Apparently, it took quite a while to make the video because Freddie had to have regular breaks. The look into the camera at the end says it all, goodbye. It still brings a lump to the throat all these years later.

This song was written by Roger Taylor, the drummer mostly about his life and his children. With the circumstances behind Freddie’s illness and his prognosis, they decided to do it with Freddie. It is a beautiful, but sad song. It was the last video with Freddie performing with the band. His was very ill, but still could manage to perform and belt out some of his most powerful lyrics....only months before his death. At the end he says his own “Goodbye” when he says, “ I Still Love You.” What a brave, strong and courageous man he was. Enjoy♥️

Freddie was very sick in this. He could barely stand. Part of his foot was almost gone. He went partially blind in the end. It was horrible. This was his goodbye to us

And here I am a puddle of tears, this video always hurts me to see Freddie so frail and yet so brave and as always as he says "I still love you," I reply, "I love you too."

Freddie was still so beautiful here, with a more ethereal look than before he got sick. His voice was still so strong, and his courage was amazing. He was in a lot of pain. He had to wear loose clothes with soft layers underneath because his skin hurt. And one foot was in such bad condition he could hardly walk. If you watch the making of this video you will notice that. There's a version in color where you can see that a lot of makeup was used to cover the Kaposi's sarcoma scars on his face. This was such a bitter-sweet farewell. I think the song was not written for this occasion, but it is certainly fitting.

Oh....too soon.This is a tear jerker.This was Freddies last video. He wanted to perform til the end.

FM was terribly suffering during this video... As said hundred times , he had to spend hours to make up..One of his feet was completly rotten, he was incredibly brave to make it

For those of us who grew up with Queen and Freddie Mercury this video was difficult to watch at the time because we knew he was dying. A few more years and he might have still been with us. Thank you for posting this.

Freddie’s maid made the waistcoat he wore here with his beloved cats on. He was so brave, an absolute legend! Rest in paradise Freddie 🙏❤️

Freddie wanted to work right up to the end. One of the things he asked the others to do was keep writing words for him to sing and this they did. His last song he ever recorded with Queen was called Mother Love and Brian said that he was so sick then that he had to prop himself up to sing. Brian said they recorded the first verse and chorus with Freddie and he asked Freddie before hand if he thought he could handle it. After the first verse Freddie said he needed to go home and rest and he would come back to finish but he never made it back so Brian finished it for him so Brian's voice is on the second verse. So sad but Freddie was Freddie right to the end. Another song they recorded late in his sickness was, The Show Must Go On and Brian asked Freddie if he was ok to do it and Freddie drank down some Vodka and said "Darling i'll do it" and sang it in one take. If you listen to it you would never believe a person as sick as Freddie was then could have such a powerful accurate voice. He was truly amazing and will forever be loved and missed.

This is a very sad song but even so it is full of life. It is not a dirge. It is Queen.

This song is beautiful Freddie was brave to do the video. John Deacon retired in 1997

Freddie lived to sing, and his God-blessed voice lasted much longer than seems human.

Love this song, very emotional every time I hear it. It was shot in black and white because he wanted to hide how sick he really was. But you can see colour videos on KZfaq of the filming

That was Freddie he made his exit in brave and beautiful way in the only way he could through music and said farewell to his Fans that dearly love him and will to the end , Freddie will never be forgotten , we miss you each and every single day Freddie

This song written is by Rodger Taylor. Bass man John Deacon retired soon after Freddie's death. They were close.

Beautiful song ,so sad ,they wrote a song called mother love but Freddie was to sick to finish it ,so Brian sang the last verse ,Freddie's voice was still beautiful considering he was so I ,thanks ,from Liverpool UK

Beautiful! Its so good to see your Queen reactions! I love how Freddie just wore his heart on his sleeves and his waistcoat for this video, that he expressed that not only was he a superb artist, but also what a loving person he was. Though he didn't have any children of his own, he really loved cats and was such a devoted cat daddy any animal lover would be proud of. The vest he's wearing has pictures of his beloved fur babies. Brian, John, and Roger (fyi played the conga drums) are doing their best to keep a stiff upper lip. Imagine how that must of just ate at them inside to watch him waste away. Freddie was really like a brother to them, not just their frontman and bandmate. Even now, the bond they shared with Freddie is so strong, not even death could break it! Regarding Adam Lambert, I generally think he fits Queen like a glove! He completely honor's Freddie's memory (during concerts he gave a regular speech of how he's not Freddie, Freddie is the only true rock god, he's not a replacement, he's just a fan like everyone else), Adam does a wonderful job carrying on the torch, Adam has got the vocal chops, stage presence and his chemistry with Brian and Roger is just infectiously electric! Of course, Brian and Roger are in no danger whatsoever of loosing their skills! In fact, on top of Brian calling Adam the GFG (Gift from God), he and Roger started calling Adam their “slightly younger brother” during last summer’s rhapsody tour. To really get at the heart of the band, three documentaries I highly recommend (not necessarily to react to) are "The days of our lives"-kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrljibSlnKy9d6c.html "The show must go on-the Queen+Adam Lambert story" drive.google.com/file/d/1xdLjOiVQPKLWNcccW1hTVmPjGDwXuLSw/view which continues right where "The days of our lives" documentary left off and "Freddie Mercury The untold story" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrepe614zbG4e4E.html enjoy.

Watch 'Only The Good Die Young' which Brian, Roger and John did in memory of Freddie.

You could definitely turn this channel into a Queen channel, lots of material for sure. Yes this song was from the Innuendo album. You should definitely check out Innuendo.

There was one more album after he died. They used his final work and finished it off. Mother love is his last song he sang on, he dies before the vocals were done so Brian finished it off. If you react, react to the lyric video not the official video. As mentioned the song they did after he died was 'One by one (only the good die young). Fun fact about days of our lives video, Brian wasn't there, he was added later.

Their last album with Freddie was Made in Heaven released after he died around 95. John retired in 97. They haven't written any new songs sings. They tour with Adam singing the songs. This really was Freddie's last goodbye. Written by Roger Taylor. Their very last video together. Freddie was very Ill here. He was limping and had to wear loose clothing due to anything on his skin being irritating to his skin.

He is getting close to death at this point. Isn't it heartbreaking to see him this way. Still it's gives me a great deal of strength in my life to see how he carries on while so clearly suffering.

This is hard to listen to knowing how sick Freddie was, but demonstrates his bravery and determination to give his fans a goodbye. In the same album, he wrote and dedicated a song to his favorite cat Delilah. Freddie never lost his sense of playfulness and humor.

This video was made about 6 mo. before Freddie died. He was so sick, but he still sounded wonderful. Roger (the drummer) wrote this song. John (Bass player) is the one who retired. Love this video.

John Deacon the bassist, was the band member who retired after Freddie died. He said there could never be another Freddie, and he lost the heart for it. Adam Lambert is very talented, and he’s allowing Brian and Roger to continue doing what they love, which is touring. I saw them in February and they were absolutely phenomenal! But no, there can never be another Freddie.

Freddie ´s last video, , farewell with his fans. Look at his vest with pictures of his cute cats

I'm so glad he shared his music with us all who grew up with his music through the years. R.I.P Freddie your music is a constant reminder what a phenomenal singer/ performer you was..

As sick and as thin as he was, he was still a stunningly beautiful man.

John Deacon couldn't face being in the music industry without Freddie, they were the best of friends. Tears are flowing. The last album was Made In heaven that they made during Freddies last few months.

I can give you a thought, its my thought but I will put my 2 cents in. I saw Queen in 1982 with Freddie - yes it was excellent, it was the Hot Space tour, and so alot of the songs were new to us, and of course they played their standards, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, BohRhap, so it was fresh. flash ahead 32 years to 2014 and I saw Queen and Adam Lambert. again amazing concert - same songs as 1982 - no Freddie. However, Adam never claimed to be Freddie, and he says so, but what is good is that he is bringing the Queen music to a whole new generation. it was amazing to see teenagers, some with parents, some with friends, rocking to the music I was rocking to when I was their age. so do I ignore the fact that Adam is with the band? No not at all. its great to see the new generation listening and liking Queen.

He was very sick here, there is a “Making of” of this video in colour that pushes you back a bit. Imagine that this is only 8 years after the interview you just posted.

Freddie, my angel, was still soooo beautiful, even here.

Freddie was so I'll in this, the other video he looked so poorly in was "Headlong" but Freddie was still exuding energy. I personally believe Freddie wanted a swansong for his fans and this was it, most people would be laid up in bed but no, the guy had to perform which was him to a tee.

This is the last music video with Freddie, this song was released after Freddie had passedthis is Freddie's goodbye to his fans and his last words in this song to his fans were I Still love you.

Yes, way too soon....but too late now. John Deacon (bass player) retired after the Freddie Tribute concert....well, actually he retired after the remaining 3 members did “No One But You/Only the Good Die Young”

This was the last video Freddie made, and he could barely stand. It was his final goodbye to us his fans.

Great reaction. Love the song but very rarely listen to it. It wasn't meant to be about Freddie but boy, does it ever apply. It's painful to hear and even more painful to watch. Yeah, AIDS ravaged him and left him incredibly sickly and in pain. This was actually his last video appearance. That final "I still love you" was a direct last message to all his fans. Even then, he was still thinking about us and trying to leave behind music that would live on. For a little pick-me-up from around the same time period, react to Headlong. Freddie's very sick (it was filmed in October and November of 1990 - he passed in November 91) but him and the guys are having an absolute blast. It's nice seeing them have fun together now knowing what's to come.

Hi Fabian, I’m just now going through your Queen playlist and love your reactions so far. In this one, you mentioned that you knew Adam Lambert was playing with the band and you were curious about the time after Freddie passed and when Adam started collaborating with them. There is a documentary on Netflix called The Show Must Go On that covers the time after Freddie passed and how they kept Queen relevant. John retired, Brian and Roger eventually learned about Adam Lambert and they are selling out stadiums that they did 40 years ago. I know people have strong opinions about Adam Lambert and he is the first to say that he’s not Freddie. But Brian and Roger asked him to sing Queen songs. And since they are selling out stadiums, there are still people who want to hear these songs. I’m happy for Brian and Roger because they are enjoying being able to tour and play these songs. In the documentary, Brian thanks Adam Lambert because if not for him, they’d all be home and he’s thankful to be able to be on stage again. You should check out that documentary.

This album was such bitter sweet at the time. Nobody really knew how sick Freddie really was. When it first arrived it was the comeback we'd been waiting for but soon realised it might be their last album.

This song was first released early September ‘91, Freddie left us less than 2 months later 24th November that year. The track was re-released as a double A side with Bohemian Rhapsody in December and went to number 1 in virtually every music chart globally RIP Freddie, we still love you xx

John the bass player retired he couldn't do it without Freddie.

Yeah, he had a pound of face makeup on that took 2 hours for the makeup artist to cover his facial lesions from AIDS. He was wearing two pairs of pants to try and look less skeletal...as he was only skin and bone by this point. He had a foot infection and leg issue from the disease and was limping horribly at this time. He was dying....and passed away less than 10 months after this video was made.

It was his farewell, I love you and thank you to the fans.

After all these years, i still can't watch that video without having tears in my eyes 😢 That last shot gets me every time. They where a huge part of my childhood, and that dreaded day on November 91 really hit me hard... 😢 I think anyone who has grown up with Queen through the 80's will feel the same way...

When Freddie says "I still love you" while smiling, every person involved with the band says that is when he was saying goodbye to the fans

This was his last performance ever. He had to really push himself to do this. But that was him. A fighter till the end. RIP Freddie. A legend.

That guitar solo is so haunting - beautiful song.

Miss you Freddie, rest your beautiful soul. You showed so much courage to record this so bravely. RIP and bless you.

Hi Fabian, I recently found your channel as I was watching Queen reactions. I’m a long time fan and I love seeing new people discover queen and go down the rabbit hole as you have. I have been following your playlist And got to this video. I know I’m a couple years late and you have learned a lot about this time in Freddie’s life. I recently saw a documentary where Brian May the guitarist said that Freddie would Ask him to just write lyrics and he would sing them because he wanted to get as much recorded as he could before he passed and then told the other guys to put it together afterwards. At one point Freddie was singing and had to stop before the last lyrics of the song and said that he would come back to finish it but he never did. I don’t know the name of this song but Brian had to sing the final lyric. In this reaction you were asking about what the band did after Freddie died and when Adam Lambert started singing with them. There is a documentary called the show must go on with Brian and Roger which is kind of a timeline.from then until now and the fact that they are very happy to visit arenas 40 years later and play classic Queen songs for old and new fans. The documentary is on Netflix or you can watch it on KZfaq. I have enclosed the links below. I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your playlist. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brB8gJtnq928hXU.html part 1 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/it6HY7Weq9CrmXk.html part 2

Good reaction, you were clever enough to almost put things together. As most comments mentioned this was Freddie's last video. As for the replacement singers, I do have problem with them, they mostly sound empty and soulless. Most singers who sings covers of Queen songs, along with Adam Lambert, are all very technically trained singers. Freddie sometimes had a bit of an operatic style to his singing, but his roots always lay in the blues and soulful singers. He loved Aertha Franklin, Robert Plant and Jimi Hendrix. As I said, he did not always sing with soul, but he sometimes did, he did have soul. Rock groups from the 50's - 90's, were based on the blues, rock has a lot of blues licks they are often just played faster or a bit modified. I was actually just having a discussion about this with some Dimash fans, Adam Lambert falls into this same category, they even sound extremely similar at times. These singers had years of vocal training, they are not fans of the blues or any type of soulful singing. Yes, they are extremely talented and they can sing a lot of high notes, but they don't really have any soul. They do a good job, but when you sing classic rock it is something different, it was originally written or performed with blues and some soulfulness. (I am not saying they were Ray Charles or something, but they did have some soul and real emotion). I do like classical styles of singing as well, I am not saying these people are bad singers. But I guess I just love more of an bluesy style, when it comes to singing rock. I like blues as well, in the blues people sing about their experiences in live. Sometimes you can't describe blues music as being pretty, but the music had real meaning and artists value. It is music for grown-ups. Adam Lambert is not a rock singer, he truly does a good job on power ballads, but he does not perform rock songs well. Because he is such a technical singer, he sings in a lot of head voice which sounds thin, and he doesn't have any grit. An untrained singer like Freddie basically just belted everything out in a powerful manner, and that is really how you sing rock. You are basically belting out what you are feeling in that moment. Rock comes from the blues, so there was a lot of improvisation and spontaneity during live rock concerts in the 70's, 80's and the 90's. These days you don't see much of that. Adam Lambert has done a lot of musical theater, he tends to act songs out. He is never going to lose himself in the music, he just does not have such a strong connection to the music. He does not have a lot subtlety, he is never going to sing something like The White Queen, You Take My Breath Away or My Melancholy Blues from Queen and a few others. It goes without saying that he doesn't have as much charisma as Freddie. That being said, Freddie is a difficult person to replace. A lot of Queen fans such as myself included, are very picky about the subject. I do want to see Brian May and Roger Taylor keep on touring, but I believe they should be doing it under a different name. It is not really Queen anymore without Freddie and John. That is why John Deacon retired, he said there was no point in continuing with the band if Freddie wasn't there. If they were touring and performing under a different name, people wouldn't care that much. They are now basically like a tribute band of themselves. They first toured with Paul Rodgers in the 2000's, that was more acceptable to people because Paul Rodgers is a legend in his own right. They did release a new album The Cosmos Rocks, with Paul Rodgers. The album was a big flop, there was one or two good songs but people just didn't really like it. Since that one album in 2008 they have never tried to produce any new music. This is what Roger Taylor has said about the subject: Does Mercury’s loss, though, necessarily weaken any music Queen make in the future? *“Well, you’re missing your best and prime songwriter,” Taylor says. “We could all write songs, but Freddie was born to it. He constantly surprised us. I still don’t know where some of his lyrics came from, they’re so clever, almost Cole Porter-ish at times. Or like when he was writing all that slightly Tolkien-esque, proggy stuff. I never saw Freddie read a book, but he must have been a great black hole of information. That’s why Brian and I haven’t made more new music since he died, because we know we wouldn’t bring the full arsenal that we had to the table."* All of the members from Queen had their role to play, but Freddie was really the driving force behind the band.

He was in great pain but a showman to the end not written for him but fitted so well his farewell. It blew us away at the time that final I still love you.

This was my 1st dance song at my wedding. I also used used a section from Bohemian Rhapsody as my senior HS quote. Just a little obsessed 🤭

Fun fact. Freddie's vest is pictures of all his cats. He was a huge cat fan and even wrote a song (on this album) about his favorite cat Delilah.

Freddie had lived a thousand lives at the time of his death, he didn’t waste a single second

There is another version of the video, where, right at the end, where he whispers "I still love you", then does a sort of cross the face wave, as if he was waving goodbye to everyone.

Please react to No one But You

If you've not listened to it yet, try "Mother Love". Whilst "Days of Our Lives" was the final appearance of Freddie on video, "Mother Love" was his final vocal recording. He was unable to complete the song, so Brian sings the final verse. VERY moving!

There will never ever be another performer ever like Freddie Mercury. Not even any artist today.

Thank you for this.

Freddie was close to death here and in a lot of pain. According to Brian, Freddie was very weak and would tire very quickly and Freddie would take a shot of vodka and hold himself up on a monitor and say lets do this! He was missing part of his foot because of the disease and had a visible limp. The man was strong willed and just wanted to record as much as he could before he died. So very sad!!!!!! He recorded his voice on a few more songs but this was the last one he appeared in. His last recorded song was Mother Love, another beautiful song. If you review that do the lyric video as the other one some film students did as a project! Roger wrote this song about his family and missing his kids but it just fits as a farewell from Freddie as well.

He will forever be the man w the best voice and lyrics I think.I have all the books cds and even my back ground to my phone.I listen to him in any mood BC her does it all.my greatest of all time

This video always makes me cry. Freddy is so thin and this is the last time he performed. He worked almost till the day he died.

He needed a reason to get up in the morning, so made these videos. This song has a lot of meaning for me because it was played at my husbands funeral 14 years ago..

A Queen Channel? Hell yeah!!

Freddies last words on camera were " i still love you"

Together wrote it for his kids but Freddie sang it when he only had mon th hs left a d it reminds you of his life.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

It was not wise to come listen to this the same day that my grandmother died of cancer. She was the best and first relative of mine who took piece of my heart with her. I miss her so much.

It's a mercy that his illness didn't affect his voice.

New subscriber here. I really enjoy your reactions. I love this song and it always makes me cry. I am a massive Queen fan but I enjoy watching Brian and Roger perform with Adam Lambert. There is so much chemistry between all of them. Is it the same as Queen with Freddie no of course not but that wouldn't be possible. Freddie was one in a million. Adam brings his own gifts and talent to the Queen catalogue, There is a video of this song from the tour Brian Roger and Adam did in Japan in 2014 Roger sings the lead part and his son Rufus is on drums and it gives the song an extra emotional twist. Check it out and see what you think.

Thank you for more Queen, your awesome.

This was recorded five months before Freddie died and it was his last. Roger Taylor wrote it for his kids but it was the perfect goodbye for Freddie.

Queen died in 1991 and was buried in 1997.

Freddie song and they made this video 30.05.91.......Freddie died 24.11.91 😭🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️

Brian and Roger wanted to keep playing but to me Queen died with Freddie. I mean Adam can sing I just feel like they are trying to replace him. I just will stick to my original members or Queen.

Those are pictures of Freddie's cats on his vest. Each one had it's own bedroom.

Actually they recorded about 20 albums from the 70s until the 90s is highly unlikely you would run out of Queen material they have a massive catalog

The bass gaitar

The video was shot in black and white, coz Freddie was so ill, the band thought it would help to mask how ill he was if it wasnt in colour, RIP Freddie, such a sad loss to Rock music ❤️❤️

Freddie sounds better than some of the artists today and he was dying. That’s crazy. RIP Freddie Mercury. Freddie Mercury was a huge influence on people and to hear the news of his passing saddened many people. Innuendo, The Show Must Go On, Ride The Wild Wind, I’m Going Slightly Mad, Bijou, are some other great songs from this album. This whole albums is great. This was their last album before Freddie died, Freddie recorded some materiel before he died, that they used on their next album, Made In Heaven that was released in 1995. Freddie unfortunately got sick with AIDS. There was no cure back then and there still isn’t. So sad.

Freddie forever Eternity Voice Legendary Broken my Heart video.

This was his good bye song to everyone because he was only a few months away from death

His final song was mother love, it’s on their final album made in heaven. He never completed it, Brian finished singing the song. Hearing that song always sends chills down my spine. Check it out some time.

Makes me just want to reach in the video and bring him back to life.

The band member who retired was John Deacon he couldn’t go on after Freddie died

I’m going to see Queen with Adam next summer. He’s not trying to replace Freddie because he was irreplaceable, but he honours Freddie. I’ll be in the presence of Brian and Roger so I’m happy.

John Deacon left he was devastated about Freddie and thought the band shouldn’t go on

Ya he died unfortunately after this video it was really the last days of his life I believe it was 2 days after filming we will always love the master of rock R.I.P our friend ❤

This was their last Music Video they did with Freddie. Freddie wanted to say a last ''goodbye'' in a Video and he didn't want to be remembered as a Cartoon Character (cartoon character because the music video to Innuendo was full of art) So then in the end of this music video as you saw, Freddie said *_I still Love you._* What an Great Man. Adam wasn't thought of as an replacement for Freddie They just tour with him as a Lead singer. And the band member that retired in 1997 was John Deacon the Bassist. Also a random fact, Freddie did grow himself a Stubble beard again after this Video. As someone already mentioned you reacted to this much too soon.

It was his last ever video, no one in the band wanted to do it as freddie was literally at deaths door and it hurt him immensely to do the video

Браво💝💝💝☺

Brian was absent from filming the video with the rest of the boys and had to be edited in.

It was the final video he was seen in. It was about 6 months before he passed. Having AIDS was such a stigma then. He still is the best performer to ever live. I was there. Brian May is an amazing guitarist but he never is recognized as that. It was Freddies' way of saying goodbye and thanking everyone. It still gets me all these years later.

Being a queen fan since the 70s no one could ever replace Freddie Mercury minions trite as far as Adam Lambert he does the best he can he makes it clear he is not replacing Freddy he keeps the music alive they still only do the songs that were written when Freddie was alive handwriting music and Performing those songs they have not released anything since Freddy's death except for the tribute song with John Brian and Rodger Only the Good Die Young which was wet after Freddie died Those Were the Days of Our Lives is Freddy's Goodbye song to The fans he looks directly and the camera and tells them goodbye his last time ever being filmed his laugh videos it makes me cry every time when he says those days are all gone now the face death straight in the eye as he did he was very brave you have to remember this was in the last 80s and very early 90s when AIDS was a death sentence and had a lot of stigma behind it

Nobody will replace Freddy Mercury I'm pretty sure that it was John queen isn't queen anymore it died when Freddy Mercury did

I find it hard to listen to this song but it's still amazing when I do. Could you react to the show must go on by Queen please it's my favourite Queen song ever

What a lot of ppl don’t know is Freddie’s leg was amputated because of an infection from the legisionon his leg

John Deacon "Deaky"

Think about this my brother, Freddie died of AIDS in November 1991 and Magic Johnson announces he has HIV in November 1991.

This was the last video he filmed before he died.
