Queen rumors. true or false?
RyanM84371
I've compiled a short list of rumors regarding Queen or Freddie Mercury.. many
of these have come from Queen fans on other message boards, some from personal
accounts, and others from TV or print. If anyone has heard these before -- can
validate them or put them to rest, I'd be interested to hear from you -
* In the 1980's, Freddie secretly developed a cologne which was actually
produced -- I've heard it described as similar to Drakkar Noir and is only
identified by the letters "FM" on the box.
* Freddie had a relationship with model/singer Samantha Fox. Apparently before
her marriage to boxer Donnie LeLon?
* Queen made a routine of having roast beef sandwiches before every concert.
* Freddie owned an apartment in Central Park NYC directly next to the famous
ice rink.
* On a trip to Africa, Freddie went on a safari in which his caravan was
attacked by a herd of rampaging elephants. Freddie's only defense was throwing
apples at the stampede.
* Freddie loved fencing and once refused to wear the face protection while
sparring. This resulted in a permanent scar on his cheek.
* Freddie had a relationship with Rudolf Nureyev. This story came out after
Freddie's death. Apparently Freddie's publicist denied this, while Nureyev's
people called the rumor "highly plausible." Has anyone heard anything else
about this?
* Freddie was often seen wearing a "Heaven" t-shirt onstage during the early
'80's. Heaven was a club in NYC that Freddie frequented, and one rumor says
that he co-owned the establishment.
* Once while on tour in North America, the band was arrested after a traffic
stop, as the police found marijuana in the vehicle containing the band and
their crew.
* The famous Liza Minelli "We Are The Champions" ending to the Wembley Tribute
concert was not the originally planned ending to the show. Apparently, Roger
Taylor was going to finish the show by singing "A Kind of Magic," but they ran
out of time.
I promise I didn't make any of these up! If I can remember any more
Queen-related stories I've heard, I'll post them. Thanks, Ryan

The Samantha Fox rumor has been around for a while. True or not I
don't know. She did do that little "pure sex pout" (talking about
freddie) on one of the documenteries.
The rest are new to me. Chris

think about this for a second, queen ALWAYS closed with "we are the
champions", WHY would they change for "a kind of magic"?
anyway, you can see the set list handwritten in the "champions of the
world" video, "a kind of magic" is not the last song

>Freddie owned an apartment in Central Park
>NYC directly next to the famous ice rink.
Back in around '85-'86, I saw a guy who looked just like Freddie Mercury
sitting on a bench just outside the park area that is next to the rink.
He was smoking a cigarette, and he gave me a stare with a slight smirk
which made me uncomfortable(Freddie supposedly was an "anything and
everything" type of guy, so that made me uneasy being a straight 15 ear
old at the time ). Anyway, because of that eerie feeling I got, I didn't
look at him too closely. I walked about another 50 feet and turned
around and he was still staring.....crazy huh? Looking back, I always
wondered if it was Freddie? I always just figured Freddie lived in
England, so it probably wasn't him, but hearing this rumour makes me
wonder even more. Now I am curious. Did he have an apartment there? I
really don't regret not trying to talk to him, I don't think I would
have had much to say. OTOH, if it were Brian, it would be another story.
Matt
RAV4
the time? also what was he wearing? do you remember cause that might make or
break it... Freddie was pretty predictable on his casual attire........ Oh Yeah
Yes he did have an apartment in new york..... also when you saw him did you
immediately question whether it was Freddie Mercury or Not?

Anyway, Freddie did have a NY apartment, but spent very little time there,
usually rented it out to friends.
MissDEMISE
think he stayed there though. I read somewhere that an actress named Susannah
York (i think she's british) said that one day she was at a get-together +
freddie was there and told her that she could use the apartment anytime she
liked. She was supposedly really surprised because she barely knew him at all.
BTW -you're lucky to have even seen anyone that looks like freddie. I've
never seen anyone who looks remotely similar to him! MissDEMISE =)
BZ0618
Freddie she was having a child with a man named Piers Cameron, when he saw him
in London, he cursed him out and called him "unholy" because he didn't ask Mary
to marry him when she found out she was pregnant. Some tabloid photographer
took 2 or 3 photos and Freddie quickly got out of there. BZ

I made it clear that these are just rumors, and was hoping to hear if anyone
else had heard them. And nothing that has been said would discredit Freddie.

get to him so I could get an autograph and talk with him.I'm definetly
sure he would have had to have bodyguard's all around him! This makes it
all totally unbelievable that he saw Freddie.Sorry,dude it wasn't
Freddie!
Kai Werner Dathe
I haven't heard of any of these stories. They seem more of a joke, a wierd
"fairy tale" or some kind of "homegrown" philosophy.
I believe You that You want to check wether these stories are true.
But don't forget, that, in criminal law (libel), it's only important that one
spreaded the rumour. Even if he says "it's only a rumour" the penalty is the
same.
You're doing something illegal in any way. I just wanted to explain the
principle.

Apparently you misunderstood my post. I wasn't sure it even was Freddie,
in fact I think I mentioned that I DOUBTED it was Freddie because I
thought he lived in England?
But anyway, whoever it was, this guy was staring and giving me the
*eyes* and I
was only 15 years old and it was New York City! If anything, I looked
young for my age, so that was even more fucked up of him! Maybe you are

Uh....yeah. I relate to, and like Brian's music more than Fred's.......

This guy was *very* close to Freddie. I wonder it if was some one who
knew he had an apartment in the area, and was trying to impersonate him?
That thought occured to me last night...

Deep inside, I don't think it was Freddie either, but like I said, the
guy looked just like him, and I was surprised to find out that he did
have an apartment right in that area. Rav4 also pointed out the security
thing to me in our personal email discussion, and I agree he probably
would have had at least a bodygaurd. I also have seen Yoko Ono in the
park(same area), and she had at least three security guards with her.
When I went to approach, one of her security guards instantly directed
me away. I couldn't even get close(not that I really wanted to). Some
celebrities sneak around alone though. I was on the subway once with
"Lou-Bud-Mellman" who is on lots of TV commercials, and was on "Late
Nite with Dave Letterman" a lot. He was wearing sunglasses, and was
friendly. My ex worked a block away from where JFK Jr. lived, and she
saw him alone. She also saw Robert Deniro alone, who also has an
apartment by her job. When I saw John Paul Jones(from Led Zep) at Irving
Plaza last October, he got out of a yellow taxi, and wasn't protected by
anybody. There was a small guy with him(hardly a bodyguard), but he took
time to sign autographs and BS a bit.

Nothing bad was said about Freddie, other than maybe the band being

Matt
Chris kolenda
with out anyone even guessing who he was. Queen was not that big here
then. Plus put regular clothes on him and he'd probably blend in quite a
bit. He'd looked just like any other guy from the mid-east that lives
there. But did he open his mouth? That would be the giveaway! Plus
If ( and I'm sorry if I ofend anyone) If Freddie was a practicing gay
at the time who's to say he didn't do his crusing. Look at what George
Michael was doing. I can understand why Matt would be a little leary.
I'm female and i he looked at me I'd be leary. This is all speculation
that it was in fact him. and not in any offence to him. Just maybe a
little reality check. Chris
Chris kolenda
supposedly spotted quite often and is quite approachable. Specially in
the bars and strip joints. Lots of people I've chatted with over the
net have seen him at ball gaimes and at concerts (other bands) .

As I gave some examples in another post, there are quite a few other
people who do sneak around alone. Also, those people I mentioned are
"more" famous than Freddie here. The only way anyone would recognize him
would be if they were a Queen fan(which there aren't too many here, if
any?), or they just happened to catch Queen on Live Aid.
>But did he open his mouth?
No, but there was the mustache, and it definitely hinted at over-bite.

Nah, I've never been that lucky! Chris definitely seems approachable. He
seems very down to Earth as well. I could see myself having a good laugh
with him. Although I could see myself reaching if I ran into Rich
instead. Rich seems a bit on the cold side, or at least on the quiet
side?
Matt
BTW: Did you ever get that email I sent you about that show I was at

THE...@webtv.net
everyone. Now, here are my thoughts and all on this subject:
Matt, I have NEVER heard Freddie was an "anykind and everykind" type
person. Don't you think that if Fred had tried anything with someone
under age, fans everywhere(not to mention John, Brian, and Roger) would
have disowned him? Maybe he just realized you recognized him(if it was
him) and was waiting for you to get an autograph. :) Also, did you take
into consideration the date? If it was 1986, Fred might have been too
busy on "The Magic Tour" to be sitting around smoking in Central Park!
Ryan, I have also heard they got stopped for a drug search in either New
Zealand or Aulstralia, but the authorities found none. I know they had
more trouble like this after they played those dates in Africa, as many
held a grudge against them afterwords.

Oh, I have! About three years ago at a carnival in central PA, the
chap that ran the ferris wheel looked JUST like Freddie did around the
time "The Works" was released, AND he even wore star-shaped sunglasses
like Freddie did in the "We Will Rock You" video. I walked up to him
and said "Damnshazaam, you look just like Freddie Mercury." and he
answered (in a non-British accent) "Heh heh heh. Yeah, I get that all
the time." It was neat, especially considering where the carnival was
being held; most people have only heard of Alan Jackson and Garth
Brooks; I was VERY surprised someone else had heard of him there.

Hello, and welcome!

I have an interview where he made a statement something like that. When
asked about his preference, and sexuality, he said "anything and
everything". He also said he "has a very large bed, and it sleeps five."
>Don't you think that if Fred had tried anything

Sure, but I'm not making up what happened. Also, when someone makes
statements like the one he made above, nothing would surprise me, and
that is whether Freddie was kidding, or not when he said it. It makes
him sound depraved. Also, musicians in general, usually do not fit not
the typical definition of being normal, so....

Very true. I can't remember the exact year either, so who knows? At that
time Queen was totally unknown over here. There was NO info on them
what-so-ever. I had no clue the magic tour was even going on in '86. At
least now there is info available through the internet.
Matt
RT
say sure. Not to turn this into a "famous people that give you the
oogies upon meeting them" thread, but I had a similiar encounter with
Jim Carrey in LAX a few years back. I didn't recognize him at first
when I noticed this tall lanky WEIRD looking dude staring at me. I
thought maybe it was someone I had gone to high school with or
something. As I was trying to figure out who he might be, he gave me
that "click your tongue twice,wink and swing your thumb and forefinger"
salute that desperate losers in bars try get attention from
uninterested females. I was completely uninterested and it made my
skin crawl. THEN, I recognized him and felt even creepier. ICK!!!

Not true. If someone is dead, as Freddie most certainly is, all bets are off. I
could print a rumor about the time he shagged my poodle and not get in trouble.
At least in America.
I'm sure he had a place in NYC, but certainly not next to the ice rink. Nobody
lives in Central Park, at least since the irish and blacks were thrown out in
the 1860s so the park could be built.

Phoebe talks about this in his book 'Mister Mercury'. Freddie
apparently often visited NY and would stay in hotels up until he
bought his apartment which was on the 43rd floor (!!) of the Sovereign
Building on East 58th Street (wherever that is; Matt would probably
know). There were stunning views out over the city including the
Empire State and Chrysler Buildings and the World Trade Centre, and
seven different bridges were visible from the apartment. They were
able to watch the hundredth anniversary celebrations of Brooklyn
Bridge out of a bedroom window.
Incidentally the paperback version of Phoebe's book should be out 'in
the first part of 2000 in most countries' and will be published by
Omnibus Press.

OK, that would be on the south east side of the park. My encounter,
happened on the south west side, and a few blocks north closer to the
Dakota hotel or Strawberry Fields; so it's probably safe to say that it
wasn't Freddie I saw<phew>!
>There were stunning views out over the city

That really is a great area to get a view from, particularly of the two
buildings you just mentioned. It's located right in the center of the
city.

is they made there mark earlier and by then were considered a supergroup
from the 70's.And as i understand Mr.George Michael had been wearing
disguises as he frequented the park area.So,therefore Freddie would have
been mobbed by fan's and would have to have had bodyguard's all around
him! Also if anybody has the book "Mercury and Me".It is by Jim Hutton
and he was with Freddie during all of 85 and 86.In the book it tell's
everywhere Freddie went during this time.And he never went to America in
85 or 86! It wasn't Freddie!

Bodyguard's.I'm sorry but i don't believe that for a second.Firstly
Freddie had a bodyguard who he trusted ..who had been his bodyguard
since the 70's.This man went everywhere with Freddie and never let him
out of his sight.The man's name is Terry Giddings! He would be with
Freddie everywhere even in the Gay Bar's.That's why I don't believe all
these people claiming falsely of course of seeing Freddie.Didn't you
notice other people in the bar? Anybody near him could have been his
bodyguard! You don't know.

in many towns it's where the action is : in Sydney, for instance, in the
early 90s they had to stipulate they didnt want gay's to bring their
straight 'girlfriends' (faghags is the expletive term) because that made the
gay party 50% straight. then again other gay bars are totally s+m and i

*I* didn't say it was fiction, members of the Queen organization have said so.
Want to see the press clippings? Maybe they just said that out of bitterness
or something, but it *was* said.
Phoebe often changes his mind, it seems, in matters Queen-related. A group of
us once entertained him at one of the OIQFC conventions ("free booze? I'm
there!"), and at the time he said that Jim Hutton's book was "bullocks", etc.
Maybe it was just the liquor talking, but that's what was said at the time.
