Strange to think he would have been 75 on Sunday, what he would have been like and if he would have aged gracefully (or not)! Was never a big fan of Queen, as I could never quite work out what they were trying to be but they were unavoidable in the 70s as I started to become aware of pop music.Nevertheless there is no denying that Mercury was unquestionably one of the great rock frontmen who commanded the stage like few others and had the voice to go with it too.

My thoughts exactly, not a huge fan of them but Freddie was just a god. Live Aid, Rio and Knebworth proved that....

Freddie was the antithesis of Jeff in oh so many ways, both brilliant in their own ways but polar opposites..

Maybe Jeff is as flamboyant off stage as Freddie was on stage..... (Ok ok, maybe not )
