I couldn’t have said it better

[@tmf866]

I know John Deacon has never really spoken to the camera and has never sung on any Queen song, but I really wished he had sung at least one line of this one. It would have been so fitting for it to be the only one - it would have felt right.

Authentic, heartfelt, and utter perfection

[@michaelakyrova6952]

Rudi Dolezal (the regisseur) spoke about making this video. He mentioned that everything was same as in the old times: room, staff, just Freddie was missing. And after the work was done and they all met at the dinner, several people mentioned, they were looking at the door during the day, expecting Freddie storming into the room saying: "Darlings, it was just a joke." I'm so glad they made this song.

[@Nina-oi1qk]

Oh god that just broke my heart.

[@blackxc1927]

[@MeredithAnne88]

Oh my gosh...I can only imagine the emotions as they filmed. That had to be so surreal, for all of them.

[@flymommah]

I had managed not to be in tears while listening to this song. But reading this comment, dang! the waterworks just erupted. Oh my poor sad heart .. missing Freddie! We kinda have that perception, you know. When you lose someone so dear to your heart, the realization seem to sink in way too slow and there are moments when you expect that person appear and be how they were when they were still living. Though I never knew Freddie personally, somehow, thru his music, he has become part of my existence.

[@debbiebutler456]

I have a deepend love for Freddie Mercury sfter seeing Bohemian Rhapsody. Now I realize all his music was based on his life. This tribute was so touching. Freddie was a gift. His memory will live on💙💙

[@terriburlile6985]

Debbie Butler Same for me...did you also happen to catch the hurt shown by "Freddie" when Mary introduced her boyfriend/husband? It was clear to see he felt or thought she would always be his "Freddie's"? I wondered if that was true to life....when they tried so hard to keep it as close to real as possible...just a thought.

[@debbiebutler456]

@@terriburlile6985 yes, he seemed so hurt. From my teen years following Queen, I believe this was very true. Revisiting their music now has given me a completely different view of Freddie Mercurys life and the immense talent he was. It makes me so sad he left the world so young. In todays time, he'd still be here. He will live in the hearts of his fans❤

[@terriburlile6985]

Debbie Butler Agreed...the movie was a intimate look into not only Freddie Mercury but the band as a whole. Honestly KZbin opened the door into the life of Queen for me. A band is a strong enough word... They were a family, that's what made the band & how it was able to impact the world the way it did. Is still doing. I'm thankful for being open minded enough when I was younger to still appreciate the music at the 1st wisperings of him being gay. I remember saying it sucked...only because of the crush I had on him lol. As with life & age things change. Now I have a huge appreciation for the rest of the 'family' and how well they've aged. I rank Roger Taylor right up there with Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck & Sean Connery...they're looks have aged like a fine wine...and are so pretty to look at lol. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts & insights. Too many people seem to run nasty at the mouth on social media. Its nice to share the positive whenever possible!

[@debbiebutler456]

I totally agree with you Terri. Having that same crush on him and feeling so upset finding out he might be gay. I was devastated. It never stopped me from loving him and the group. Great we're sharing the positive of this group. ❤

[@Isis8287]

Yes ,no one but you my dear Freddie, I still love you

Mercury flying to close to the sun and was killed. Interesting how Freddie chose Mercury as his stage name, and living up to the name. So much of Queen's lyric has so much meaning.

[@sct4040]

Beautiful song, and a beautiful tribute. Both Brian and Roger have beautiful voices in their own rights. John looked so lost, i hope he found peace after retiring from the band.

[@YoutubeChannel-hr9yv]

I don’t know why but every time I see Deacy my eyes tear up. He looks so sad 2:24 🥺

[@GenieY23]

Really shows the class of the man, that he would have a glass of champagne to salute the audience, not beer or water or whatever else. He is greatly missed.

[@Itbmurr1]

Poor John. He took Freddie’s death so hard. This was his last performance with Queen. You could tell he was so sad during this song. Maybe why that’s why they didn’t show him too much. Brian said the way they filmed the video it made it seem like you were a visitor to the set. Maybe it was Freddie. Great song and video. RIP Freddie

[@darjagojgic3022]

Pesem je sigurno za Fredija,ker drugače ne bi John sodeloval.

[@kenbrome4615]

Actually John & Freddie were close friends and Freddies passing affected him greatly. John hides his feeling of sadness in every way,but John misses him so much, who doesnt ? Its sad I cant have Freddie here just for my own selfish reasons, he gave so much to music and the art of a great live performance. I miss him so much.

[@BenTinEz]

Made me think about John thinking: "If Freddie's out, then I'm out too!"

[@dominewimbury2039]

It's no surprise seeing as Deaky sadly lost his father in 1963 due to a heart attack. Arthur was 44, having had his birthday just a couple of weeks before. Obviously Freddie was 45, so only a year older. Poor Deaky. Love him xxxxx

[@sarahlueth6421]

He couldn’t handle the fame that came with a rock band without Freddie to keep him grounded and help him. That’s why he left when Freddie did. He was just a wreck and couldn’t cope.

Тот же режиссер, что и в последних клипах с Фреди, но насколько же бросается в глаза настроение всех на съемочной площадке! Когда снимали клипы с Фреди, все ,,горели,,, они без остановки что то обсуждали, махали руками, смеялись....и да, это грустная песня и смеяться особо нечего, но все равно, атмосфера совсем другая. Обожаю скрытый смысл клипа, что камера-это душа Фреди....

[@sarahlueth6421]

It’s all relative.

[@krzysztofmilewski4742]

The last time Queen were really Queen for me. Having said that, I don't despise the things they got involved in next, without John. Some were good (Q+AL), most were bad (Q+Fife, Robbie Williams, Pepsi commercials), but they have the right to carry on. "No One But You" closes their real discography for me though. Obviously, the "new" songs included on "Queen Forever" also count, however, technically they are older songs.

[@CB-xr1eg]

What a ridiculous statement. How could they be " really Queen " without Freddie?

[@krzysztofmilewski4742]

Call it ridiculous, but if you look at this song as their final tribute to Freddie (which it was) and considering it features all the surviving members, it's not so ridiculous to me. There are other Queen songs which don't feature Freddie as well. And most of all, it just feels like Queen. The last time it felt so to me.

[@CB-xr1eg]

@Great King Rat Uh oh, the dickhead's back!

[@CB-xr1eg]

@Great King Rat Tell me something Ratty, why do you seem angry all the time? And more to the point, why are you concerned about the size of my dick? I'm completely hetero so don't get any kinky ideas! You just concentrate on thinking you know all there is to know about Queen.

[@CB-xr1eg]

John at 2:23 looks so sad. He almost looks scared in a way and uncomfortable. I can't describe exactly what I mean. It breaks my heart to see him like that. I just noticed right when they showed john like that it's right when Brian sings "do you want us to cry" so sad ...
