Merthyr Imp 729 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Didn't his parents live somewhere in the Westdale Lane area in comparatively recent times? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Think his Mum lives on Plains Road, opposite Miners Welfare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Is it his Mum or Aunt, Lizzie? You've got me thinking now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 His mum was certainly still living in Nottingham a couple of years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OrphanAnnie 296 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Twenty four years - that's almost a quarter of a century (Maths always my good subject!), where did that go to? RIP Freddie, an absolutely brilliant performer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 His mum lives/lived exactly where LizzieM suggested and I believe his sister too. The last time I saw his mum she was a very frail old lady and that was 3 years ago. The Queen tribute band Mercury play at the ex-miners welfare every year at her request and she always makes the short journey to see them. The last time I spoke to her she told me she can close her eyes and see Freddie although she did not call him by that name. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 He gave me the creeps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I just love it when, after members have been lauding someone, saying how great, wonderful, terrific, none better, there will never be another like him. someone posts 'He gave me the creeps'. Just wonderful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks Chulla, I can always be relied on to bring people down to earth and give an unbiased and realistic view on everything. LOL He did give me the creeps. A workmate once lent me two DVD's of Queen and FM''s remarks to the audience and his lurid comments and motions made me vomit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeestonMick 263 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 He gave me the creeps. And me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
