Freddie Mercury - The Untold Story - Part 08 (08/12)

[sparksfly44]

Jim's words are so heartfelt. "I do like to think his last years were as happy as they could have possibly ever been". Awww crying

[jitterbug121]

In my opinion it wouldn't have mattered to Freddy's fan's if he were gay, I know it wouldn't have mattered to me! Freddy was someone you loved because he was Freddy<3

[BananaSandwich1]

no fucker in this universe is gonna upset it, i like his tenacity

[mmike222]

new york is the place!!

[Jeannie1844]

watch "when kenny everett met freddie mercury" - Kenny's ex-wife talked at length about what they were doing sexually at the time, as well as others - clearly they thought they were immune and immortal, and then found out otherwise

[Gooner7001]

"I've stopped having sex and started growing tulips"-Hah!

[10b23d93c]

@Internalpeaceseeker I know people didn't use condoms back then like they do nowadays. If they knew of the major risks involved then as they do now, a lot of things would be different. I'm talking about everybody, not just homosexuals, everybody!!! Just saying be smart!!

[10b23d93c]

LOL......you CANNOT get HIV/AIDS drinking from the same straw!!! Geez!! You might catch a cold or flu or something to that effect. You get it by bodily fluids like blood or from someone's ejaculation. Shit like that. People use your head by practicing SAFE sex and just being smart about what you are doing!!!

[longfootbuddy]

blah! i cant believe it...

[cocolossal69]

This is great ... only ... no Roger? Where was he?

[SmokinMo11]

@kungiiii Thats not what Im saying at ALL!! Im simply telling ppl that they can get aides amongst other things from shareing straws.Fact is...We really dont know how Freddy contracted Aides. Yes,Its a strong possiblity that he did catch it from his boyfriend.Freddy could've given it to his boyfriend also.You can also get Aides from shareing straws snorting coke with a room full of Queens.They didnt know that back then.My bro died from Aides from an infected blood transfusion & he was also gay.

[RaeRae914]

@SmokinMo11 AIDS!!!

[FrogJacuzzi]

@SmokinMo11

Sharing a straw? Surely VERY unlikely? Why not just explain that it's transmitted in the blood? Aren't you adding unnecessarily to a hell of a lot of fear, confusion and stigma?

You show your ignorance because you can't even spell AIDS, which is an acronym for auto-immune deficiency syndrome.

Trying to defend your ignorant bigotry by citing your dead gay brother, is disingenuous and insulting to his memory. I feel bad for him, having had you as a sibling, you appalling shit.

[natalieinge]

@FrogJacuzzi Actually it is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, but i agree with your comment. it is far more likely to get Hep C from sharing straws than it is HIV, which is actually relatively difficult to transmit as it dies on contact with oxygen.

[SmokinMo11]

I've got news for you...You CAN contract hepatitisc & HIV from snorting coke.Its called,shareing straws.Ppl stick straws in thier noses breaking blood vessels then passing it to the next person.You may as well be shareing a needle if you're stupid enough to do that.Back then,no1 knew.Today,ppl should know better & if u dont know these things by now...I suggest u start reading those papery things called 'Books'.

[kungiiii]

@SmokinMo11 Is that supposed to be somekind alibi that he didn't got aids with another man? He was going in gay bars and had several boyfriends. There are thousand sources to prove it. Did you know that his exboyfriend Everett died in aids 1993? Everett was spending most of time with gaybars too.

[RaeRae914]

@SmokinMo11 Hepatitis,,, Sharing,,, their,,They are your spelling mistakes and your grammer is appalling,perhaps you should go back to that place with tables and chairs inside called SCHOOL,,,you dummy.You shouldn't go around telling anybody to read books when you clearly cannot even spell !!!

[longfootbuddy]

@RaeRae914 mocking someones spelling or grammar on youtube comments, is kind of like a last resort in youtube argument...i get it all the time when people realize that ive won the argument, so they say something like "oh you cant spell, so you must be dumb!lol"...psh...like people give a shit about grammar, punctuation, or spelling while writing comments.. its important to point out flaws in logic and reason rather than petty insults like spelling

[RaeRae914]

@longfootbuddy Perhaps hunni you should mind your own business :) cheers darling xx

[RaeRae914]

@longfootbuddy And by the by i NEVER EVER start shit on u tube, but when its started with me i do react ,,perhaps u do not, but i made one simple mistake was quickly correct by someone very rude ,,so in a effort to explain no one is perfect i pointed out HIS spelling mistakes ok ,,great.

[longfootbuddy]

@RaeRae914 dont hit me

[RaeRae914]

@longfootbuddy lol id never ever do that :):)

[plutao]

The spansh call Caballé "La Suprema" well Barcelona was like innuendo and bohemian rhapsody the supreme musics of mankind

[fabhomer]

3:50 My favorite Queen "fashion style" and music period

[xoxDifference]

The members of Queen are the sexiest beasts on Earth.

[iamcasihart]

Could anyone tell me, where is part 9 of this wonderful documentary?

[sozontius]

6:10 It's One vision from ' A Kind of Magic' album!

[JanJanCherry]

can anyone tell me what the song is at 6:08?

I'm having trouble remembering...

[WildRuss104]

Freddie is my God

[freddieurlaub]

mine too

[earlyAMbirds]

"I've finally found myself and no fucker in the universe is gonna take it"....

as much as I love Freddie, I have to say: Sorry, life happens... there's always a catch

[BlueSpirals]

Thanks for the advice, retard.

[earlyAMbirds]

wasn't advising anybody

[Gajcia]

OMG I adore Freddie... And Phoebe is sweet!

[pinkstarburst95]

.....no

[soulforlife86]

ok ppl..if wt u r saying is true..and that homosexuality is a very normal thing..and we aaaall should except it..and that God has created it..then just imagin for a sec that all men r with men and so as females..don't u realize that this would put an end to the world and elemnate the existence of the human beings..don't u see??..its NOT about religion or anything else..its about OUR surviving !..plz try to consider that.. STILL..don't get me wrong..i adore freddie for his talent & voice..

[zirconia80]

There are a lot of people in the world. No way everyone could be gay in any realm of existence. BUT IF that ever were to happen there's still IVF. You don't have to have sex to get pregnant.

[soulforlife86]

ok so that is ur solution to this problem..?!..well suit urself narrow heads!..and keep lying to urselves as much as u like i don't care..but there's one fact we all know is that FM had AIDS b'coz of his actions and u know wt they r!..im saying that with regret coz i adore Freddie so much and i wish he had lived longer..but hey if wanna keep bringin Aids to ur community by keeping these thoughts..then i don't give a damn!!!

[soulforlife86]

hhhh...u r so funny!...im not even christian!!..and if u read my comment carefully enough instead of insulting me "which by the way shows how much u don't even worth respect" uill see that i said its NOT about religion..U r the one who is putting religion borders around here not me by assuming that everyone who tries to save the community from diseases is related to religion!!..and (aids is a desease that we can so easily stop) uhhh..HOW its easily if u see ppl r DYING from it all around u ?!!

[soulforlife86]

AGAIN..im saying that coz i like ppl like freddie who have such a great charisma and can effect on ppl's life..if u cared enough for freddie u'ill regret his death too and tried to fight that..but obviously u Don't!!

[rayfenwick]

Hang on, we don't KNOW how Freddie contracted HIV. Just because no-one has said it wasn't through IV drug abuse or a contaminated blood transfusion doesn't mean it wasn't - no one has said "Freddie caught HIV from unprotected sex with X-person." We also don't KNOW that it wasn't a woman - Freddie had relationships with both. Sure, it was PROBABLY his gay promiscuity, which Freddie never denied, but none of us can say DEFINITELY how Freddie got HIV, so we shouldn't label opinions as FACT....

[ritter89]

@rayfenwick Exactly. Most people jump directly to homosexual encounters to explain FM's HIV status but seem to forget about Magic Johnson and the dozens of other popular figures who were completely hetero and yet developed AIDS/HIV.

[Cathie8791]

@rayfenwick I appreciate what you're trying to say, but I think we can say with 99.9% certainty that Freddie contracted AIDS via sexual promiscuity. I have never heard or read that Freddie was a drug addict or that he ever needed a blood transfusion. It's no secret that he lived a hard and fast life throughout the 70s and early 80s - the prime era when AIDS was being transmitted via sex. Even close friends of his acknowledge that he likely contracted it via his wild liaisons in NYC.

[panda123456789ed]

@rayfenwick It could be through blood transfusion, but not through IV drug abuse. Freddie only snorted. Coke. What a guy.

[iqknowles]

@rayfenwick That's true, but it's medically nearly impossible for a man to contract HIV from sex with a woman without the presence of another STD.

[AngelicStorm1]

@iqknowles That is complete and utter nonsense. Why is it then, that AIDS is such an epidemic in many parts of Africa? Which has such a high HIV infection rate compared to the rest of the world. Homosexuality is far less prevelant in Africa, due to homosexuality being illegal in many parts, which can carry a lengthy prison term, or even a death sentence. There are far more men practicing gay sex in Europe and the US compared to Africa, yet Africa has a far bigger problem with AIDS.

[AngelicStorm1]

@iqknowles Anyone engaging in unprotected sex (especially if you are promiscuous) or are using unsteralised needles to inject are at the highest risk of catching HIV. It's the high rate of unprotected HETEROSEXUAL sex in Africa that is the main cause of the disease there. There is no credible scientific evidence to support you. In fact, all the available evidence conflicts with your statement. Freddie caught HIV because he didn't use protection, and was promiscuous, not because he was gay.

[AngelicStorm1]

@internalpeaceseeker You don't have a shred of proof to back up that statement. There is no concrete evidence that when AIDS started, only gays had it. No evidence whatsoever. And you completely ignored my statement about Africa. HIV and AIDS is more rampant there than anywhere else in the world, and it is almost exclusively a heterosexual disease over there. Homosexuality is far less prevelant in many parts of Africa due to it being illegal, and carrying heavy sentences, including death.

[LadyLisa513]

@rayfenwick You need to check out when freddie mercury met kenny Everett ( 1 of 6 ). they shared lovers and both died of aid's. at least thats the way they tell it in this short doc. im not saying its true just so you know that.

[kyrastube]

@rayfenwick yes, he COULD have gotten it from a needle, or from a woman. but as far as the woman is concirned. there is much higher risk of a man infecting another man or a woman with HIV than it is a woman infecting a man. and a woman infecting another woman is pretty much unheard of if I remember correctly.

[keepthrashalive]

@rayfenwick true,but at the time homosexual men were contracting aids at an alarming rate at the time and aids was basically incurable then and if you had it then it was only a matter of time. I think he got it through another gay man but your comment definitely made me think. I sure wish he was still here.. He has the most amazing voice i've ever heard and is just an amazing person.

[LeeliaL]

fuck religion! who cares about some retarded god thing???????? fuck the fact that he is gay ...he was a genius and a mastermind and that is more important then god or homosexuality .

[klisowska]

EXACTLY!!!!

[Chazzbass13]

SORRY I MENT TO PRESS THUMBS UP!

[tonyskins19]

george michaels might die next from sleeping around

[klisowska]

he's not sleeping around....

[napaccadenoie]

Jim Hutton cut his Moustache! No!!!!

[internalpeaceseeker]

freddie did too in 87 i think

[1980Triumph]

you can like and love Freddie and not approve of his lifestyle. I don't need to bash him but I do not agree with homosexuality and I believe that is the most tragic part of his life.

[DirkjeA]

Tragic?? what are you talking about, didnot you see the part of his beloved Mary, who said that he was whole again after admitting, and finaly happy. Not agree with homosexuality? it is not something you choose, but something you are, like being born with fregles, blond or red hair, it is something that is you, how can you be against something like that. Not aproving of his lifestyle, now that I can understand, however I have another meaning. lifestyle is something you can change if you like.

[1980Triumph]

excuse me but homosexuality is a choice and a behavior. I don't believe Freddie was born that way but became engrossed in something he couldn't get out of. That is why he was never happy and in the end who he left all his money to is the real example of who he loved/should of loved all the way through

[DirkjeA]

You should go back to school, science proofs us, that homosexuality is something you are born with. It is not a behaviour that you choose You think like the the church in the Middle Ages. Commenting on his money, it was that he was with Mary first, they stayed friends, his male lover got half a million pound and a big estate, so don't tell me he didnot love him. Money doesnot count for whom he love most, if that is your way of thinking and argument I pitty you.

[1980Triumph]

In the end of it all you will wish you adhered to the truth of God and nature, it isn't male and male, its male and female. male and male and vice versus doesn't work in any form of nature including humans...your so lost

[DirkjeA]

Idiot. I always learned God loves all his creatures, regardlessly. You dont talk like a real christian. I am not a christian, thank God, as they are as intolerant as you seems to be. I am not lost, as you so gladly want to believe, that is more for onetrack minded people like you, who are a minority, at least in my country (thank God again)!!!!!!!!!!

[misshydeportugal]

Christians are not intolerant. :\

[MirrPL]

I wish you were 100% right about that. Really.

I hope your words one day will become true. Not in my life time though, I'm afraid.

But to those who are without prejudice....(christians or otherwise)....I SALUTE YOU! :)

[DirkjeA]

To 1980 Triumph: This answer is typical for someone who loses a debate and hides behind old dogma's of the church. Btw, the official church has accepted homosexuality as something that happens and cannot be changed, those days they believed is was a changeable behaviour are long gone. I am curious what sect you are from???

[1980Triumph]

Dude, life is about serving the will of God and he didn't make men to be with men, its unnatural and wrong. I love Freddie regardless but I do believe it was part of his downfall. You can't tell me its natural for 2 males or 2 females to be together. Freddie should of found a nice female to spend his life with.

[DirkjeA]

I am no dude, I am a dutch lady. As I said I am not religious but even I know the bible says God loves all his creatures and his forgiveness is endless he wouldnot give aids to someone who is gay as a punishment, what about all those baby's in Africa, being born HIV positive, what is their "crime" cause that is what you are saying. By the way even the Pope banned a bishop who stated homosexuality is a disease. Lets end this debate, you are so onetrackminded no need to go in to this further.

[soulforlife86]

i couldn't agree more:)

[1980Triumph]

thank you

[May211086]

What are you talking about? no queen's fan are homophobic or if there is... how weird are they? i love gays and you know what I wish i was a man to go out with a man like Freddie Mercury... and I feel like him, it's a good choice he had to try things with women and men because when you fall in love with someone it's not just about the gender.

[DirkjeA]

I totaly agree with you, seeing homosexuality as a disease, or state of mind that can be changed. "let him find a nice wife and it will blow over" is such a stupid and Middle Ages way of looking at it.

[nthglasScotland]

Freddie & Jim made a lovely couple. Jim made Freddie happy, & a lot of 30-somethings yearn for that person.

[atlantacuba]

0:49 - sexy!!!!

[nspo]

I've spent all day cruising Queen vids, and this withetubbe individual is spewing its hate all over them. Makes one wonder why it makes the effort.

[leenieweenie123]

I know!!!! If he hates Freddie that much why is he taking the time to seek out his videos and make such sickening comments. It is really pathetic!

[ABBALIEVE]

diana and zandra are so talented, freddie always looked amazing!

[CatherineInRock]

I hear ya. I have come across quite a number of "fans" denying the fact that Freddie was fundamentally gay. To try and claim that it is some kind of media/gayworld conspiracy to portray him as such is just downright ridiculous. It is that deep-rooted homophobia that prevents some ppl from admitting to liking someone who is gay. Sad.

[prideorion7]

Diana,you've made beautiful costumes for Freddie(especially for the Magic Tour in 1986)

[prideorion7]

Zandra,you're awesome...

[ladybale9]

I can't understand jim hutton talking... anybody can?

[klisowska]

I can't.

[klisowska]

I can barely understand what he is saying, but generally I can, by single words.Maybe because he's Irish;)

[LesPaul2006]

Jim Hutton has the worst teeth ever.

[emoheartcannie07]

it's nice that he met someone that he could settle down with, why is it so strange for someone to 'quit sex for tulips' ?

[pinkvictoria18]

Freddie was such a beautiful person. I would have loved to meet him. I was only 5 when he passed away though... =(

*I still love you, Freddie!*

[strat002]

he died 2 days before i was born

[karmaverick]

Parsis are always a lil crack.....this guy got a platform

[cholling]

Aw man, that's it for me. I'm out! This program's not focusing enough on the music and the other bandmates in Queen.

[millettc]

Perhaps that's why it's called 'Freddie Mercury - The Untold Story'

It's about Freddie Mercury.

[cholling]

Could be.

[hugadzaga]

i hate jim hutton, but it isn´t his fault-freddie was bi

[SuzLa1]

Why do you hate Jim? He made Freddie happy in his last days. I read his book and thought it was nice.

[preposterous3637]

Freddie is my idol.

[papercanfly]

@preposterous3637 The greatest singer ever, and its sad that he's gone. R.I.P Freddie Mercury. The more I learn about you, the more I love you even more!

[greaseblaster69]

when people call some one a beast it usually means that they are awsome. sory for the confusion, i think that he is awsome

[lachanetta]

beast does not have to mean anything negetive, when i say that a talanted person is a beast, i mean they take charge in everything they do and make it wonderful, the best, and nobody can touch them, so yes he is a beat and one of the greatest artist of all time.

[greaseblaster69]

freddie mercury = total beast

[dsrp82]

the only beast I see here is you, you retard! Fuck you!

[LiberatedTerritories]

"I've finally found a niche in this world, and no fucker in this universe is going to upset it"

What a legend!

[rnichols78]

Freddie, you were absolutely one of a kind and we will always love you for that. Noone can ever duplicate or replace you. RIP Freddie my dear, sleep well with the angels. You will always be our lover boy.

[pinkchan831]

"i stopped having sex and started growing tulips!" haha, freddie! (also, 00:56, freddie and his whip? sexy stuff! XP)

[bonjohnllie023]

lmao

[backdraftt]

bonjohnllie023, could you tell me whay daes it mean, Imao? Sorry if it is a stupid question.

[bonjohnllie023]

laughin my ass out.. well I commented that to someone else's comment but it appeared there on the top.. I was laughin about that Freddie said that "I stopped havin sex and started growin tulips.." lmao

[backdraftt]

It's a nice way of life then, eh? Quit sex for tulips... And without a doubt safer ))

[mackys101]

laughing my ass off..

[puckoster]

No, Brian isn't, nor wasn't.

[LoveMyPup13]

Can someone tell me is Brian May is gay too?

[LoveMyPup13]

Well thats a good thing. Thx

[Rileyhodge44]

thats mean! Brian May rocks! and everyone needs to get over the fact that Freddie was gay! he was a great singer and thats what wos important not if he was gay or not!

[bonjohnllie023]

[PepanekFromKO]

[dansitar]

It's so you

/watch?v=uYwu3exUx1A

[prettikitten]

I like the musical background of queen documentaries.

[xcjaxx]

they went from talking when he was a 18 yr old straight to 1975 when hes 29. i wanna kno wut inspired him to write his first songs especially bohemian rhapsody.

[Qbot47]

Bo rhap wasnt really one of his first songs......bte if u remember A night at the opera was about the 4th album and there are also the smile songs......but for bo rhap i read sumwhere that he just rote like 1 line every like 5 days...and the operatic part they were kinda just saying random stuff.....i may be wrong but thats what i read correct me plz if i am

[vanillacanella]

He was what he was.....He was Freddie.

Ignorant people don't has to talk about him.

[CRAZYCEL24]

That crown fits him PERFECT!!!

[shitallovermyself]

why did he have to be gay??

[CRAZYCEL24]

I have asked myself the same question, I would marrie him without thinking more then 2 min about it! Love of my life!!!

[claudel83]

i didn't like the woman with black shirt

[mysticalelf40]

QUEEN ROCKS

[mappleleaf]

great, but Montserrat Caballé is Catalan, not Spanish...

[jmcmegamega]

Don't want to offend anybody, but Catalunya is a part of Spain

[mappleleaf]

no offense, but politics is politics and feelings are feelings...

[laduran]

yes, and borders are borders and Catalunya is clearly in Spain.

[azahara00]

Amen to that!

Requiescat In Pace Freddie... the greatest rock musican to have walked this planet.

[cruzdelmoro]

Caballé es Catalana por lo tanto Española, ella misma dice que la canción es sobre su ciudad Barcelona, no sobre su pais España.

Viva Freddie
