  • So much has changed since Freddie became ill. People are living longer now because of the new therapies and peoples attitudes to HIV have changed also. The terms AIDS is no longer used. I have friends who have been on therapy for more than ten years. It doesnt mean we should be complacent, its just so sad that so many people like Freddie died when if they were diagnosed today it would be so different. RIP to the great Freddie and all those lost to HIV and hope that eventually no more will die.

  • @YouthfulMisery You are such bad person!!.

  • They had to shoot this in back and white he was so very sick by this point. Apprently he could barely stand up due to the pain during the filming. Such a loss RIP

  • Freddie had such charisma! Luv you Freddie RIP xx BB

  • still download me a lot of energy....from this song......does anybody want to exchange any plastic singer of today....

  • i bet him and michael jackson would have been great friends. They both love the world no matter what happens!

  • same ol' Freddie, smiling till the end. 

  • perfeito

  • "Headlong" was only shot about 3 months before this video he looked healthier and was more energetic and mobile in that video just in 3 months he went from that to this just shows how fast aids can totally ravage your body.

  • He faced death like the man he was

  • the smile says it all.........x

  • It's a kind of magic ;').

  • Comment removed

  • We'll remember - Forever...

  • I always loved that waist coat, you can see how much he loved cats, that was probably custom made, maybe not but I reckon it probably was, I lied the waist coat in breakthrou as well.

  • what did YouthfulMisery say!! Wanna know and complain as well

  • when he says 'I still love you' I hope i'm included, because I love him too and was not around for his life, before death : (

  • At first I was little sad ... but the smile Freddie told us, don't be sad, I'm staying with you in the songs ...

  • Nehéz megszólalni:(

  • @YouthfulMisery sad person people like you make me very angry

  • wot a artist still miss his music

  • FREDDIE THE KING

  • Aids is a man made biological weapon . the biggest conspiracy ever hand in hand with 9/11. Only innocent ppl die .

    what a cruel horrid world we live in

  • @PhatPat0420 just a thought, are you american? or maybe its just that youre an insensitive mentally deficient arse wipe. The man was dying of aids.

  • @workingtonborn What does being American have to do with it? I'm an American, I love Freddie, & I'm an advocate for AIDS research! So please, do not bring Nationality into it. He's an "insensitive mentally deficient arse wipe" in any nation!

  • Freddie if only you got that horrible disease in our decade you would still be alive and rockin, we love you and you are alive in our hearts

  • not being a dickhead, but apparently anyone can test positive for hiv, but it's the pills that kill you instead...medical genocide :O

  • @dwfwwf That is not really true. Medicins always destroy something, yes. But the virus of aids stops the working of our immume systeme. That means that the patient can not protect the body well anymore. The patient gets ill of this and that. That is finally the reason of death.

  • he had a massive fuckin overbite lol

  • @PhatPat0420 sorry whats that got to do with it Im a dentist

  • @PhatPat0420 who cares !!!

  • @murphy1980100 well you do why mention it. Ive got a cross bite but who cares not me!!!!

  • @YouthfulMisery - You sound like you need a hug. Go ask your Catholic priest for one.

  • @YouthfulMisery - You're worse than AIDS. You spread hate.

  • always makes me cry.... felt like id lost a friend

  • He's so gaunt :( this is so fucking heartbreaking. Rest in peace Freddie x

  • It is so sad to think how ill Freddie was when he recorded the song, and made the video. However, he still sounded brilliant all the way through both. May he Rest In Peace.

  • This is tough to see, he looks like he is 80

  • I love Freddie:)))

  • I've watched videos and listened to this song a lot. Freddie Mercury will live on in his music and in the memories all of us keep of him. A true genius and tremendous talent.

  • nie długo minię 20 lat od śmierci

  • @sochackiz no niedlugo ale juz 5 wrzesnia 65 rocznica urodzin :D

  • Getting Ready For 65. Let's Fool Around!

  • Freddie Mercury. What a beautiful soul he was. RIP

  • Thank you a million times for posting. Am a huge Queen fan but have never seen this. Freddie knew he was dying when he filmed this video. Have never seen these candid moments. RIP Freddie.

  • this was when he was really sick you can tell because he was extra skinny. its sad to see someone like that, it almost hurts :((

  • Freddie made this video and he was saying to his fans...I love you.. To the Media .. Fuck!!..

    I remember when Entertainment Tonight,Mtv and several other media outlets stalked him,Magic Johnson,Arthur Ashe,Anothey Perkins...countless other who died or was living with HIV in 1990-1994. The media ..like the public have no respect for the sick... The media do not respect the sick, just talk to the person. Freddie Mercury was an extraordinary artist.

  • yes, it is hard to see Him this way.! But, what an awesome voice...what an awesome song...what a Heroic Endeavor! God Bless Him,

    and My Brother Jerry D. Hurley who loved Freddie.

    Jerry died of Cancer..Sept. 14, 2007.. .Freddie eased his pain and thoughts, through the last year, when he knew he had no time left. It came sudden, we owe that to morphine/Hospice..He did not have to suffer and get thin like Freddie. I hope they are drinking fine beverages in Heaven..

    That Makes me smile.

  • Freddie made this video and he was saying to his fans...I love you.. To the Media they could go to H@ll.. I remember when Entertainment Tonight,Mtv and several other media outlets stalked him,Magic Johnson,Arthur Ashe,Anothey Perkins...countless other who died or was living with HIV in 1990-1994. The media ..like the public have no respect for the sick..Pitfull..

  • Um dos maióres cantores de todos os tempos,completaria 61 anos de vida no diia 04 de Setembro se estivesse vivo;feliz aniversário Freddie.

  • it is so terrible seeing him look this ill

  • SO SAD , VERY HARD TO WATCH BUT HE STILL LOOKED GREAT CAUSE HE WAS GREAT INSIDE . RIP

  • as he died at 45 how come this is his 61st birthday special ??????

  • @alanjames67 He may have died, but yet he's not dead. Inside many hearts he's more alive than most people will ever be.

  • @alanjames67 born in '46 - posted in '07 - do the math knucklehead.

  • Damn it if you think he looks ill here, check out the Days of Our Lives documentary it has this footage(and other never before seen) except clearer. Pretty frightening(no offense).

  • 11 people have no soul

  • @daruta1 its true ...

  • 0:03 

    My God! ;(

  • Can't stand not crying when i watch this. LOVE YOU FREDDIE!!!!

  • we still love u too FREDDIE xxxx

  • I am in tears. I wish that their could be a cure for AIDS. It's such horrible disease. Such great artist, left too soon. All prayers. It is a hard video to watch.

  • It is very VERY hard to watch. Just because he loved life and all it has to offer...why should he have been struck down like THIS? Hateful bloody insidious disease!!!

  • Phil Collins you suck.. I could be nice and ignore your horrific music which is all very much the same. You have a terrible voice and nothing to make you attractive in any way, shape, form or music. Hearing those insulting words about Freddie Mercury who I mos adamantly respect and will always remember and admire coming from your talentless being would be comical if Freddie's death wasn't so sad. You are not a good man to say such words and judge another artist. Go fuck dead chicken.

  • Freddie. Thank you for your sweetness and the love that your fans (incl. me) could feel. I love you, would never judge you and I can only say God Bless You and how thankful I am for sharing the special talents that were bestowed upon you. Love, Peace..see you some day in heaven.

  • he was dying... and it pisses me off.. he was the greatest.... simply a genius - unlike so many of the "singers" we have today...  UGH! I AM SO MAD

  • he really atributed himself to music...

  • Freddie, I still love you.

  • Freddie was more of a man then most of the hateful punks out there that post bullshit about him being gay and how he died. He was a fighter a true artist with amazing talent we will probably never see anyone as captavating on stage again, and you people want to poke at what he did or didnt do on his free time, FUCK OFF fredie is and always will be the man! He was more of a man then most.

  • Thankyou Freddie, for gracing us with your prescence

  • 'I wont be a rockstar. I'll be a legend'

  • @temptstress666 okay thats possible .But how do you know that ? I always tought he was bi curious..

  • @temptstress666 I really hope this was a sarcastic post or i feel sorry for you. I apologize if it is sarcasm(hard to tell on the net)

  • @melodicsolitude What a stupid piece of shit comment. Lol who says that, "I apologize for.." Lol bud, no one cares what you think so stop commenting me.

  • @temptstress666 Obviously you do or you would have ignored it :)

  • @temptstress666 really? seriously?

    actually your "hero" was OPENLY gay. does that bother me? not in the slightest...nor should it bother you if you're a real fan of his. it's sad to see such intolerance in this world still exists. that makes me weep more than this video does. now, with that said. freddie was a true musician and will always be well respected and admired for his abilities (as with the other 3 members of Queen). can't believe it's gonna 20 yrs since he passed. it still saddens me..

  • Can you believe that he was in so much pain also while doing this video... Cudose Freddie Mercury, may you forever live in all our hearts

  • SIMPLY THE BEST

  • The world lost aGreat entertainer I am so gratefull to be alive to witness his work I feel he is the number one Rock vocalist of all time.undisputed a few come close but dont surpass!!! RIP Long Live Rock and Roll!!!

  • Love you Freddie....you sang till the end...gave your heart and soul to your fans...we'll never forget you because nobody does it like you! Queen Forever!

  • parece q freddie colocou toda sua vida nessa musica com todos os detalhes parecia q ele sabia q iria partir freddie mercury the god o f rock l--l

  • Yes.. I still love you...

  • aww freddie looks just..so sweet, beautiful yet sad song <3 R.I.P

  • This is a hard video to watch. To see such a beautiful Man ravaged with such a cruel disease.

  • @PinkSmarties72 omg i so much agree:((( its sadd

  • @vitormangraviti

    What an absolutely ignorant imbecile you are. Describing HIV and/or AIDS as a "gay-only disease" displays how utterly laughable your knowledge is. You need to be educated it would seem. I only hope that you're capable of comprehending the information you lack.

  • @hypnoticbob I think you are the one who lacks knowledge here. I didn't describe AIDS as a "gay-only" disease. If you could read, you'd see that I wrote that IN THE 80'S AIDS WAS CALLED GAY CANCER.

    That is a fact. I'm not making this up. If you think that I am making this up, you can check the earlier reports of AIDS in the 80's and SCIENCE (not me) called AIDS by "gay cancer".

    Have a look at it by yourself and THEN you can say that I am lacking knowledge: /watch?v=1LKJ5ZzzL0w

    Idiot.

  • @PinkSmarties72 i agree very sad

  • :(((  W LOVE YOU FREDDIE RIP

  • You're the man Freddie,

    rip

  • I still love you...

  • god he looked sick then....what a magic muso though, thanks for your gifts

  • Rest In Peace Freddie. You were a gift to us all, the greatest frontman of ALL time, and will never be replaced. Thank you.

  • Truly inspirational. Thank you Freddy.

  • Saw them in Wembly '86 and they were superb. RIP Freddie. You were amazing.

  • @vantage2000 I envy you! I wish I would have realized his talent before he was gone! I love and miss him so much now, I just hope he is having fun and taking care of Michael Jackson right now. Rest well my beloveds, until I am with you!

  • @Saralv.

    It was amazing - and I'm so pleased I got to see them.

  • I still love you

  • 11 idiotów

  • até hoje dói,amo freddie!!!!

  • I totaly agree, x

  • I Was 3 months of living ...when freddie die... what a bad luck i have ;/

  • Hey iron maiden you're just pissed cause it's been twenty years since he died and people still remember him. So what if he was gay he was a person and his voice is missed very much. have a little respect for him he's dead for heavens sake!. Also when you write, play, and sing your own song then you can make fun of people until then stay quiet please.

  • I CRIED THE WHOLE TIME WATCHING THIS. RIP FREDDIE

  • @ironmaidenawe grow up, lol.

  • I wunder why he shaved off his moustache, any1 know?

  • i LOVE his smile at 0:41, makes me almost cry

  • @darkoran you mean the gay smile

  • @queenlivesforever1 that's beautiful

  • lovely darling Freddie x

  • One of the most touching ends to a music video ever. If Freddie had to go, he sure knew how to do it with style and courage. 20 years later, we still love you too, Freddie.

  • Still Beautiful<3

    God Bless ya Honey:)

  • Freddie did this for us...his fans. He wanted to say goodbye...And he did, what a beatiful way to do it

  • I agree with "queenlivesforever1", very well said and truly a loss to the world and universe. There is something about Freddie that touch's the human spirit, it can't be explained but felt every time we view him. Chills for one are inescapable. Tears are welcomed, they are his response through you that he is grateful for your love. And you can bet he smiles still at our ability to relive the moments he shared with us all. Thank You Freddie. We still love you.

  • @queenlivesforever1 thank you for your kind reply, it actually means a lot there are other people feeling the same, because i cant really mention it around people i know because they just wont "get it" or think i'm pathetic for been sad about a man i never knew. I love watching him on stage and wish i was there. I'm sure he's still rocking up there ^ lol. :)

  • I have to ask myself..How can I still miss him so much and still hold him in such high esteem after all these years? I have to say he was THE BEST and even though I will never be able to articulate my feelings about him, most of you folks said it better than I ever could. I still cry over the loss of such a great showman/songwriter/singer/huma­n being. I told all that my Queen albums were destroyed in a flood and wanted them replaced for any gift given to me.  I got them all.

  • @queenlivesforever1 Well said, i have been feeling sad lately thinking that we are nearing the 20 year mark. I just think of all the things he could have done if he'd lived. Such a nice man, nobody ever said anything bad about him. Even though i never knew him and i was only a child when he died, i miss him. Unique and brilliant.

  • @MsCary84 That to me is the saddest part of all - that if he'd contracted the disease just 4 or 5 years later than he did, he very likely would have lived. Maybe not forever, but certainly another 10 or 20 years. Enough time to gift us with more of the music in his soul. What a shame.

  • @strummerocks Shut the fuck up. You have to admit, even by your standards, that was immature.

  • @strummerocks Retard > Sub-retard

  • @strummerocks Nice talking to you, retard.

  • We still love you too Freddie

  • @queenlivesforever1 - I couldn't have said it better.

  • @queenlivesforever1 - Well said !

  • i dont like seeing him this way it's sad he reminds me of nosferatu :-(

  • @strummerocks Oh yeah, and Aspergers (as it's spelt) is not anything like a vegetable. The smartest person I know has Aspergers, and the medical term for a vegetable is an irreversible loss of brain function. The correct term that you should have ironically named me as having is "mental retardation". The fact that you can't even spell Aspergers combined with your naivety of what it is just gives me the impression that you may now be Autistic (and a cocktail of other things, still including OCD.

  • @strummerocks Freddie's brilliance is not a subject of debate or opinion, it's fact. Type into Google "Ultimate Rock God"; that alone should be all the evidence you need. You need to know that if you came onto a Queen video and said "Meh, I don't like Freddie that much", fair enough, I respect that you may dislike him. But to go onto YouTube and continually pull a piss out of a dead man, that is not an opinion and that is why you receive this "hatred and scorn ".

    P.s. It's spelt Freddie.

  • @strummerocks Oh, and I agree; Bob Dylan is a decent songwriter, but he can't sing for toffee unlike Freddie who could do both. This obviously annoys you greatly because it's fact, rather than opinion; and it doesn't matter how much you deny it, or how many smart-arse YouTube comments you post, you know there's nothing you can do to change that.

  • @strummerocks The fact that you're so fixated on little things such as typos and the reluctancy to deny that you have a mental illness just further proves my point that you do have a form of OCD and/or Aspergus. Oh, and please stop with the "listen to decent music" crap. Accept the fact that Queen is the greatest band to ever live and get over yourself. You sound so immature- "Oh look at me, I know how to use a spell-check, I'm going onto YouTube to annoy people who enjoy great music".

  • @strummerocks Besides, even if Queen did give the false impression of being pompous and pretentious, that's no excuse to give up many minutes of your life just to post provocative comments onto YouTube. You're basically an attention seeker with a form of OCD or Aspergers; fact! There would be no other reason for a sane person to do what you are doing. It's a shame that someone as eloquent as yourself had to be a waste of space.

  • @strummerocks Shortening 'disappointed' and 'merely' to make my comment fit into the word limit doesn't show a lack of intelligence, starting a new paragraph when trying to carry on with a sentence does though. Another factor which determines a person's lack of intelligence is copying and pasting 'They were cheesy and cliched, a bit like a panto performance but the audience got the irony' onto loads of Queen videos does. It also indicates that you're a homophobic idiot with mental health issues.

  • he was trully thee best how dare u farts go on bout his sexuality etc theyl never be another band lead singerlike freddie who pissed on all that came before him and after and thus continues,he certainly wrote a new chapter in rock n roll how dare u faggots carry on......

  • @strummerocks No, you didn't offend me, you just disapointed me; making me ashamed to be of the same nationality as you. And what do you mean "sense of humour"? Pulling a piss out of a man who had his life cut short is not at all humorous.

    I'm mearly standing up for someone who can no longer stand up for himself. Just goes to show how jealous, juvenile and supercilious your character is. So you can go ahead and depricate Queen and Queen fans all you want, we all know you're below us.

  • @strummerocks Congratulations, it must have taken you years to understand that AIDS can be contracted via sexual intercourse. Jesus christ, your smartness brought a tear to my eye, no really, it did. Yes, it's fact that Freddie did die of complications from a sexually transmitted virus. Good boy, you want a biscuit for doing your homework?

    Bless your heart, trying to offend people, but just looking like an ignorant tosser.

  • I liked him with his mostache and his manliness hehe I'm not crazy

  • There's not many performers that can go into a place like Wembley Stadium and have 75,000 people eating out of the palm of his hand. Freddie Mercury could and

    he did it with a passion and grace that will probably not be seen again. In my humble opinion, the greatest front man of all time! RIP Freddie--you gave us your ALL!!!

  • @09jackstraw They absolutely STOLE Live Aid!

  • @cep32101 You so right!! Left a smoking hole where the stage used to be!! NOONE did it like Freddy--he just had something truly spectacular. God, I wish he was still rockin' us!

  • 19 years ago..can you imagine?? It has been already 19 years ago he passed away!

    It doesn't feel like 19 years.

    It's if he is still alive..probably because he is still living in our hearts...

  • @FATBELLYJONES

    everyone is entitled to their opinions....good or bad, but u obviously have no sense of music!! cos if u did, u may actually realise that, no matter how he contracted his infection, he was still the best singular musical voice in the world!! and we should be celebrating his music, and not ripping him for his sexual preferences!!

  • Freddy, why did you leave? COMMMME BAAACK PLEEEAASE!!!

  • My baby!!!! I love you Freddie!!!!

  • The only one and truly great showman there ever was and ever will be

  • @strummerocks Imortality seems to be so far from you.

  • strummercock you twat
