This makes me so sad as well. It brings me memories of my Uncle Frank whose life I feel paralleled Freddie's. We were very close and he too died of AIDS in 1993 right before all these wonderful drugs were developed to keep those afflicted alive. It was the first time someone really close to me passed away and I remember thinking I would never smile or laugh again. I often think of how things would be if he had just held on a bit longer, but he was too far gone. He was only 58.

He was such a talented man. Sadly he refused to continue taking medication and chose to live life in excess.

@SilleeMee What medication did he refuse? There was no aids medication at the time he had aids. Just curious.

It was meds that kept him alive. I don't know what they were but just that he stopped taking them and then died two weeks later. @SeaMaiden
He also took AZT which was approved for use in 1987. Mercury died in 1991.

@SilleeMee Ahhh....thanks for the correction. I found THIS:
When he developed AIDS in 1986/87 there were only experimental drugs such as AZT and a couple of others ( I’m aware that there were other equally powerful drugs being tried out at that time , but maybe someone in that branch of the medical profession can explain) which were highly toxic and tended to make things more complicated whilst only buying some time for a short period, and not preventing the eventual death of those with AIDS.

We were in London a year before the pandemic and found Freddi's home "Garden Lodge" where he lived and past away. Mary Austin still lives there.
There was a lovely couple from Japan there also sightseeing, so we had them take our picture standing next to the wall where the door entrance is.
