Interviewer: You can’t be in this “job” of Queen for life, can you?

Freddie: Ah, you want me to put a deadline on it now. I don’t know. Five years ago you could have asked me the same question and I couldn’t tell you. It could all end tomorrow. I’m not afraid of it. It’s a precarious life, but I think I like it that way. I like it a little risky. Okay, so I’m quite well off, but money in the bank doesn’t mean anything to me. I spend it as quickly as it comes. I could be penniless tomorrow, but I wouldn’t care that much. I have this survival instinct in me.

“Freddie is… Well, he’s my best friend. He’s very good for me, you know. I do not like meeting new people, but when I’m with Freddie I stop being shy! It’s amazing how he “works” on me. And sometimes he’s the only one person who understands me… He’s my voice, you know…”

– John Deacon

Freddie loved towels and bathroom linen of all descriptions. The bigger the towel the more he liked it. Freddie found a large array of exotically patterned bath sheets, huge, almost the size of bed sheets. He also found some amazing blankets which he used to wrap around himself while watching television rather than putting them on the bed. He might have not even been cold but just loved the blankets which were of a fluffy man-made fiber representing angora, patterned in circles, stripes and triangles of bright primary colors on a white background.

Freddie Mercury : By Peter Freestone with David Evans

Freddie was a Mega Star, a Legend and a giant in the music industry. But yet he was just a man filled with tenderness, gentleness and who loved the simple things in life which provided him comfort and solace. I can’t be sure, but I would assume those nights watching T.V. wrapped in a blanket provided him some of the most peaceful times in his life. We should know everything we possibly can about Freddie, and I think this is a sweet little find.
