Freddie Mercury died 18 years ago this month. Now, to most people, that is a pure statement of fact. To me, that makes me wonder just where the last 18 years ago went. Because I can remember his death like it was yesterday. I wasn't a particularly massive Queen fan - but I'd always buy their albums and as they had a revival during 1984, the year I embraced all music to my ample bossom, they found themselves...
London, November 21 - ANI: Late Queen member Freddie Mercury will soon be honoured by the people of Feltham in west London, where he spent a part of his early life.
Ever since Adam Lambert 's role on American Idol this past year, it seems those beautiful vocals of QUEEN have been REBORN! I was born for the serenades of Freddie Mercury and will only dream of the day I will reach his creative bravado. That era of glam rock to me is dead. People have used bubble shock as a replacement of that from great legends past. Adam is no Freddie Mercury but with his powerful...
I wanted to write something on the whole Stephen Gately death Vs. Jan Moir "all gays are evil" thing.

BBC has a nice interview with Jer Bulsara, 87, mother of rock star Freddie Mercury: "He knew we wanted him to be a lawyer or an accountant or something like that, because most of his cousins were. But he'd say, 'I'm not that clever mum. I'm not that clever'". Read the interview here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8369895.stm Photo: http://www.queenonline.com

I don't believe in god(s), but if I did, I would right now be under pressure to think that the supreme being(s) was/were sending me a very clear message via radio ga ga: listen to more Queen. By some inexplicable twist I find myself -- can anybody find me? -- in Zanzibar, Freddie Mercury's birthplace, just a few weeks after visiting Montreux, Switzerland, where he spent the later years of his all-too-short...
Hi again, Paul Wright here with my final personal blog from Ocean Village Two's farewell cruise. As we rehearsed the final night show it dawned on all of us in the theatre that this really was the final event we would work on together on Ocean Village Two. There was a really strange feeling between the team as we built the stage set, especially as it's a replica of the ship. The show started at 10.30pm...
