Freddie Mercury would have been 60 today

Queen's front man would have celebrated his 60th birthday today. I don't know if I would have wanted to see him growing old - Would he have retained his stage presence and vitality or would he have gone down the pan the way the Stones did, trying to remain youthful and dynamic but losing the fight against wrinkles and rheumatism?
Anyway, happy birthday, Freddie. Bet there's a big party in Rock'n'Roll Heaven today.
P.S. Scary to think that he was younger than I am now when he died ...

Could be worse. By the time he was my age Mozart had been dead 12 years.

The folks back in his home town arent too happy about a planned birthday bash for him!

Story from the BBC.

Seems a bit mean spirited, they should compromise and allow the party as long as no reference to his sexuality is made, declare him a honorary hetro or something. After all hes mostly known for his singing not his sexuality.

Happy Birthday Freddie and RIP

He would've been shacked up with George Michael by now

quote from that story 3lions posted:


effing god-bothering fuckwittery, innit

@topsy shit now whos anti-muslim? You usually stick up for them dont you?

But he was of Zoroastrian descent, so no skin of their Tanzinian noses. Don't know why they just don't see it as a time to cash in on tourist bucks - surely they could put up signs saying 'Soddomy strictly forbidden' and leave it at that!

i'm not anti-moslem, i'm anti fundamentalist fuckwits (whether they're christian, moslem, hindu, whatever)

Obviously in Rosenheim not Munich!
Supposedly his boots are still hanging up in a local pub where you can "fill your boots". Allegedly.

RIP Freddie.

I very much doubt that Mercury would at anytime want to rest in peace. More like party in perpetuity...

Rimming in Paradise innit.

'Who wants to live for ever?'
RIP Freddie
If he had lived to be 60 would he have married George Micheal? if so ...Elton John for the best man?
now that would be a serious party

Prösterchen Fairy King!
