| Good GOD man, how can one opinion born out of nothing be so strong? Am I to understand you're not overly familiar with Made in Heaven? There are easier ways of making a buck I must say. Furthermore -- Freddie dies, so all recordings that have been made but unreleased must also contract AIDS and die alongside him? Brian May and Roger Taylor must put away their instruments and shut up? But whatevs This is largely a predictable argument that could be had about any number of bands / musicians from the history of music. So let's agree to disagree unless we have something interesting to add to the already incredibly well worn path. :o) > > I don't know why I mixed the 80s/90s thing up but > anyway... :S > > Freddy died after "Innuendo" and the band was over.
