    In 1984 Freddie was at the top of his game and looked healthy and gorgeous even though he was smoking (didn't inhale). Vocally I agree with others he is the best even now and no one comes close--I adore him as much today as I ever have.

    He doesn't almost look at the interviewer (I think it's because it's very noisy and the positions, how they are seater next to each other), but when he says "I am total romantic" (1.31), he puts the eyes on the guy, sheer heart attack! That's a statement that no matter who you make it to, if you are sincere and authentic about it, you must look the person in the eyes. He's so over the top.

    Given Freddie's last comments in the interview It's funny and sad to realize that this year, 2009, is exactly 25 years from 1984. Those of us who are passionate about music were so lucky to have him, and Queen, even if it ended in a way that was tragic and unexpected.

      Yes he does. I think they all have said that phrase "shot in the arm" in various interviews. Must have been very popular saying for a pick me up. There was the News of the World" tour interview where Freddie used the word jab but quickly recanted as it must also have other indications of drug use. He looked so trite...like a school boy as he begs his Mom..."Mother please 🙏."

    Although Freddie probably had HIV since 83/84, because that was the height of his promiscuity, he was unaware of the fact that he was sick until the media began to press stories connected him to AIDS. He began to get skeptical on his own health conditions and he noticed Kaposi Sarcoma appearing on his shoulder. He got it removed and they found that he had Full Blown AIDS.
    Now, I was not there, so I am not sure of the entire story, but this is how it was described in novels by his close friends

    No worries. Sorry I was a bit rough in my response, but I'm a bit over zealous when it comes to Freddie, and lots of people out there kind of make swiping comments regarding his sexuality. I know you meant nothing bad. Actually, in case you are interested, it was in fact Freddie, seeing that Brian was friends with Mary Austin (Brian and Mary went out on one date but decided to just be friends), who approached and asked Brian to introduce him to Mary.
