I saw the Richard Young interview and noticed some photos that were new to me too. Then I went to the site of his gallery. He has quite a large body of work. There is a gift shop and of course I had to take a look at that. Found two prints I had to have...………….until I Googled the pounds to dollars conversion chart and realized they were way out of my reach. I had seen Richard in photos with Freddie, just never knew who he was. I'm always happy to add new knowledge to my Freddie files, and now that I know who he is, I see Richard in photos with Freddie all the time. Thanks to all who continue to educate me.

Katy Richard young has an exhibition in London until the end of May . He is showing all of his queen / Freddie photos . He toured with them for many years and took photos at Freddie's private parties .

He seems a lovely man . I follow him on Instagram.

Welcome laureG , we have the lovely Radioblabla here who is also french.
Your English is excellent.
What a lovely story, bless your son. Did he sing in English . I'm sure the band were amazed to find how the crowds sang along in countries like Rio and Hungaria . It must have been an amazing fee!ing

Mika you are wonderful, thank you

So I'm watching the queen and Adam show. It's ever so sad to start with , brian looked so broken when interviewed in 1992

Thanks for posting the hologram performance of Freddie. I had the opportunity to sit in an audience with a hologram of a famous athlete teaching a lesson about life. It was eerily realistic - so lifelike. I can't imagine the thoughts of Jim and Peter sitting there watching it. It was hard enough for me to see it years later on a video.

doughnut - hope you are enjoying the program - I cried throughout

I didn't want to say but yes I've been crying , it just pains me seeing someone else with brain and Roger . It's the first time I've seen Adam's American idol performance, boy he did an amazing performance of ,whole lotta love '

chevy - I have been silenlty observing - LOL

yes the hologram looks like the person is actually present - they are quite real -looking. Could you imagine recreating Freddie and having him perform again - wonder how that would go over??

Doughnut and anybody else

here is a very brief and very unprofessional translation of the German Show. I didn´t know it took for 2 hours :D But it was very well done, I have never seen it before so thank you for posting it I enjoyed it a lot.
There were some interesting bits about Barbara Valentine and Rudi Dolezal spoke very fondly about Freddie. I´m looking forward to his book.


I translated only the discussion in the studio as the clips with Queen history don´t mention anything new.

The hologram performance was heartbreaking. I couldn´t watch it till the end. Jim looked so sad and did you notice that Phoebe wasn´t watching at all? Poor boy.

And that singer from Scorpions singing Love of my life? He´s got a nerve! I mean, even Adam Lambert doesn´t dare to sing it live because it´s simply Freddie´s song.

So enjoy the reading and apologize my English :) I´m still learning :)

Mika - thank you so much for the translation - what a special person to take the time to do that for us!!

There were some interesting facts I did not know about Barbara - and the fact that he kept working till the end and with that same passion for perfection - so much to admire about him!!

It's nice to have new people on the forum - welcome to all!
