Wow, what a showman
I was browsing around on Youtube and I found this, from LiveAid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArbARCeam3I
No doubt that the man was left-hand threaded based on the leather bicep band and the way he pranced around on the stage, but wow, what a showman. The crowd is following his every move. Not to mention that he sounded good at a live concert, which is pretty rare.
Gone too soon, indeed. One of the greatest frontmen of all time IMO.

I'd agree with that statement, one of the best.

Yes, they were a 'legit' band. 
This is a very powerful song and Freddie delievered a knockout performance. One of my favorite Queen songs.

don't forget pete townsend and elton john. you know, it was really none of our business what their sexual orientation was. it didn't matter; it didn't affect their performance one single bit. but the media must sensationalize everything which is why they were 'outed' against their wishes. it's a shame, really, that people actually thought less of them after it was revealed that they were gay. what did it matter, really?

Nope, his story about resaearching for his autobiography checked out. No charges, no evidence, no apology.
