Freddie Mercury's friends find it hard to watch THIS beautiful heartbreaking moment

His loss was devastating for family, friends and fans. But Freddie lives on in his extraordinary music and the wealth of video footage, including rarely seen home videos. The movie Bohemian Rhapsody established an extraordinary phenomenon where we were all able to remember Freddie with equal joy and sadness. However, one of his closest friends reveals there is still one of Freddie’s clips that remains very difficult to watch – even though it is a beautiful moment. And it’s not Live Aid or even Freddie singing Love of My Life.

A new documentary on Channel 5, Freddie Mercury A Christmas Story, spoke to some of Freddie’s inner circle.

These were the close friends who were at Freddie’s side during his final years.

Close friend and driver Gordon Dalziel says: “Freddie just wanted to make music. Keep going, keep going, record, record, record. To the bitter end.”

The video for These Are The Days of Our Lives isn’t just the last proper video Freddie ever completed. It also contains the incredibly powerful moment at the end.

Freddie lost his battle with AIDS on November 24, 1991.

Dalziel is clearly emotional as he remembers hearing the news his friend had died. “I was at home. It was hard. Thinking about it brings it back. It’s still heartbreaking. He was such a great guy.”

Peter Hince says; “I went to the kitchen and got a bottle of vodka, his favourite vodka, poured a large shot and just knocked it back and said, ‘That’s for you, Fred.”

Wayne Sleep said: “I just went numb. I couldn’t take it in, really, because he was so young. But I don’t think of him as gone and dead. I think of his spirit lingering over us.”
