by Jake Massey

 

 

The remarkable life of Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury, has been under the spotlight of late following the release of the biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody.

 

But on World AIDS day, it is a fitting time to reflect on the musical icon's life offstage and his courageous battle with the disease that ultimately killed him.

 

In a section from Elton John's book, Love is the Cure: On Life, Loss and the End of AIDS, the Rocketman shares a personal account of Mercury's diagnosis, deterioration and eventual death.

 

The story serves as a striking reminder of both the loving and warm nature of the man, and also the horrific suffering caused by HIV and AIDS.

Elton John....A Truly Great Humanitarian.....He and Elizabeth Taylor were working amongst people with AIDs long before that over rated ex 2nd class movie actor who became President of the USA would even acknowledge there was such a disease...

I will forever be grateful for The Earl's addiction to gambling, which left only time to create the first sandwich; a form of nourishment he could satisfy himself with at a gambling table.  What a guy.
