  • Why was Paul Daniels sitting in the interview? I dunno why, maybe I'm wrong but there is just something disrespectful about it

  • "He will defeat the press."

    More than 20 years later, and it's still the same press that hack mobile phones, relentlessly hound anyone, and pay off policemen for information.

    I'm sorry we've failed you, Freddie.

  • why the fuck did they bring paul daniels on the same day as they had Brian and Roger....

  • 2:02 he was a gay

  • @ObiVannik but he never unequivocally admitted it.

  • @shariotoflove i agree with you

  • I really dont like this Queen + Paul rogers or what ever the guy's name is, sure I can understand their feelings of wanting to play again, give shows and stuff like that, It's just, umm to me That dude can't sing the songs that were written by Queen during their time together while freddie was alive, He doesn't have the voice or the range, dont get me wrong he is a good singer in his own right, I just dont think he has what you need to sing those songs, and I dont like his deep voice either

  • 4:33

    what a dick!

    if you saw ''days of our lives'' you understand me

  • @TheBMAvids1 What? When was Paul Daniels even mentioned in Days Of Our Lives, he has no relevance to Queen whatsoever except that he's at this conference

  • @9tome6 They touch on this TV appearance briefly in the edited scenes, available as extras on the Blu-Ray release of the documentary.

  • @ianthosaurus Ohhh okay. I don't have the blu-ray so that'd explain it

  • @9tome6 haha well you saw i clip if him that day and then you saw roger saying: ''what a dick!!!''

  • @TheBMAvids1 I think I know what you're talking about now :)

  • You should all read Freddie And Me by Jim Hutton, which is all about Freddie and his longtime partner Jim Hutton, its a fantastic read, and most of the stuff in it I knew nothing about, granted i was in bits during parts.

  • I find Brian May and Roger Taylor not really involved in all this, sometimes even as if bored or uninterested, don't know, bloody hell a companion of more than twenty years has died and they don't show a real emotion, sitting calmly and speaking formally where you instead would expect more human feelings, they are cold, but what am I expecting, many English people are when it comes to human feelings, you bunch of hypocrites

  • @MrPasqualinotu It's called shock, and in many ways it says a lot more than floods of tears. Anyway, Roger's clearly close to breaking at one point.

    There is absolutely nothing cold or hypocritical about not knowing how to react to the death of a loved one. We are not all machines, who respond the same way.

  • Brian and Roger construct very real, and very hard hitting, and yet, very dignified arguments about the horrors of AIDS, their music stands the test, and their honesty and humility makes them, not just my heroes, but, also men who we all can, and indeed, should admire.....

  • A few years later, did the same show get Daniels' reaction to the OJ Simpson verdict?

  • The days whem morning tv was allowed to roll without adverts every 5 minute, but why was paul daniels booked in for this? bad booking i think.

  • they are so upset. i just want to cuddle them :-(

  • how insanely bizarre to have a magician ("I'm not into music, I'm into magic") midway through this interview ..did they double book, or what?!!

  • What many people on here are forgetting is that it the job of the interviewer to ask questions that will generate a response from the interviewees. When he asked whether Freddie was a phenomenal showman, he was looking a response from Brian and Roger as to how he was a phenomenal showman. His questioning technique isnt great but the way the Brian and Roger responded to the whole interview was amazing. As for Paul Daniels, I feel sorry for the man. He didnt have much choice but to answer.

  • In Paul Daniels' defence - not something I would usually find myself saying - it's hardly his fault he got thrown into the middle of all this. Blame the show and the presenter by all means, but he's there in all innocence.

    Brian and Roger felt there were things that needed saying - and given some of the nonsense in the press at the time, they were undoubtedly right. It's just a shame that TV is the way it is, and this was the show they had to go on to say their piece.

  • Paul make yourself vanish!

  • Freddie Mercury was a true inspiration to many millions of people and did indeed change the world by increasing the awareness of aid as a result of his death...as for Paul Daniels what a wanker....how can he say those things...cunt.

  • how can you sit there and say you don't like music when you're sitting next to two of the most influencial people in music, ever. fuck Paul Daniels!

  • Love them both.

  • Why the fuck would someone question whether or not he was a phenomenal showman; OF COURSE HE WAS!

  • Comment removed

  • Wanker Paul Daniels

  • what the hell is danials doing there and where is john

  • @sineadc1973 John Deacon is a very private man who, according to his band mates, shuns the rock and roll life style....

  • paul daniels you ugly twat ,

  • RIP Freddie.

  • I would have lost my temper with this little TV interviewer and smashed his f'ing teeth in.

    Brian and Roger stayed so composed. They are such gentlemen. Such rare talents.

  • I don't know who the hell is this speaker, but you are definitely a TWAT if you are asking two of the members of The Queen, "how did you change the world??" Oh fuck off...

  • fuck off daniels

  • "I just put my head down into magic"

    Fuck off you short, twisted little cunt

  • Paul Daniels is walloper!

  • @polhealy No.

    He's a fucking cunt of an arsehole.

  • Brian and Roger must have been like 'wtf is this magician doing here?'

  • @raoulandtheking It's nice to see that there's actually people on youtube who don't go insane with insults and slurs when someone has opposing views or even just messing about. Cheers!!

  • @raoulandtheking I made this comment some time ago so I couldn't recall why I had called the interviewer an "ass", and because I'm a responsible person I watched the video again. After watching it for the second time I couldn't find any reason why I would have called him that. I apologize if I offended a broadcaster that you respect, I still stand by my position that the magician, however kind should not have been booked on the show that day. Cheers.

  • I keep thinking that maybe one day a band will come out with half of the joy and happiness that I feel with Queen.

    And all I get is autotuned, non-songwriting singers, rappers, and repetitiveness.

    Freddie, Roger, Brian, John, thanks for leaving a legacy that I can appreciate, even though I wasn't there.

    I hope that speaks volumes for what you have achieved, and I'll try to pass on your legacy to the next generation.

    We Still Love You.

  • Why on Earth is Paul Daniels chipping in?

  • @robsouthyorkshireuk Because he's a money grubbing little cunt

  • why are there so many losers that try to bring down legends? 2 amazingly successful rock stars vs an ugly news reader and a magician? please

  • He was Freddy Mercury on stage but off stage he was Farrokh Bulsara. Keep the two apart.

  • freddie mercury is iconic to my childhood, a real showman, his music has seen me through hard times who wants to live forever? freddie has done xxxxx

  • what video are they talking about?

  • Very good interviewer too.

  • Freddy will live on in the heart's and the good memorie's of all his fan's anf therefore will live on 4 EVA <3

  • I lost my father two weeks before Freddie died. I lost two heroes in one year. I couldn't function by the time Freddie passed. I just felt empty and that everything had been taken away from me.

  • i am 21 and Freddie changed my world, or better yet - without Freddie's music i would be a different person now. i grew up listening to it, it was often my lullaby. i remembered most of the songs back when i did not have a clue what they were about ( English is not my first language you see), i never saw his performance live but i have the utmost respect for him as a singer, performer... and i am glad to hear that he really did not die alone.

    thank you for a beautiful soundtrack to my childhood

  • Paul Daniels go home!

  • The magician guy seemed lovely and sympathetic toward Brian and Roger, even more so than that ASS of an interviewer. However, it seemes disrespectful and crass to have another guest on during this show, especially a magician given the timing and sensitive nature of what Brian and Roger were going through.

  • goodbye Freddie! Always love you. Sandra 

  • I like the way Brian raises he's eyes heavenward whenever he says Freddie's name.

  • 2 very good, heartbroken friends in every since of the word. Put aside their grief, pain, and fatigue to come on a morning show and defend their friend, band mate. I pray to let me be this kind of friend to mine.

    RPI Freddie, God just needed an instructor to teach the angels to sing.

  • 4:38 bumpkin.

  • Just think. Freddie would probably be alive today if he had been diagnosed in 1991 as opposed to the 80s. Magic Johnson was diagnosed around the time of Freddie's death and he (apparently) has no trace of HIV in his body now (though it's not cured per se).

  • I've heard countless British musicians say "sort of" in the same way that Americans say "uhmmm", as a pause in speech to collect thoughts. Just had to point that out. Love these guys

  • Paul Daniels FUCK OFF you are not worthy of sitting next to these two guys. end of

  • @yooanoozarrmay you're right hes a little nob

  • @banneradders lmao

  • it's not gay people that need to go to hell, it's the fucking insecure hateful fools who are so afraid of their own fucking feelings they have to hate an entire group of people they've never met, freddie mercury had more talent in his little finger than you retards could even dream of

  • apparently the guy he got aids from didnt die until 2008!? and it wasnt even from aids? how??

  • @BananaSandwich1 you're talking about Jim Hutton (Freddie's Husband). He died of lung cancer and he didn't give Freddie AIDS. Actually Freddie unknowingly infected Jim Hutton with HIV (which he kept hidden from Freddie). Jim was able to keep it from progressing with medication.

  • Respect to BM/RT for weathering thru all this crap. In 100 yrs time may Freddie & MJ's legacies, generous talent & message of love/compassion rise above all the lurid sensationalism and stigma.

    Would some1 who un/knowingly ingests cholesterol, carcinogens, stays sedentary etc be bashed for asking to die? or is it only sex/homophobia people obsess about? Freddie lived & paid for it, asked for no pity & kept at his job. What more fingers can we point but work on AIDS awareness & compassion?

  • I do wish that Freddie's friends would have truly warned him of the dangers in the life he was leading. Obviously, they were close enough to him to see the changes in his lifestyle and personality and that was definitely the time to step in and get him into some Rehab Program. He may have been addicted to sex, drugs and partying, as so many in the entertainers are, and telling him the truth, instead of "just being there for him" and being co-dependent would have perhaps saved Freddie's life.

  • @MsSweetunes well, Freddie did say he wanted to do things HIS ways, and, well they respected that, but at least he let a legacy for the world

  • paul daniels is a nob

  • i know even when he pretends to be sincier i want him to shut up

  • Brian May and Roger Taylor, what true dignified men they both are.

    Freddie will be proud of them.

  • Hats off to you gentlemen, hats off..Freddie, My goodness hun, what can I say But Thank you Thank you and thank you. Because of you doing your right work and the right thing each day,your example of love and goodness has taught me how our actions can effect anyone.anytime. I am a better more kind caring and tolerant person today,because of your sweet sweet spirit. I am not all who has noticed either.Your band mates are oozing with respect and admiration for you. That speaks volumes.peace <3<3

  • I don’t read news papers or watch the news anymore, at least not much, its full of propaganda that incites hatred and fear, and most of what they write is a half truth rather than the full truth… I am glad that Brian and Roger spoke out about the subject matter, and that some people are still speaking out about it now, because it needs to be said

  • how can people dislike this?! freddy was a amazing person and we should be paying respect not laughing about his death! there sick cunts

  • The woman in the round reminds me of the one in the "ITN Supersonic Saturday Scene" interview with Roger Taylor form the 70s. Anyone knows if it's the same person?

  • I really wonder what both Brian and Roger think these days. How do they think about "Don't ask, don't tell"? As they both stated, it's really a private matter really, isn't it? What you do in your own bedroom is your business, whether you are stock broker or an infantry-man. The gay community, however, want to shove their agenda down your throat. It's not about coming out of the closet...it's now accept us for who we are or else! Don't make it my business, because I don't care.

  • i totally agree with brian about the gay slurs thing im gay and i have gone through that stuff

  • this is a russian chanel haha

  • Brian and Roger are class acts.

  • Why is everybody havin a go at Paul Daniels.. He was being very considerate for someone who had little knowledge of the subject.. More so than the host..

  • You can clearly see how sad Brian May is... :(

  • fuck off daniels

  • love listening to brian & roger speak . theyre so intelligent n talented, not forgetting john deacon and the late freddie. all geniuses in their own rights.

  • lol brian mays: "its all crap, whats reported in the press..." he's so right! R.I.P freddie!!

  • oh for gods sake, why oh why is Paul Daniels even on the programme with brain may and Roger Taylor?????? what an insult! he obviously knows nothing regards the music business of Freddie or Queen,totally clueless

  • does anyone know where freddie got the aids?

  • Paul Daniels... what a moron!

  • i think that although freddy was gay and had aids, he was the best singer in all the world and roger and brian were his best partners . i would like also john deacon to be in this video.

  • @SaitouAyumu85 John wasn't a real fan of interviews.

  • Freddie had the most loyal friends ever in his bandmates. How lucky he was to have found these guys who loved him then and love him still. Not one of the three of them (John, Roger, or Brian) have ever had anything bad to say about him - only loving things. That is friendship. Freddie was lucky.

  • paul daniels ya bollocks. shouldnt even be on the couch with them gods

  • What album were they talking about that was released with profits going to AIDS? "Innuendo"?

  • @arthuronfacebook It was a re-release of Bohemian Rhapsody with "These Are The Days of Our Lives". Bohemian Rhapsody once again made #1 on the UK Charts.

  • I love the way brian speaks. very intellectual.

  • BRIAN MAY

    ROGER TAYLOR

    great.

    <3

  • Paul Daniels, truly something that begins with W, ends in R and has ANKE in the middle.

  • @BadGirlOfAutism you could also Paul Daniels is an absolute arogant winker dinker asshole who doesn't know what he's talking about

  • thats just disrespectful having that utter tosspot paul daniels on the show at a time like this

  • something's really wrong with this magician lad. he needed to be shot in the head.

  • Paul Daniels what a cunt!

  • @Alanwh30 i agree, what a cunt...what the fuck is he doing on that sofa with them legends?

  • Bravo Brian and Roger. You have worked hard to keep Queen and Freddie alive in peoples hearts, and you have been thoroughly successful. Bless you.

  • I knew a beautiful soprano who was married to a music professor. she used to bring booze home to him like a dutiful wife. well he died of liver failure. its a painful fact that she enabled the poor man. fools will say that he died happy. the harsh reality is that many so called friends and lovers are codependent. Freddie would have been better off in a cave than WITH THESE SANCTIMONIOUS CADS we see here missleading other impressionable fans.

  • @uncatila You are a disrespectful cunt.

  • @DigitalTwisted that is a very substantive comment

  • @uncatila I like to be as erudite and concise as possible. You're really not that bad, but still, they aren't being sanctimonious, they are just being honest. Rare in so called "celebrities" but they were his friends, the closest ones he had.

  • one question i have is why is the fucking magician there....

  • i know, the most innapropriate thing ever! it's like having a clown sitting there

  • Onanism is the antithesis of chastity. Learn to distinguish between the two. one is a vice born of selfish lust and one is a virtue based upon charity. resist one and exercise the other. God bless and Save Freddy in all mercy.

  • @uncatila you should smoke a joint man, i'm serious

  • @uncatila You should try going outside

  • Are you for real uncatila?? You sound like a joke to me.

  • Freddy is not Gay now. without a body you are not given to fleshy temptations. He is in the spirit world now. All the good that he did will go on while anything that is impure will be burned up as it should be. That is what each person will go through.

    I like his more serious and human songs rather than his frivolous ones. Those are the songs that will be around after you and I are dead and facing our reward and punishment. Chow ye gay ladis

  • i don't know if it's a joke, anyways shame on you for what you've said and for where you wrote it

  • @uncatila FUCK YOU, YOU GODDAMNED FANATIC!!

  • @uncatila If you're serious with what you're saying, you belong in a mental institution for the rest of your life.

  • @uncatila do us all a favour and remove these homophobic, idiotic comments of yours please

  • sorry I haven't read all this comments, or will do, but if somebody can tell me why John Deacon never appears around when this kind of stuff ( interviews ), or even mentioned

  • @natxo1975mora I think when Freddie died.. John just gave up on music, I think.

  • where's john deacon??? RIP Freddie

  • Brian, Roger and John loved Freddie deeply and gave him the utmost respect.  And this is why I love these guys.

  • The interviewer seems like a real arsehole.

  • Whats the magician guy gotta do with anything?!?!?! If I'm not mistaken, this was an interview for Brian and Roger, two of the 4 greatest people to ever live.

  • Brian & Roger are so amazing in this interview - so brave of them they really are amazing friends to Freddie! I really wish they didnt have that other douche there at the same time - i mean really who the fuck is that?

  • What was the show thinking of in putting a magician together with the likes of Brian May and Roger Taylor? I think the interviewers should have just forgone the idea of having anyone else on the show that day and just interviewed Brian and Roger. The magician just basically butts in with his insensitive comments and lack of sympathy.

    Brian and Roger though remain calm and collected despite the rubbish they have to put up with here. Total gents.

  • Mike Morris was a rather large waste of space there. But Brian May and Roger Taylor were dignified gents

  • its obvious the grief brian and roger r going thru there.

  • paul daniels wud of been better saying nothing at all rather than the rubbish he came out with

  • I Love Brian and Roger ,John too =) , and everything that Brian said about accepting gay people ROCKS! "Heteros for gay or whatever it is...you know!" Thank you guys...Rock on forever

    ~Long Live QUEEN~

    --Jessica F.

  • i love everything brian may said about people needing to open their minds, hereos for gay!

  • There is something missing at the bottom of someones garden . A Gnome .

    Oh there it is sitting on the sofa of TV AM . Fecking Paul Daniels , what a fecking prick . Paul , do us a favour , get your fishing rod , stupid red hat and return to the bottom of that garden

  • Who the hell is that Paul Daniels guy? And why is he talking about Freddie? Wash your fuckin mouth first.

  • roger and espically brian are such class acts and such gentlemen. Glad Freddie had such ace friends. Thank U Queen for all the mind blowing music.

  • Paul Daniels... What a fuckin wanker!

    Bad call on the part of the breakfast show to have that twat associated with Brian and Rodger. Unbelievable!

  • Paul Daniels, stain of a wank!

  • Friends that keep your private things in private are the real friends. And These guys demonstrate that. Respect.

  • @gerry1976 - Yes, you absolutely right!! Friendship is base on respect.

  • He's a weed that Daniels.

  • what the fucks wrong with that paul daniels!?

    "i wasnt a fan of music" what the hell??

    xx

  • Paul Daniels was a complete fucking wanker.

  • he keeps looking up when he says Freddie... <3

  • In my eyes both Roger and Brian are heros and befor judging Bri remember that Freddie´s last official statement was including the wish: please join with me and my doctors the battle against this diseas.

  • Based on what Brian said between 2:11 and 2:25, here's a response to the homophobic cunt who was responsible for saying that:

    Freddie did NOT admit he was gay when he announced he had AIDS. You just admitted to the public that you're a complete shithead of a reporter! I myself am straight, but I know a statement like that is fucking bullshit. And I don't care that this happened when I was 10 months old - Freddie was being tortured most unfairly by AIDS, and the press deciding not to fuck off.

  • Comment removed

  • may said ( i think, one of the results of his life, it´s that people have a diferent attitude who people been gay) he´s right on a way, cause, Mercury was an example to people who has homophobic mind, he show how incredible can be a human, no matter the sexual preferences!. mr. may doesn´t point never to mercury´s legacy in music, very rare times, this was the right and fair occasion to for almost give an speech about all good times with him when they was Queen, ÍT´S NOT FAIR

  • i beg you pardon, for all my lacks to english grammar, i was writting extremely sad, and fast. don´t drop my humble opinion to trash, i´m telling you what i´ve have to see and hear, i don´t like it but i´m sure it´s truth

  • even more fame ,after the trafedy occurred, they say, imposible, to continue with another leadvovalist, with the idea of the memorial for Freddy Mercury, they got the oportunity to get aparently reasons to stay under Queen´s jurisdiction, unless they show a little bit respect with the + that they add to QUEEN ´S INSIGNIA

  • with the excuse, with the mask of ; make QUEEN still alive, when the real fact, is they ´re to mush far of was it was Q music, Deacon must have more that just the reason he gave when he came out of the band, but we can just especulate , deacon it´s totaly out of the royal scene now, i know, you gonna say, why then just taylor and may gave the face to defend F, where was his close deacon?

    easy, one of the crusial reasons is cause they want to keep with the band and all the sudden ..

  • brian may remark ( one of them) ,reallly that was not a sad face, i´m sorry, but, just it´s inevitable to see it. for any reason, does anyone else has that needle on your mind? , i have seen all the interviews ,and i always is easy to see, how mush they care freddy mercury´s image, memory obviously cause Queen it´s marcked with MR. Mercury´s hand, in photos, interviews the close person to Freddy is Deacon, the one who it´s exactly erase of that thing of

    ( let´s keep with the band .

  • they were a rock band, no friends, were mates of succesful of what it´s one of the most important bands in history, they did a good right defence talking about the aids, and defending him against the despicable press, but, when it´s time for theire own opinions about the musician he was, ( a mean, just at one week later from that horrible day) they, and most roger taylor, seems to almost refuce to talk about his undeniable talent ( the man was an absolute genious) but is sad cause.....

  • I LOVE QUEEN, but i can´t stop thinking about the trulypure heart of roger and May talking about Freddie, the truth is

    they decided to keep on with the band when there was no band, freddy mercury is irreplaceble , and now , they´re on stage (rockin) with the asshole, john deacon i think is the most honest person on what there´s left of band, reallt makes me cry i donñt say they were totaly hypocrites, just pay attencion behind the faces, especialy in the part 1 of the interview

  • WTF was up with the magician?! What did he have to do with anything?

    Anyway, this makes me wanna cry, they look so devastated, and to top it all they had to put up with all that crap... People can be so narrow minded...

    We still love you Freddie!

  • This interview is terribley organised.

    Its so heart breaking seeing Brian and Roger so sad...

    Rest In Peace Freddie

  • I totally agree with you ryhorn.

  • roger is destroyed

  • This shit makes me very angry. I can't imagine how Brian and Roger felt at that moment.

  • I know. First Freddie was being horribly eroded by AIDS and the media persisted on interfering in the poor guy's privacy. Then he explained the truth publically when he didn't have to, he died the next day, and then the media STILL had nothing nice to say about him after everything he did for us. If those disrespectful fuck-mouths can't be supportive they should shut the fuck up. Not to worry though. Freddie's now and forever in the company of God and Jesus. God bless Freddie Mercury.

  • rogers face at 8:33 makes me so sad!!!!!
