Hard to believe but today marks thirty years since Freddie lost his courageous, dreadful and harrowing battle with AIDS. I can think of few musicians whose star still burns as brightly so many years after his death as it did when he was at the height of his powers.

30 years since Freddie's passing, incredible. He certainly packed a lot more into his short life than most ever could. Elton John once claimed that 'Freddie could even out party me, and that's saying something'.

Now THAT's the Freddie I remember and love Queen were a fabulous band back then. I bet Bryan Adams was still no.1. I think Freddie probably just got fed up with it There are icons and then there are icons....

I will always remember the day he died, and it's not often you say that about a famous person
At the time I was a student having a mid afternoon brew in the student union bar. The Freddie news was given out on loudspeaker, along with a special promotion for triple jack Daniels at 50p for the rest of the day
By about 10pm I was seen crawling on all fours to the bar with my glass, somehow hauled myself up to to bar before I was carried out 😁
An amazing talent and performer gone. They were so big after Live Aid, for what it's worth at least he died knowing he had achieved mass adoration
