    **** it, not football related but who cares!

    The Great Man would have been 65 today. Anyone seen the montage doodle on Google for him today?

    So what is your favourite song?

    Can’t deny the bloke was an absolute genius.

    Mine is Who Wants To Live Forever which is also my favourite song of all time which I have on a little vinyl. One of my most treasured possessions.

    Flash, Killer Queen, one vision, who wants to live forever, living on my own <ok>

    The man was a ledge. My stepdad built the guitar Amplifiers that Queen used, I got to meet Brian May but never met Fred.

    Dressed up as him as well on our 80s rock star night out round london!

    Not a fan of Queen or Freddie Mercury, but loved the joke at the time of his death:

    Queen and Right Said Fred are getting together to make a new band,
    It's going to be called Right Fred's Dead.

    Boab, bring down the tone eh <nahnah>

    People are surprised that I like Queen being a girl who likes 90's pop and R'n'B but I was brought up on it. There was something magical. Oh to have seen them perform at Elland Road would have been amazing.

    Saw them live twice in Ireland. Some of the best memories from my late teens. Called my first jack russell after Freddie. Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen and Radio gaga favorites. Have all their albums in my iTunes collection

    No doubt about his talent as a writer and showman.

    Playing Sun City wasn't a great choice at the time!

    Afternoon all <ok>

    The man was a legend and is still greatly missed too this day, my mum absolutely loved him and I can't remember how many Queen CD's I've brought her over the years for her birthday, mother's day or Christmas. <ok>

    God bless you Freddie <rose> <peacedove>
