Following the enormous conjecture in the press over the last two weeks, I wish to confirm that I have been tested HIV positive and have AIDS. I felt it correct to keep this information private to date to protect the privacy of those around me. However, the time has come now for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth and I hope that everyone will join with my doctor and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease.
Freddie MercuryI don't talk to everybody, so they don't really know the real me. I don't think anybody will.
Freddie MercuryCan you imagine how terrible it is when you've got everything and you're still desperately lonely? That is awful beyond words.
Freddie MercuryI'm a very emotional person, a person of real extremes, and that's often destructive both to myself and others.

Freddie MercuryI am a romantic, but I do put up a barrier around myself, so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me. I fall in love much too quickly and that results in me getting badly hurt. The problem with love is that you lose control and that is a very vulnerable state to be in. I would love to really have a beautiful relationship with somebody, but it never seems to work out. What I would like most of all is to be in a state of blissful love.
