We don’t want to become old, rich and useless

No one really knew Freddie. He was shy, gentle and kind. He wasn't the person he put over on stage.

After people like Lennon and Dylan, I think David Bowie brought a very modernistic intelligence and the necessity for change. I think he was completely positive, certainly through one and a half decades of completely overriding influence, in the best of popular music, and I take my bloody hat off to him!

Sometimes the problem is not the people in the band, but the people around the band.

It's a nonstop schedule, really. I had lost myself somewhere.

When you're in a band that's so big when you're young, you kind of lose your identity a little bit. You just become part of the band. I just needed to get away from it.
