misfire

Roger bouncing his sticks off the stage, doing a push-up and Freddie ending the day with: Let's go get fucked.

Also, the way John holds his guitar close to him as he bows. 🥺

“That summer Freddie posed for a camera for the very last time - mine. It happened like this. I was out in the garden photographing some of the flowers in full bloom and Freddie walked towards me. I trained the lens on him and he told me to hold on - he wanted to move back a bit so it wasn’t a close-up. Then he posed while I took four pictures, and he managed to smile for each. He was so pale and drawn that he knew he didn’t look his best, but it didn’t matter a bit; of all the pictures I have of Freddie, those are the ones I love most.”

28 years ago, your soul left this world and flew away to the abode of the angels. You had been fighting with a terrible disease for years, and it was time for you to rest in peace.

But this is not a mourning letter. This is a letter to celebrate your life and everything you gave to the world. And to thank you for that too.

Thank you, and Queen, for giving us all this amazing music to fill our lives with, a touch of the heavens. We really can't imagine going a day without listening to it.

Thank you Freddie for showing us that being different isn't actually something to feel shy about, but it is what makes each one of us unique.

Thank you for teaching us that we decide who we are, and if we want, we can also create ourselves from scratch.

Thank you for being original in every aspect of your life. There really aren't enough words to explain how much we love this authenticity of yours.

Thank you for showing us how to live our lives being unapologetically ourselves.

You have conquered the world, Freddie. There are thousands of people that still adore you, and always will. There are people that weren't even born when Queen was hitting the charts, but you have stolen their hearts too. You were really a gift from heaven. And we want you to know that we all love you.

Thank you, dear Freddie. Thank you for everything.
