A very talented and versatile person, he was!

Yeah, I almost missed this anniversary yesterday. He's a massive influence on my view of music growing up - Queen was my favourite band all through my teenage years (and the only reason I don't listen to it as much today is because all their songs are pretty much implanted in my brain - I can hear them by just thinking of them

).

The world will always miss you, Freddie!

Not one Queen song played on the local radio station until someone phoned them and reminded them

Well I never. I've got mixed feelings about Queen...I love their music and their work but it's tainted with some bad memories. I should really just focus on putting those to one side and enjoying the awesome.

Wembley 1986, I wish I could have been there, but alas I was only 2 at the time.
