I know my pop culture and it’s sad but god chose Freddie Mercury to inspire millions and millions of people. We all miss this man we all love him. RIP Freddie Mercury.
Trevor Who does everything there still playing
dear god please give us back freddie mercury and george michahel and we will give u kim kardashian and jacob sartorius
Alpha Tantum George Michael is dead? Did he die of aids?
no he died from a heart condition and george dies on christmas
Nick dominates is QUEEN! lol fucking love your idea
he can have Kanye too!
Not sure if you forgot but...you have Justin bieber in your profile picture...sit down.
Who just watched Bohemian Rhapsody the movie?
I did. Long time fan. Loved it. Freddie inspired me to play the piano as a boy and I realized in this movie, I never mourned his passing. I'll admit I cried while watching. Couldn't help it.
I did, movie is great but this documentary is incredable much more details , until Freddy's death. This documentar is much better than the movie.
I loved it, I cried in the theater
The movie was absolutely amazing. I want to watch it again!
Sacha Baron Cohen would have made the movie perfect and real. And not sugar coated and bland!! Sacha wanted to make it factual on ALL aspects. That bitch Brian May wouldn't 'allow' it. Very disappointed...
He kept on working when he had AIDS. Such a strong man. I think for me Queen inspires in every ways. ♥️ Love you Freddie♥️ love you Queen♥️
"*It's AIDS, darling.. I've got AIDS!" What a great documentary! I can hardly wait for the movie. I hope it's done well. Freddie was MAGIC! Thanks for sharing.*
Britt Brat i keep hearing about a movie? What movie? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Im from michigan us... is the movie coming out here??? i neeeeeed to know!!!!!
LOL! Yes, It's coming out here(US). It stars Remi Malek & it's called, "Bohemian Rhapsody". Releases on November 2nd, 2018. It looks incredible!! Here's the trailer: th-cam.com/video/9Y7X6le5qmE/w-d-xo.html
Can't wait!!! 🤗💕
Britt Brat You mean that PG 13 watered down mess? In America any gay reference short of a hand hold gets you a R automatically.
Too bad this part of his life wont be shown in the film.
Why not Fernado
It's beautiful the way the guys closed ranks & rallied around him. Their 1st instinct was protection for their brother. ALWAYS respecting his wishes & staying loyal to him the way family should. That love is rare & it's one big reason why QUEEN is so special..they're the real deal!...(daahling)! 😘
Props to the actor who played Freddie in this doc. Looked and acted like him perfectly. Great job
I cry every time I watcha documentary or the movie starring Ramy Malik. He was such a nice guy that just ended up in a sad situation. I wish things could have gone differently for him. The world really did lose a treasure when he passed away! :(
Rami just won Best Actor for his role as Freddie, so, so, so well deserved!
Donna Calderone just watched it I know I’m late but I haven’t felt this way since I first watched Selena or What’s love got to do with it Great Freakin Job Rami!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Donna Calderone Rami did a magnificent job portraying Freddie.
What's The Movie Called
Incredible actor to be able to capture his talanted act and singing
@@geniecestorytimes5953 bohemian rhapsody
2019 and still watching. The legend!
John Blunt is the man playing Freddie, he is a Freddie Mercury impersonator, if anyone who didn't already know.
disiskrazy d he’s AMAZING AT IT!!!
disiskrazy d Thanks-didn’t know but he is awesome!,
disiskrazy d ...THANK YOU, as I, for one, though I've followed Queen/Freddie and their music since the 70s, did NOT know....:)
He should’ve been in the upcoming movie instead of Rami
I prefer Rami
Freddie was truly the greatest of the greatest artists! Rest In Peace Freddie!
