I am not ashamed to admit that the day he died was among the worst days of my life. Having been a fan since '73, it really was like losing a friend. However, whereas friends leave only memories as legacies, we do have the music and many a day will find me in a 'Queen' mood where i play all the CDs, one after another as i go about my daily business.
When my eldest Bro told me that Freddie had passed away I was in disbelief even though most knew it was coming, it wasn't until I put the radio on and all the dedications were coming in that it sunk in and and welled up big time.
As for Bohemian Rhapsody I went to see it at the Cinema with my Youngest Bro... a Queen fan obviously influenced by myself... but made a promise I'd wait until he came back from America before going to see it. Only a week and half after its release though but well worth the wait.

Do you know, and i don't mean any offence here, i had both you two (ummmm and Arky), down as being older than you have recently revealed - i was 18 when i first heard Freddie's vocal chords in action. If i remember rightly, Arky, there was lots of newspaper speculation that Freddie had Aids - something which we fans sincerely hoped wasn't true. Then he admitted it and he died a day later.
As for influencing people; obviously i have played my Queen music throughout the upbringing of my 4 children who, apart from my youngest, used to hate it. They, of course, preferred the poetic lyrics of songs such as Ride On Time, etc, etc :-) However, all 4 now watch anything and everything connected to Queen. I do believe they've all grown up - musically at least :-)
