You Know It's Always "Brian May Cries While Shaking Hands With Imaginary Freddie In Concert" Or "Emotional

Brian: I’m playing what I always play!

Fred: You’re playing “nyi nyi nyi nyi nyi”

Brian: I’m playing exactly what is on the record Fred!

Roger: You do slow it down

Brian: (fed up) Oh, fuck slowing down.. that’s hardly the point

Fred: We might try and join in with you. You are expecting all of us to be perfect before you even attempt-

Brian: (still fed up) Oh don’t be so fucking ridiculous

John: Take it down a bit

Roger: No don’t take it down!

Brian's letter, from the Winter 1991 edition of the Queen Fanclub Magazine.

Here's the text for those who find it difficult to understand the writing.

Wed. 27th Nov 91

3:00 Early morning

Dear folks,

This time I'm putting pen to paper for the 3 of us, John, Roger and myself. We have spent many hours together over the last few weeks and especially the last few days, and I think we feel very closely the same. We couldn't let this special magazine go out without a very special message of thanks to you, our wonderful friends ('fans' has never seemed quite the right word for you guys, (by which I mean ladies and gentlemen) who have been so incredibly understanding and supporting to us over the years). As you know by now, Freddie was fighting the terrible AIDS disease for many years, and for much of the time even we didn't know. For Freddie, his art and his friends were everything. He poured himself with huge vigour into both. He was determined that no hint of frailty should mar his music, or our music, or make life difficult for his friends. By refusing to concede anything to the illness, his amazing strength and courage enabled him to continue at full strength in making albums, videos, etc., even though it cost him more and more in private(?) pain. Life was already almost impossible for him while we were making the Innuendo album (After pacing himself very carefully during 'The Miracle' he hardly expected he would be alive for another.) By the time 'Days Of Our Lives' was being shot on video, he could barely stand. He never in our hearing complained about his lot, and never let despondency creep into his work. His voice seemed to get miraculously better and better. And he died without ever losing control. Freddie never wanted sympathy - he wanted exactly what you, Queen fans, gave him :- belief, support, and the endorsement of that strangely winding road to excellence that we, Queen, have tried to follow. You gave him support in being the outstandingly free spirit that he was, and is.

One final word. Whatever the despicable press may have made out, Freddie had nothing to be ashamed of. He lived life to the full, and was generous to everyone he came close to. His announcement, made by his own will only when he knew his fight was over, will, with our help and yours, be a major factor in persuading the public that AIDS is now EVERYONE'S problem. But Freddie, his music, his dazzling creative energy - those are forever.

Thank you all so much from us:-

Brian, Roger and John.

 THE UNSUNG WRITING ‘PARTNERSHIP’ OF MERCURY-MAY

I think what you’ve got with Queen is the Lennon-McCartney, the Buckingham-Nicks, the Townsend-Daltrey… You’ve got the two people in Freddie Mercury and Brian May who actually couldn’t really have done it on their own and needed each other — Trevor Dann

I might just actually post a fic on this god help me  Update: I did the thing (x) Originally from BrianMayNumber1Fan on youtube (x)

He loved you, he loved you and that scared you,

rather than face loving him too, you ran.
