[@AstroSully]

Facts.

[@AstroSully]

Grammys are ridiculous.

[@potxkim]

True! Wondering why they did not get a grammy awards because I think Queen is a superior band on 70's & 80's they are very unique and very talented.

[@hersonramos3042]

The Grammy did not recognized them! Some of the legend also never got tge gramny,lije bob markry,Guns n'Roses..Grammy always giving favor to only rapper and hip hop..

[@velcronieves4745]

I just love the kindness and respect that Brian May and Roger Taylor showed to Freddie's mom! It must have meant the world to her to accept Freddie's award in his behalf. These guys are a class act!

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

No doubt, a very proud Freddie would have been all smiles when looking down from Heaven and seeing his lovely Mum collect his award for him. 'I'm grinning from ear to ear, my dears!'

[@1970rdl]

Introducing Freddie's mother to accept the Hall of Fame induction on Freddie's behalf has to be one of the most touching and inspiring moments in the R&R Hall of Fame's history. Try watching it without getting a little choked up!

[@MLA56]

Long ago in the 1970s I was in a music shop known for superb vintage guitars. I was trying out an old Martin when Brian and Roger happened to come in. It was in a city well-known for its "normal," low-key attitude toward famous musicians. They can usually walk around town like everyone else. Aside from being great guys and complete gentlemen, Brian shared the fact that he uses silver sixpence coins instead of picks most of the time. I tried it out and worked out several variations that worked for me -- for about the past 25 years, I use only coins that are at least 90% silver when playing electric guitars. Some I use as they are. Some I hammer and shape for a different sound. I've even made a few finger picks and other things out of silver. The sound is fabulous -- all thanks to Brian May's courtesy.

[@siesaw1]

[@1970rdl]

After Freddie died, John stayed on long enough to help the band out with the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992, and then (from what I've heard) decided he had about enough of the music business and went into permanent retirement from it. B & R always say the door's open for him to return whenever he likes, but John usually tells them thank you and then gives them the address where they can send the royalty checks...absent, maybe, but definitely not stupid!

[@susieq9801]

Every performer and songwriter gets royalties even after they die. Your point?

[@gideonharris1493]

You heard wrong. John went into semi retirement when Freddie died. He played on Made in Heaven and lastly got together to record No One But You (Only The Good Die Young) in 1997. Then he formally and permanently retired when he finished playing that song.

[@michaelreifenstein2114]

After they got rid of the manager that ripped them off (death on two legs) john took over their accounting. It isn't them sending the cheques to him, it's him doling the money out.
