I love the way Brian always talks about Freddie. They were obviously soulmates, best friends and Brian clearly misses him

[@JaneRtn]

R I P Freddie… deeply missed

[@nancywillets5268]

Great interview. The tribute for Friddie was phenomenal. It was well put together. Brian / Roger & John miss him so much. He is remembered at each concert & they will never forget him. But he is with them always& is with them at each concert they perform😇💔😪👑.

[@audreycaruso8111]

Miss you Freddie. Forever in our hearts..

Miss you darling. ❤💋😘 Simply the best ❤❤❤

[@JoseSanchez-pg4nz]

Mi apoyo a JOHN Deacon, creo que es el que a echo lo correcto, tras el fallecimiento de FREDDIE. Lo que a transcurrido después no es Queen.👑🇪🇦

[@johanjvrensb]

Who thought we would ever see Triple H interview Brian May.

[@brucefarnham6616]

[@chaelsonnen2747]

[@קמהליסאי]

😭💔

[@fooel7630]

0:14 is this a queen song?

[@biancabucciol323]

Non possiamo dire se il comportamento di Brian e Roger e stato giusto, chissà come si sarebbe comportato Freddie se fosse mancato uno degli altri componenti dei Queen ..... erano talmente legati e in sintonia che riesce difficile immaginare un futuro separato dal loro mondo, è diventato il loro karma

[@barrymitchell6444]

When May had hepatitis, and a duodenal ulcer, Queen could have brought in another guitarist like other bands to complete their tours. But they waited for him to get better both times.

[@joeredebom]

Not only is he a great guitarist. He also have worked with nasa for the new Horizons project

[@longliverocknroll70]

Him and Michael were takin too soon 😒

[@flora3177]

Brian May better not talk so much. Brian in every way proved it; how disrespectful to the legacy of Queen and Freddie Mercury. Brian sees his own benefit in everything. It's amazing what a vain person he is. This is very sad and it does a lot of damage. Terrible movie, BR and AL concerts are extremely dishonest. The memory of Queen and Freddie Mercury deserves more respect. There could be another way! Freddie Mercury's personal life belongs to Freddie only! It wasn't his illness or his intimate life that made Freddie famous, but his talent! Freddie was much more than a rock star. He was a genius. His music is the music of beauty and freedom, eternal. He was an intelligent, excellent, generous, very good person. A brilliant special unique diamond! He made millions happy with his radiant charismatic personality and his wonderful music.

[@HundXanthippe]

He pays the highest price an artist can pay. Every interview ends with a meanwhile bigger artist, whom he also has to praise. More punishment is hardly possible.

[@rossellazilli6394]

Sono completamente d'accordo! Freddie merita +rispetto! Comunque posso capire che Braian e Roger abbiamo voluto continuare a fare musica è la loro vita e probabilmente Freddie avrebbe approvato.Comunque alcune cose potevano evitarle,sono diventati la cover band di se stessi.😆

[@barrymitchell6444]

In my opinion, Queen's legacy has been marred with the Queen + PR and Queen + AL additions to their catalogue. All because May & Taylor still wanted to tour. Nobody needed to keep Freddie Mercury's music alive. It wasn't dying.

[@jamescollins738]

Yes Freddie was a genius but he was also a equal part of a band. He depended on the other 3 as much as they did on him. Queen was a democracy which Brian has alluded to many times. Freddie's legacy will never be tarnished but I also have the utmost respect for Brian and Roger. It's as much their band as it was Fred's and they knew him better than anyone. Who are we as fans to argue.

[@HundXanthippe]

@@jamescollins738 I would agree with you immediately if Brian May and Roger Taylor had created new songs. As it is, it looks like the real masters/ arrangers were Freddie Mercury and John Deacon. Especially since Freddie Mercury describes how he took apart "Radio GaGa" during Roger Taylor's vacation, rearranged it and made it a hit, according to the book "Freddie Mercury, A Life In His Own Words. It's like a worldwide, successful advertising agency, from their 4 members , 2 quit and the rest carry on with the old slogans.

[@connietaubert1776]

Queen was not just Freddie but all four musicians, and I loved them all ❤️. I have much love for Brian. However, I have no interest in seeing Brian and Roger perform with Adam Lambert. I find it disgusting 🤮

[@Olga-ge5fk]

Totalmente de acuerdo🇪🇦🤩

Or as I call him God
