It was on ITV - 21:45 to 22:30 - Watched it at work as I was spare.

All I can say is the bloke is an absolute genious. Regardless of what he got upto in his private life, his musical tallent and his ability as a performer on stage is something that no-one can come close to today

A true musical god who will be forever remembered for all the wrong reasons

 

I loved all of queens music, im gutted i missed this last night as i was out



R.I.P FREDDIE

 

I missed it but I do hope they repeat it.

He was a awseome musician and performer, seen loads of documentaries on him before and they showed how great he really was.

It was a huge loss for music when he died.

Did I hear he should be 60+ this week ? amazing how time flies !

 

I watched part of it when i flicked over and realised it was on...

His music was fantastic, and to me thats what i'll always think of him as... a bloody great entertainer!

 

Agreed mate. He was a legend. Apart from all his coke snorting throwing people out of limos after bumming them stuff

 

I thought the documentary was pretty average really. I've seen far better stuff on TV about him and Queen, but all that aside, there is no denying him as one of the greatest musical talents and showmen of all time.

 

What a Legend he was and still is - Really gutted i missed this.

Does anyone know if they are planning to repeat it???

 

More stuff on ITV2 on friday evening people

 

Freddies boyfriend (search Tony Bastin on google) was my next door neighbour, I used to see the man himself alot, a true showman,
shame.

 

the guy is a total legend, but still people talk about his sexuality like its a bad thing?so what if he as some people on here put 'bumming' etc its his own choice and im sure he wanted to be remembered as a show man not a famous guy that died of Aids

 

Hence my comment about him being remembered for all the wrong reasons

 

i kno Graceland it wasnt a dig at you mate just a general naggin comment lol

 

 

 

Missed it, literally got home as the titles were rolling. I'd even reminded my housemate the day before that it was on, then totally forgot about it myself

Hoping to catch a repeat later on this week

 

one regret of mine is that i never went to see them live.......must have been awesome

 

i bet he told you to stop skateboarding by his car



ok i can remember you saying it before


what a legend

 

whilst I wasn't the hugest Queen fan, he certainly had the "X-Factor". Otherwise known as playing/singing from the heart, and putting every ounce of passion into your performance. Like my old band. Our album wasn't that great, but people always loved the live show, mainly cause we bounced about like loons on stage, and I smacked the living shit outta my kit at every gig.

 

your album? Who were you Graham?

Do you beleive Freddie is dead or on a desert island somewhere?

 

Apparently it says that if you play Graham's records backwards

 

pmsl

 

Man is an utter legend

music ,talent ,songwriting is just outa this world

who cares if the man was gay and all that jive ,doesnt make u a bad person

R.I.P freddie

 

can only agree with whats been said, bloke was a ledgend

 

Queen has always been my all time fav band got all albums, no all the words, read the books ect, inmo no-one can sing better live than him, 1 wish to see them live with freddy doin what he does on stage

R.I.P Freddy

 

I totally agree Paul - regardless of sexual orientation (why should that matter anyway for that matter!) I think that he was probably the UK's best male male rock vocalist, and now he's gone, I think that Elton John fills that spot....

I love Queen, and was a tad gutted I missed it last night, but having dinner with a special lady made up for it

 

Well said mate, I try to remember him for all the right reasons!

A TRUE Legend! R.I.P Freddie.

Got the documentary video'd so will watch it one night!

 

Elton isnt even close IMO...

Freddie rocked wuite simply.

Alex

 

I saw it. One of very few programs I made a real effort to watch.

A true musical genius and somebody who's likes we won't see again in our lifetime.

 

Alex, I was just comparring vocal talent, as I agree they are completely different otherwise. But in terms of vocal talent, Elton is probably the best rock, male vocalist from the UK now IMO, and was number 2 while Freddie was number 1....

 

I had a chance of seeing Queen in the mid 1980's but could not afford the ticket on an apprentice's wages

Mark

 

Elton John...nah....

Best male vocalist to emerge out of britain IMO! is Geaorge Michael...Awesome voice...

 

i saw queen live with Freddy once, i wasnt very old and it was in 86,

Freddy Mercury was a lyrical genius and one of the worlds true showmen, an absolutely amazing front man with a band to back him up that mached perfectly,

there has never been a front man who could hold THE WHOLE of wembely stadium in the palm of his hands....no-one....other than Freddy

quite simply the music industrys biggest loss.....

rest in ROCK Freddy...

 

george michael.....yes agreed, when he sang with queen it was amazing, well not quite as amazing as Freddy

 

Freddie will be/is remembered for his music, not his sexuality end of

 

I disagree. Freddie will be remembered for his Music, His Homosexuality, and his flaunting of his sexuality.....because that WAS FREDDIE! Wouldnt be the same geezer we are talking about otherwise

 

Freddy WILL be remembered quite simply because he is Freddy

 

Total legend - Queen was the first music i ever listened to when i was a kid, still listen to it these days every so often

 

obviously. living it up with Elvis

 

And Diana and Dodi

 

I was lucky enough to get tickets to Freddies 60th birthday party at 'we wll rock you' in london, it was sooooooo good , crowd was great and brian may and roger taylor played a couple of songs at the end and it was so good loads of people in fancy dress. I have liked queen since i was little, mum and dad used to play them all the time so got into them, and my neighbour used to work on tour with queen and elton john and rod stewart got my parents tickets but i was too young

I always wonder what music they would have released if he was still alive
