Queen’s Brian May remembers Freddie Mercury’s final days: “I never ever saw him cry”
Queen‘s Brian May has opened up about Freddie Mercury‘s last days and reflected on how he “never ever saw him cry”.
Brian May appeared in a new interview with AXS TV and discussed the band’s legacy and how the group essentially gave it up after the passing of the iconic frontman.
“We’d always said that if one of us goes, that’s it. So Roger and I both went out kind of grieving to the max and saying it’s over, we don’t even want to talk about it for quite a long time,” the guitarist shared.
He then spoke about Freddie Mercury and what he was like during his final days. “We made the last album, the ‘Made In Heaven’ album with the tracks that Freddie had left us to play with and it became a real labor of love because he left some lovely little bits and pieces.”
“He was very undramatic about it,” May shared, adding:
“I never ever saw him cry or go you know self-pity. He never did that, he was like ‘Let’ just do it, lets keep doing stuff. Freddy was always inspiring. If he was here now, we’d be doing what we always do I’m sure.”
May also discussed Adam Lambert’s role within the band and added that the singer always provides a fresh view on things and is not afraid to be vocal about things they should try.
“The songs are not fossils, they’re alive and evolving with Adam which is great. Sometimes he blows my mind,” May said.
