Just watched a bio on him the other night. Tremendous voice.  |

It's hard for me to watch. I think Live Forever was the last song he recorded in the studio for the album. He's so thin, it makes me tear up.  |

Innuendo had songs with some powerful lyrics. Brian May said once that he thought Freddie's work on The Show Must Go On was his best ever. |

Yup you're right, The Show Must Go On I knew it was a song that had a double meaning to me. Nice job Fuzz. I remember Brian saying that Freddie would literally drag himself to the mic and then pound out these incredible vocals. I can't watch that video though Fuzz, just can't. |

Freddie's death was one of those "Where were you? What were you doing?" moments. I was just north of Centerville, Utah on I-15 driving my wife's POS Ford Escort.
Oddly, I was on the other side of the freeway driving a ten ton flatbed (also a Ford) when the Challenger tragedy was reported.
These days I grit my teeth and close my eyes through that stretch of road.
