“Freddie Mercury was a lovely guy. He was this big star but he was also this big fan. I remember being in his home one time and he was going bananas over David Bowie’s ‘Absolute Beginners’ song. He wouldn’t stop playing it to me over and over, saying: “John, can you hear the harmonising there, and that 3rd and 7th chord ?! Pure genius, pure genius!”
