“He’s not thinking about dying he’s still thinking about living “ that hit me 🥺
🥺🥺 That struck my heart.
That emoji is so cringe
We should all hope to be so graceful.
Me too 😢
I cried at that part oh my god-
He‘s brutally honest about himself, his mistakes, his regrets. And really appreciative about the good people he crossed paths with. You‘re a good man, Elton John.
You're a great man my Elton I'm still standing
Just don't ask him about Hillary.
@@tobyfunk6858 Toby I don't understand what you're saying could you please clear that up with me? Please don't tell me Elton is friends with Hillary all my God I said oh my God stupid phone is acting up again Toby sorry but please clear that I'll put me I have no idea what's going on bro thank you very much have a good day or evening Wherever You Are and stay healthy my man!
True, but still i find him a very vague person for calling MJ as '' disturbing person to be around ''
Loner Phoenix he sucks up to the media for public attention and positive feedback from them
We should all be so fortunate to have a friend who remembers us like Elton remembers Freddie.
We should be so lucky to have a friend who thinks about us like Freddie Mercury thought about Elton John
I agree with you 100%! I'd surrender all for a friend like that!
You have to earn that.
yess😍
Crap on that, you obviously are gay.
Freddie, always droppin f-bombs and callin everyone darling.
well that is 100% not click bait
Yes thats true everything was fuck.
Like just before they went on stage in Wembley in 86 not sure wot night prob both nights I saw a clip of Freddie saying "oh come on let's fucking do this. Everyone was darling right back to his school days.
That wasn't an f-bomb... it was the c-bomb. Freddie said "Darling what where you wearing? You looked like the cunting Queen Mother.."
Well said. So were we in HIGH School in 1975!!!
he was an absolute legend. i miss him :((
“I still have the pillow case next to my bed”
made me tear up 😢😢
Me also. Fucking onions man...
Yes, I'm sitting here crying.
I know 😪
Not only Elton, Roger Taylor also still tears up at times when talking about Freddie. For his friends to still be so affected almost 30 years after he died, I think that says a whole lot about what an incredible person and great friend Freddie must have been.
Do you have the link.
and brian
John Deacon doesn't talk but I think he left his career owing to Freddie's death, so while we don't get his insight, I think you could say that his death affected Deaky greatly.
I remember watching Queen: Days Of Our Lives documentary, and Roger Taylor was just 300 yards away from Garden Lodge, and Peter Freestone phoned him, and he said, "Don't bother coming, cos he's gone", and that was on the 24th of November, 1991. That statement made me cry. Sir Elton John made me cry, for Freddie Mercury, again, when he said some kind words, about Freddie Mercury, too. Brian May said something similar to Sir Elton John, and that made me cry, again, for Freddie Mercury.
Deacon shunned everything post Freddie's death
That was Freddie Mercury in a nutshell. He knew he was dying, he knew he wouldn't see Christmas 1991 but he still made sure he bought his friends and family Christmas presents. He also donated a lot of his money to charity. He was a very generous man. I have read various storys too about how he would secretly send familys who were going through financial struggles money without them actually knowing where it came from.
Sad right
Wow really a great man
Just how George Michael was as well. Such kind souls.
Actually George did the same anonymously giving to needy people!!👍👍👏👏👏👏💕❤️❤️
JHOT 247 and you don’t know anything about Anan! You are literally just hating on people for no reason. You really have no life if you are just hating on people!
Thank you Elton John, for being a good friend/brother. Freddie Mercury will always love you.
Elton and Freddie were true friends. RIP FM X
RIP Freddie Mercury
@@linwoodwilliams5319 Some people make a lasting impression and FM was eternally iconic.
and we will always love him
Yes,dear
Wouldn’t it be beautiful to meet someone like Freddie in your lifetime. He knew what life was all about.
Yeah . .he did screw alot. . what else is there
I totally agree. Great man, great presence, wonderful man always thinking of others
Sir Elton John is the kind of friend, I would love to have. He is a genuine friend, who cares, for his fellow musicians, and other friends, such as, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, and Princess Diana, of Wales.
@@michaelasquith you know his public face, I bet you would get the treatment allotted for the masses... You live in a fantasy.
@@mike62mcmanus, can I ask you, what do you mean ?.
It just kills me when he gets emotional here when he talks about the painting that Freddie gave him!
It just shows how close these two amazing artists were. God bless you Elton and thank you for all the kindness you showed our Freddie.
@@fifermcgee5971 thank you five for that was a nice post. I'm still standing
@adam smith I'm not here to argue with you or fight with you but you really hurt my feelings about my Man Elton. Man is very compassionate a human a human attarian kind and understanding and he acid kind and understanding and he cares about his fans please don't call him those names anymore please it really hurts me because I love Elton 48 years I love his music and I love my man Elton
I know what you mean it is heart felt.
I'm more moved about that"fat rich man" crying than by a no one like you.
I never thought I would be crying over a damn pillowcase but here we are
Sameee
Ha nerd
in a way it is the sweetest thing and gesture, because a pillowcase is part of our bed, which is a place of rest, security, peace and quiet, and comfort. So by him giving him that pillowcase, It is as if he was trying in his own way to add to his peace and comfort, after and even before he passed away. Well that's how I think of it anyway.
He's not the only one crying
Freddie Mercury we miss you Freddie we all miss you 😢
You never really have left us, Freddie dear. Love you always. Good to see you on CZcams, my love. ;)
Youre alive!!!!!
You're everywhere, Fred.
This is a fake account this isn’t him
For all his extravagances, tantrums, and whatever else, Elton John has matured into one of the most humble, caring and commonsensical people in the industry. He tells it like it is, which so refreshing.
This really makes me miss Freddie
Sir Elton John really loved Freddie Mercury, and it shows. They were Sharon, and Melina, as their alter egos. Thank you, for sharing your time, with Freddie Mercury, Sir Elton John.
all time my best singer freddie
Rad King yes I can
@@radking9854 shush
Rest in peace freddie, the Queen of the universe shall never be forgotten ❤️
Elton is a great guy always thinking of others. But for his sake that it didn't take the lives of two of his friends for him to get sober, but I am ABSOLUTELY grateful that Elton has dodged all bullets
I, as well. Elton and Freddie got on so well because they're both the best kind of Humanitarians. If only everyone could live their lives like these true Men.
My two favorite Musicians of all time.
Love and Peace.
The deaths were going to happen regardless of whether he learned anything from it. Most people still don't learn from experiences like that and change their life so drastically. It's nice to see someone who was so far gone come back to reality.
Rock music you're so correct and thank you for your post it is very nice thanks a lot brother. I'm still standing
@@freakyears956
Well said! Congratulations.🎉
So true. Considering the lifestyle he had, drugs etc, he has been extremely fortunate to have conquered his demons and lived through it all virtually unscathed and has become a better man.
Someone up there must REALLY like him!
What a lovely interview. I am in tears for Elton and Freddie.
I have always loved Elton for the love and care he showed to Freddie and others. He wrote on the card of the funeral flowers "Thank you for being my friend, I will love you always, Elton XXX"
When Fred died a light went out in the world, a light that can *never* ever be replaced. No one has ever come close to being his equal musically...and I'm absolutely certain no one ever will. His loss still makes me cry just like the young child I was in 1991. A beautiful, funny and kind human being. Loved and missed... _til the end of time_ 💔
Lynsey C 💔
Lynsey C I still cry my eyes out too. I was absolutely devastated when he passed and I’m still devastated that he’s no longer here.
As a human rights activist I class everyone as my equal regardless of gender and age and nationality and sexuality etc. No human being is better than anyone else. WE ARE ALL EQUALS. I love FM & QUEEN was my favourite group. RIP FM. X
What a wonderful verse, Lynsey. I, too, am a Freddie Mercury(Farrokh Balsara)/Queen fan. The world lost a true legend in Freddie, the man and the entertainer.
How beautiful the sentiment Elton wrote on the funeral flowers card, literally, it brought tears to me eyes.
Freddie Mercury knew he was going to die one day, but he continued to work on making music, so for my part he deserves the best respect in the world!
Freddie Mercury: “Lover of life, singer of songs.”
~Brian May
Freddie was lucky to have Sir Elton as his friend. ❤️❤️
Sir Elton was lucky to have ( if he lived) Sir Fred as a friend
LageCZcams well that goes with out saying. 😀
Sir Elton John was a great friend, to Freddie Mercury. Friends are the family, we choose for ourselves.
We all were.
There are no words to describe Freddie Mercury, an amazing person. He will missed forever.
Hearing Elton John talk about Freddie makes me happy. The kind words he says.
Back in 1985 when Freddie when was on stage at Live Aid I stood about ten feet away from him. I was never so spellbound awestruck or mesmerised by anything in my life, as I was by Freddie. I remember thinking what am I going to do with my life when Queen have walked off stage. I remember when Freddie died I was so heart broken and even today if I am in Company and a song such as Those were the days of our lives I turn it off or change the music I just can not listen to him. I don't mind if I am on my own That day Freddie had 80 thousand people in the palm of his hand one thing for sure is no one in that stadium can say that they were not impressed by Freddie and Queen and no political leader in history has ever really done that. Freddie Mercury transcended gender and sexuality and anyways he was probably more of a man then is possible.
BB do you realize how lucky you were to be that close and to witness such greatness. Just returned home from Australia and en route watched for the 4th time "Bohemian Rhapsody" and could have watched The Live Aid concert over and over again. Our Freddie was dying and he did that for his fans and to help the starving people in Africa, no wonder the tears were rolling down me face. Thanks for your lovely comment.
@@fifermcgee5971 nice to know there are people like me out there.... thanks
You bet me darling.
Freddie had yet to be diagnosed w HIV when he performed at live aid.
Live Aid was in 1985, Freddie was diagnosed later.... around 1987. At that time... no one w HIV lived that long... as meds like AZT Ect... weren’t even around until late 1980’s- 1990’s.
Unfortunately the movie Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t 100% correct !
Oh you lucky man to have seen him live that would be my one wish in life
3:22 who else cried 😭😭 Even Elton John was such a great friend.
Yes 😭
It's kind of sad when the person you made memories with becomes a memory.
This Mannnnn has seen “PAIN” and he resonates with the LOVE he got from Freddie and the family.. proud of your Sir Elton John, for how you have reciprocated to Freddie and the World! 🌹🌹💐💐🌹🌹 The Pain in Elton's voice; when he gets all Emotional, while talking about Freddie !!
S o u r a p h s u r i Amen to that brother.
@@freakyears956 My Pleasure Brother ! I guess, at this moment - we can realise how much Pain and suffering is there, in the World; so let us try to resonate with the Humane element and spread LOVE. We all are going to Die One Day; but Let us do the Right Karma and Make GOD proud of us, for LIFE was given to us, to Spread Love and Joy and Do Good for all.
Sir Elton has been inspiring Adam Lambert to follow in Elton's path, and so the greatness continues!
Who else cried right when he started to cry
No one - just you 😭
@@david-iandawson bru
No what are you talking about?! It’s totally just you I’m just sweating, yeah that’s it
@@david-iandawson lol Thanks for that! I am teary and emotional after watching this and you just made me guffaw aloud :)
I was gone even before Elton teared up.
That teared me up watching this
Same
Anyone who doesn't tear up seeing this has no soul!
The Uk has been so blessed with some of the best bands ,singers ,front men , and song writers and musicians ever ,and Freddie and Elton were the cream of the crop
Yup, but don't forget the Beatles! Still the #1 band of all time!!!
So true. When they crossed the pond to America they really lit it up! 😻😻
Who could forget the Beatles😻😻
Floyd 😍😊
The whole world will always love Farrokh Bulsara ❤️
Dear Elton, many thanks for remembering RYAN WAYNE WHITE ( 1971 -1990 ) . It's a very sad story . May his soul rest in Peace for ever !
@@cheesymaracas3355 One of the people that had AIDS and spread awareness.
After watching this interview I have a lot more respect for Elton John. And he is right Freddie was a very talented and beautiful person.
Freddie died before I was born but yet he's one of my favourite people 😊 I've grown up with Queen and Freddie
God bless Elton John for supporting Ryan White . You’ve done a amazing job.
I can honestly say that both Freddie and Elton were down to earth, honest, talented who truly enjoyed and loved being together. We should all have a friend like these guys. I'm so glad that they had each other.
Pegita Mg I couldn’t agree more
Down to earth? Did you hear Elton describe himself?
These guys aren't down to earth, they are out of this world!
@@gregharrison5479 but down to earth at heart, they wouldnt make you feel like you were talking to a god if you talked to them
How can 199 people not get moved by this and give this interview a thumbs down?..Heartless..☹️
@Johnny J Wow
When I was growing up I loved watching Michael Jackson, but recently I've been watching and listening to a lot of Freddie Mercury. He is a very compelling character to watch and listen to- sheer star power and talent. And as per this clip, a very generous person. Thankfully his music will live on!
Both mj and freddie are absolutely incredible 🙂
I have a knot in my heart ❤️
Even Elton's words made me cry .. !!!
Freddie was so special, kind, generous and adorable ... !!!
Brian said he never heard Freddie complain about his illness or condition ... !!
Freddie was not a perfect human being ... but he was extraordinary in many ways ... so gifted, so creative ... !!!
The only things he regretted being so close to death was that he was unable to continue writing music.
As he said to Peter Freestone: "I have so much music inside that I can never write ... !!"
Dear Freddie ..., you are a legend
We still love you all ... !!!
💔💔💔💔
Freddie made the world a much better place.
And Elton too. We've lost Freddie years ago, but we still have Elton John, one of the last surviving musicians of the 70s that's alive and still continue to make music till this day. Both legends
The interviewer said at all when he said how amazing it would be to party with Elton John and Freddie Mercury!!!!
Oh, to be a fly on the wall!😁
David Walliams has a lot of love, and respect for Sir Elton John, and it shows. Well done, you did Sir Elton John, and Freddie Mercury proud. Great stuff. Thank you, for sharing your time. 👏👏👏
@Randy Rodes Who cared for the midgets, they were for entertainment and ridicule...
Did you see Rocketman?
I've always said I'll cry all day when Elton dies.
He was the soundtrack of my youth.
The world will always love Freddie ❤️
And I still wish to hear John Deacon talking about Freddie.
Why?
@@stevens5541 because he retired and never talked about him after Freddie died
@@strayslump He's aways said the pain was too great - which is understandable.
@@ItsSafehands Some people like to watch others suffer the indignity of re living horrendous pain and when they don't, they get called out for being dishonest. Makes the demanding party a bit of a dick if I'm honest.
He was too heartbroken he loved Freddy so much
Freddie and Elton are two
INCREDIBLE, beautiful SOULS.
My favorite two people.
I was in the audience for this interview, I couldn't help but cry when he described this scene.
Freddy and Elton are two magical souls that I have had the pleasure to experience in my life. True, Icones.
I totally agree that Freddie wasn’t afraid of dying, he wanted to make his audience happy and entertained with the Band’s music, which really makes me happy.
My dad has a friend who worked for an Italian tv channel back then and he went to London for an event. They went to a dinner in a restaurant with his crew one night. Freddie and some of his entourage and friends were there at one table pretty close to them. My dad's friend recognized Freddie, and being a big fan he asked a waiter to deliver a bottle of wine at Freddie's table. When Freddie noticed the bottle was offered, he stood up, went to my dad's friend table and shared it with them. They spoke for a minute and then Freddie asked my dad's friend for his home address. He didn't realize why Freddie asked for it but he wrote it down for him. Then everyone went back to their business. A few months later, 2 tickets for the Wembley '86 concert came in the mail.
That's how Freddie Mercury was.
I live in Indiana and remember Ryan and Elton and Michael Jackson they stood behind and beside that family and i love them for that
I love Elton,I wish he said some nice things about MJ
Thank you for your work at stopping AIDS. .Elton. We lost too many . Dedicated to my friend Ernie, who passed of AIDS, back in the early 80's.. I know about your work and I thank you so much.
Im tearing up😭, Freddie and Elton had a beautiful friendship. And this shows how much he cared about freddie
A beautiful tribute to Freddie Mercury and Ryan White. May they rest in peace and power. Continued serenity with your sober spiritual path Sir Elton.
Still very moving to hear Elton speak of Freddie... one in a million! there can be only one.
Love Elton and love Freddie , and love David of course , great interview
Freddie is spoken of fondly by all who knew him. Elton is very kind as well.
It just shows that he was a very nice person because nobody has anything bad to say about him
Well said mr Elton John.
Freddie was and always be a legendary artist.
I still Love him
Freddie ,immer in meinem herz
Elton John and Freddie Mercury are both gifts to the world
This is one of the most heart felt, real interviews I've ever listened to. R.I.P Freddie.
Great artist who speak about another great artist, so.. 😢😢😭
What a guy he can hold his head up high he is as wonderful kind man as the great Freddie Mercury was , wish more people were like them in this world .
Elton, Freddie, Queen. Oh my. My favourites. Eltons still here and I’m so glad❤️
I would hear stories like that from Elton in hours and hours non stop…
But Freddie really is a man above humanity for him risking his very short life to bring happiness to his friends…
I miss freddie mercury so much
Great interview! Elton is one of the last of the great British artists. David Walliams did himself proud, he never interrupted and so the interview just flowed nicely. Elton was brutally honest in revealing his flaws and as the same with all of us, sometimes it just takes something bad happening to another person, that we look within ourselves and we go on to become better human beings. Thanks for uploading.
Elton is so comfortable in his own skin. I love his candor in this interview. Very heartfelt stories about Freddie and Ryan.
And this will be many of those that admire and love Elton John when he dies. And it doesn't matter where in the world you are; so many entertainers have been part of our lives growing up, and when we lose Elton John and Betty White, it's gonna be a big hit but we have to remember to keep their memories going forward and enjoying what they did in life. Sir Elton John; We love you
Wow this is so nice, Freddie Mercury will always live on.
Elton, God out Ryan White and his family in your path to help you to step back and take a look at yourself. I am so happy to know that God and the White family were there to help you down the road of of being clean and sober. God bless you Sir Elton John. ✝️💖

I didn't know much about what was going on other than brief bits on the news but I took notice of Ryan because of Elton's involvement with the family. Ryan was a couple years older than I was. His situation humanized HIV/AIDS for me. Before then it was just an abstract thing, it wasn't personalized. I met Jeanne White a couple years after Ryan passed. So much has changed since the HIV epidemic started, we've kind of reached a stalemate with our drug therapies but it's still a serious chronic condition. Hopefully we can reach a point where there are no more new cases in coming years.
We need to focus our efforts on reducing HIV in the black community. I've known far too many black college students become positive here in the Atlanta metro area. They know the risk but they don't feel the risk. Some who have practiced safer sex make one error in judgement. I get it. I do. Condoms don't always feel necessary but trust isn't always well placed. Prep isn't always easy to take either; I know that from experience. I know there are investigative efforts to find other methods of prep.
Even if I already heard this Christmas Story, I sit here in my bed with tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my arms! 😍😢
No matter how may times I hear this story, I just want to give Elton a hug. Say what you want about him, Elton has a beautiful heart.
Elton always comes across as a really nice genuine bloke and obviously loved Freddie .
Elton, I felt every nuance of your love for dear Freddie! Thank you for opening your heart and showing what love looks like!💜💜💜🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That Ryan White story was so beautiful. Wish they’d put that in “Rocket Man.” It would have been so poignant vs. him just being burnt out and devastated by John Reid.
I mean, it was a great scene - how he left Madison Square Garden. But a transformative meeting with Ryan White’s family followed by a return to the madness, then culminating in the walkout at MSG would have been incredible.
I absolutely love this interview, it warms my heart that Elton cares for Freddie that much😭
I’m crying like a baby.
Hia eva. Me too
Beautiful RIP Freddie well done Elton David stay safe stay strong sending love from headway Nottingham UK xx
The two of them were obviously very close friends who thought very much about each other. It's great to know he had close friends like Elton.
Sometimes being empathetic is a curse I can't help but tear up when ever i see someone genuinely* get upset it's like reflex.
Freddie will never be forgotten, thank goodness he had great friends like you. God bless you.
You were a good friend to freddie god bless you elton john queen mother mary hi from Minnesota
Elton, you have such a beautiful soul and the warmest heart. I most admire those who secretly devote their time and money without wanting nor expecting any credit. You are so special, Freddie new it and so do I. Love you Elton.
“There’s nobody like you, There’s nobody the same as you, There’s nobody that looks like you.
There’s only ONE of YOU.
Don’t change it, please,”
They is some very good people in this world and we will always love but great people that have gone to a higher place and we will miss these great people Freddie Mercury was outstanding person but we must look to the great people who are still with us and stand with these great people like Elton John thank you sir for what you have done in your life outstanding 👏👏👏👏👍
I love you Elton John, always have. You are the definition of a beautiful soul ❤️ I was fortunate enough to see you in concert in Atlanta on 11-2-19. It was my dream come true as well as my 12 year old sons dream come true! We both cried several times and you actually made eye contact with my son and pointed at him and smiled!!! We both cried hysterically at that! You are beautiful and have done so much for AIDS. Bless you & your family and god keep you safe always! Thank you for sharing your music and your love with us all! You are so loved Sir Elton John! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw him 1980. I feel blessed
Thunder Liberalcrat I was at the Atlanta concert to I have seen Elton John in concert a lot he is amazing
Freddie (Queen) & Elton were my two big loves as a kid. I’m super happy I was able to see both of them perform live back in the day. Adore their hearts as much as I do their talent.
Curto Elton John desde 1972 e tive o prazer de assistir seu primeiro show no Brasil, penúltimo da turnê "Made in England" ,uma memorável sexta-feira, 24 novembro de 1995 ,no estádio Ícaro de Castro Melo (Ibirapuera),Elton John é o cantor com mais "DUETOS" realizados com outras celebridades da arena musical.
Lamentável que não tenha realizado duetos com Freddie Mercury e Dawie Bowie.
Freddie was a class act there will never be another freddie . You can never forget when a person is dying and they reach out their love to you
Man, what an inspiration he is. You can tell he had a really great conscience inside. He was just showered with fame, fortune, and revel but was able to learn it wasn't the right way to lead his life. I'm glad he was able to clean up and help and support other people as fulfillment instead of turning to partying. He's also a really great storyteller, but I suppose that comes naturally if you're an amazing singer/songwriter.
Two people I have immense love and respect for, Elton & Freddie
You'll never read this Elton but thank you for that story. I met Fred in 1985 and corresponded with him. He was something else. So giving, generous, polite, gentle, from another era almost. This touched my heart.
Thank you Sir Elton John.Freddie Mercury and Elton John are the actual reason for my journey in the path of music. Royal oaks, Spain 1974 Christmas present, cassette recorder with cassette of Elton John greatest hits.
Everytime you hear someone talking of Freddie, they always say how warm he was as a person. They are a handful of the lucky one that have met this star in real life.
Freddie and Elton = ...?? ..mischief 😆
Elton i was so sad for you tonight watching the news of you playing in Auckland and there you are doing a concert in Auckland, and you so sick. You are a real Legend just like Freddie, wish i could have got to a concert in NZ but it wasn't meant to be i pray you might come back and IF you do PLEASE Come to Christchurch . Love you Sir Elton John.
As a musician, performer and human being, Elton John is just top notch. I've been an enormous fan for almost 50 years.
Freddie Mercury was a good friend, I keep on hear Freddie's music everywhere I go now. I really wish Freddie Mercury live because Elton John and Freddie Mercury could be still close good friends. 😞😭💐🕊️💔
Elton is an amazing man. I would agree, he has had many phases in his life. His best one is now!!!
Just makes you wonder why the best people have to leave us so soon. Such a sweet story. 😢💔
Freddie legend and Elton John
That's really beautiful. I hope Elton knows how much we love him too
