So humble. The man literally wrote a song that just about everyone knows, that’s heard everyday at sporting events, and will continue on for eternity.

Loving all these new interviews. What an achievement Brian, 50 years of making people happy.

Whatever mood im in, or whatever has happened during my day, theres always a Queen or Freddie song to suit, so ecclectic.I miss Freddie more the older im getting, but its good to hear memories and thoughts stay with you guys.Hope Deaky and Roger are well....ive just watched a youtuber called Goldrush Paranormal doing a spirit box with 'Freddie'....and at certain points, i really believe it was him, the sarcasm, the laugh and the posh British accent!! Xx

You're quite right Brian. When you lose a family member, people will say "oh you'll get over truth is..you NEVER get over it, you just get used to it, there's a world of difference.

[makeyourself]

I still love to listen to albums front to back in sequence

[blackbeardsdaughter]

We will rock you Brian May is great because of the chorus however, you can't say it with out the short verses. And, what's mind blowing is what you wrote. You wrote exactly how most people think and they need to maybe be quiet because, " We Will Rock You ". I love the old man who thinks he's going to change things. I still have all four on my mind on the concert's I've seen. Your instrument playing was fanominal with the sound system and your voices coming out. You were so loud and clear. I could hear all the pitches. I am also a fan who collected all albums.
