He kinda …. died. Because he refused to take his AIDS meds. And John Deacon left the band once Freddie died. I don't think it's fair for the rest of the band to stop doing their music because of that.

Just adding my two 0.02 Queen cents.

Just an FYI when Freddie died anti H.I.V meds would have made little difference. The protease inhibitors that could have did not come along until 5 years or so after he passed.

I know that. I read many books about the band and Freddie, even Jim Hutton's book. But he could have lived a little longer if he had taken his pain meds.
He didn't want any meds that would compromise his musical vision and legacy.
