[@paxcat7865]

Genius musician with passion in his blood. A man with class.

[@carmelle127]

Oh Freddie my heart is bursting with love for you. "I'm not married to music i'm married to love" well said my down to earth Freddie cause love is really everything. I love you immensely Freddie and miss you terribly. I remember always.

[@carmenjones9539]

Brilliant, artistic, talented, sexy genius...miss him so very much. I've loved Queen for decades and its just not the same without gorgeous Freddie.

[@maridepp53]

Carmen Jones: I feel the same way!!

[@simonegabriel6929]

Ja stimmt absolut,freddie forever!!! Niemand wird ihn jemals ersetzen können, n i e 😏❣😌

[@Jenniferde2007]

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.

[@Vebinz]

Why do I feel like crying everytime I see a Freddie Mercury interview? He left too soon.

[@KQuinn672]

Freddie: “A real archetypal Queen fan is a sophisticated one.” Me: *puts on monocle and top hat*

[@maridepp53]

Maren Denison: hahaha, love that 😂😂😂

[@janquennieramirez4389]

Oh dear, hold my champagne 😂

[@GiselaGiardino]

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.

[@merqury5]

he called us all sophisticated in the interview, the typical hardcore queen fan.

[@GreySkye-yl8ym]

1984 Freddie was at his peak hotness

[@neil73]

Now it IS 25 years from now. I hope you are getting lots of what you want, Freddie, wherever you are in the afterlife!

Married to love! and to people! great :)

[@Motown-1966]

Which makes ya wonder: was he actually married to Mary Austin but never publicized it like a lot rock stars did back in the day.

[@darrahlane5975]

@@Motown-1966 - no it was just an expression he used. He was not married to his work. Work was work to Freddie. He was looking for somebody to love. He always was. It was the most important thing in his life.

[@MetaGirl67]

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.

[@josephfleetwood3882]

I read this comment in 2009 and thought the same thing. Now 1984 is 40 years ago. It seems unimaginable.

[@mariatornatore9352]

Freddie mi fai impazzire🌠

😍oh man Freddie is so intelligent.

25 years from now :(...

[@tasha1357]

[@merqury5]

Freddie called me(ok us then) sophisticated, I can't spell it but I sure like it. And he really was drunk here. I do love him as a person.

[@Gardenlodge4691]

He looks so gorgeous here!! 🔥🔥🔥 Besides music, Freddie definitely had a one track mind. 😂

No stopping four unstoppable super powers. They are music, they are everything Love Queen forever and a day.

[@Yo1969Yo]

@egocrusher Freddie said many times that he was totally different off stage. This video proves it. He was just a regular guy. Quite nature. Freddie was able to separate his on stage antics and his private life. Today's so called "performers" need to learn from Freddie.

[@maridepp53]

Yo1969Yo: Good point!

[@curiousme1111]

you are so right freddiesfavorite with every dose he was hastening his death we still love you freddie

I'm a great Queen-Fan ! It's fantastic music an Freddie Mercury had a fantastic voice !

[@scandal101]

Woah never saw this, thanks!

[@STRATCAT101]

the first second and third Queen albums proved without a doubt they are a heavey rock band,with great vocals,Brian may is really smokin on the first Queen album,Roger is one of the best drummers in rock and one hell of a singer androger deacon is also one of the best bass players.Queen is a very tight band,now Freddie is the best singer in rock'n'roll he can reach the highest notes that i ever heard.They really are killers.

All will be good. Now it`s time of truth.. Believe in the truth, and it will be revealed!

[@bibapriel6280]

If you somewhere find how Freddie came at parties so - you need to know it is just on stage freddies persona,P.Freestone said ,Freddie was too shy,and insecure but he played his role flamboyant,and arrogant persona so when he went at party ,he just played what people wanted from him,just between two-or four closets friends he was himself-and Freestone said at that parties was never sex orgy,or something like that,If Freddie wanted have sex ,he did it in privacy

[@123rosebuds]

He would give a thoughtful interview.

this is probably one of the most sobering videos on youtube just from that last Q and A. this is deap!

[@InJapan74]

i like how he changes from 'I am a total romantic' to '...a lot of sex' hahahahaha

[@KQuinn672]

I can’t get over it! Freddie Mercury with growing pains dad... lol

[@pepy7779]

Freddie is so sweet! He's pretty drunk here though, esp in the beginning, you can tell....'it's a shot in the arm'....I think he likes that phrase....uses it in a lot of his interviews. Last part is sad...25 years from now - a lot of sex.....well I hope he's happy in Heaven or wherever....

[@Motown-1966]

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 🙏."

[@darrahlane5975]

@@Motown-1966- I loved that "Oh mother please!" He was afraid his mom was gonna see that interview and think oh god what's he been up to now! lmao

did he say Marriage is crap. I like him.

[@lovevadimjaclyn]

guys can we talk about Freddie withgout mention that fu** aids? he was a big man and an amazing artist before a aids victim. respect him!

[@marvalstith2749]

Enjoyed this interview - until I read the comments. Freddie looks good, sounds good, project honesty and his terrific intelligence. Love this! (However being posted over 15 years after his miserable death - "ugh" regarding too many of these comments. If only the people and the governments had better and promptly responded to the virus killing a segment of the population.)

[@kaltas7]

I see - yes, I heard it. I liked it too. Thanks!

[@GeeMeddowsTaylor]

Many thanks! :-)

[@jessa121890]

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

[@blindterrytucci2752]

Freddie must've powdered his nose before the interview.

[@lorireece1970]

[@October4700]

Instead of making up theories about Freddie, it's better to watch the documentaries and read some books. Several people who knew him well have provided reliable information.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Freddie Mercury (nacido como Farrokh Bulsara;​ Stone Town, Ciudad de Zanzíbar, actual Tanzania, 05 de septiembre de 1946-Kensington, Londres, 24 de noviembre de 1991) fue un cantante y compositor británico, conocido mundialmente por haber sido el vocalista principal y pianista de la banda de rock Queen. 78 AÑOS 45 AÑOS 33 AÑOS.

[@KTR2022]

@missi44 actually, I've read the same interview as michelleleawaldrop, with Mack and he does say that Freddie was not that happy with his gay life and said to him " Perhaps I'll just give up of this gay thing" he was living with Mack's family and was very much into kids as he was looking after Mack's kids and his own godson, John Frederick.

[@fineline111]

Who is Mack?

[@khl3645]

Who is Mack?

[@taffyholvenstot8297]

Mack was the record producer they used in Munich and then for many years afterward, they became good friends.

[@webuser6286]

Fred is a cherub here, yep :))

[@lovevadimjaclyn]

"Funny yet sad" true!

[@katm8123]

I believe that this interview took place in 1983 because Queen had signed that record deal they are talking about with Capitol Records in October ´83.

[@rebeccat5994]

Kat M You are right..... the late, great Freddie Mercury interview was in 1983 at the China Club with Alan Thicke.

[@Nina-oi1qk]

Love the American accent. Like many immigrants, Freddie automatically slips into the accent of the person opposite, It's the survival technique of people who immigrated to new countries in their teens.

[@christina2197]

2:15 LOL Freddie! I love you! :)

[@jad0halimeh]

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.

[@LazloRolka]

the interviewer is alan thicke. from growing pains and robinbthicke's father.

[@kaltas7]

I L O V E him in this!

[@fareast3991]

His accent was noticeably different here. He sounded more attractive, accessible with his English accent.

[@manassesnascimento4483]

Somebody to Love is Freddie Mercury's Favorite

[@80GreenDays]

OH MY GOD IS HE TRYING AN AMERICAN ACCENT!?!? XD god, I love him

[@Motown-1966]

He wasn't trying but DID pick one up whilst living in NYC. Sadly, this was the time period where Freddie completely emerged himself in living hard with lots of drugs and unprotected sex. Freddie had a NYC apartment & lived there off & on while some of the other band members had homes out in LA.

[@melovil]

his mustache is probably itchy? it's damn sexy, do no question Freddie haha

[@melodefidler5195]

I am totally hooked on bohemian rhapsody. I :can't get enough of the movie. I want to see rami malek in other movies. He did such a great job.

[@xallyouneedislove]

Aw. "where do you see yourself 25 years from now?" "lots of sex" too bad he only had another 7 years.

oh my god you're right dirkworld...I didn't notice before! What the hell was he doing interviewing Freddie? I love Alan thicke but I'm just surprised...and to think I almost talked to Alan once...I'm SO asking him about Freddie if I ever get the chance to talk to him again.
