Freddie is the kind of guy that we get only once in a lifetime, he had charisma, enthusiasm, glamour, humour and the voice of a generation. He was, is and always will be an icon in the music industry. RIP Freddie Mercury

In the 80s this man was magic. There is no better word than magic..

There were many sides of Freddie Mercury, and one side of Freddie was that he was not afraid to be vulnerable especially in the interviews he conducted, and that is what I loved about him!! R.I.P. Freddie Mercury!! I miss your music and your presence on this planet!!😪💔

[thomasobrien]

Freddie genuinely felt like a chill guy

[FatNorthernBigot]

He was as funny as he was talented. RIP Freddie, you are greatly missed.

Man I love their understated delicate British voices

[philipdr]

Greatest front man ever! And forever missed!

Freddie Mercury was (and still is) the world's GREATEST rockstar!! Queen could've and should've been a heavy af metal band! There was no one like him then and there is no one like him now. His voice was absolutely MASSIVE!!

[BlindGordie]

Freddie should have been around today, to see how our music has progressed and how many rock and metal bands see Queen as an influence these days. My favourite is Max and Igor Cavalera seeing Queen in 1981 and that planting the seeds in listening to music and forming a band like Sepultura.

totally blows my mind that he smokes and still had a beautiful voice.

lol “oh darling what kind of shit question is that - you answer it” 😂

He’s a damn gem ❤

[marciebulsaraorcutt]

“Is this the future of where Rock is going to… Are you predicting something? I seem to be looking 20 years from now when I watch you work, Fred.”
This interviewer hit it on the nail:
Freddie was always an innovator.💕

[maxpower]

So damn unfortunate that the world was robbed from a special human being like Freddie due to a horrific disease. It would have been magical to see what still layed ahead if he was still around.

[cainealexander-mccord]

I guess you could have called it "Reporters Irritating Freddie" and done just as well. RIP Freddie.

[patriciagodula]

I like how the interviewers really tried to categorise him and his music and he genuinely didn’t give a toss.

[barbaramay]

Freddie: “I don’t want to change the world or anything.” But you did, Freddie. You really did.

[missywashburn]

I love the way he tells the interviewers when they ask a stupid question.

[johnryan]

The most natural and charismatic force of nature the music industry has ever seen or will ever see again. RIP Freddie Mecury

[waterbrat]

Once in a lifetime, that WAS Freddie!!!😢

[duncannapier]

For me Freddie's embracing his vulnerability was his greatest strength. There's a kind of truthfulness and transparency that shines through in all his interviews in both what he's saying and about him. His gigantic character on stage and quiet character off stage were polar opposite but equally powerful. He was right there can only be One Kind Of Magic. That Magic was Freddie. RIP 👍 🇿🇦
