Freddie Mercury's last words to the public " I still love you". We'll never stop loving you.😢😢😢

There's a reason they filmed this in B&W. Watch the color footage. You can see how sick Freddie was. NONE of the band is smiling in this. They KNEW. But the most heartbreaking thing? As sick and in pain as he was, Freddie's smile at that last "I still love you". That's Freddie saying "I know, loves. But life goes on. Be your best selves".

The video was filmed in May 1991, and it was the last music video Freddie Mercury did before he passed away in November later that year.

The way Freddie looks into the camera and whispers "I still love you" was a direct message to the fans. They knew. Freddie used to say these words to the audience, in the middle of the song "Love Of My Life". Usually pointing at them. After all these years, it's still hard to watch this video. It must have been a hell of a job, for Freddie, and for the others too, to make this video. In a making of video you can see Dave Clark (of The Dave Clark Five) behind the scenes. He supported his good friend Freddie.

True!!

After rumours persisted about Freddie's health, the video was filmed and released in black-and-white to hide the full extent of his illness. In the video, Freddie is seen wearing a waistcoat featuring pictures of cats, that was made for him by Queen costume designer Diana Moseley. In the video's most emotional part, Freddie gives fans and loved ones a final farewell, by looking straight at the camera as the song ends. Freddie whispers "I still love you", which are his last words on camera. Video director Dolezal had been told to keep things quick due to Mercury's ailing health, but before shooting finished, Freddie requested one more take for the last lyrics of the song ("Those days are gone now but one thing's still true / When I look and I find I still love you"). Dolezal said: "In these last few seconds of that song, he gives us a résumé of his whole life: 'I was a big superstar, but don't take it too seriously.' And then, 'I still love you,' which is to the fans. Then he walks out of life. Even in his last moments, he planned his exit artistically. That's how he wanted it to be."

Hi Jay and Amber, This video was actually shot in May 1991, but not released until September 1991, Freddie passed away 2 months later aged 45, the last " I still love you" was for us fans, the song is from their 1991 album Innuendo!! 😀 😀 RIP Freddie 🙏 🙏

Although it was written by drummer Roger Taylor, many have adopted this as Freddie's swan song. I'm happy to have seen Queen in 1978. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to in my whole life! Although this is a beautiful song, many can't help but shed a tear when they hear it. When he looked at the camera at the end and said I still love you, most people took that for goodbye.

I've just commented the same thing. So heartbreaking. If you didn't know any better, you would never think he only had weeks/days to live. 😢

His waistcoat has a painting of his favourite cat Delilah on it. Freddie wrote a song named after the cat and used to speak to his cats on the phone when touring.

I have always thought he was singing about himself with "I Want to Live Forever".

I can't hear this song without tearing up. It was released after Freddie's death which is what he wanted. Partly due to fact he was so ill and his last gift to the fans. I'm a 70's baby so I missed the early years of Queen and only found them around the time of Live Aid concert. What a gift to music he was. God bless him.

I always considered this video Freddie's official goodbye to his fans. It's always very emotional to watch especially when he says "I still love you" at the end and seems to be talking directly to his fans. His vocal performance at a time when he was so ill is astounding. Amazing.

Remember this song and Freddies death well. I was 15 and the whole family were Queen fans. Quite a few tears were shed when they saw this music video for the first time

Freddie Mercurys last mouthed words on camera are in this music video to his fans ate the very end "I still love you"

This was his last album and all of the songs hit the heart. He was so sick with AIDS at this point and he's still singing about love, hope, and basically to enjoy the time you have. The lyric "sit back and enjoy it through your kids" really hits me square in the feels as a father of three.

This was Freddie’s goodbye. He knew he didn’t have much time left and wanted to to give his fans one more song. The last lyrics he ever performed for all of us… “I still love you.” The feelings mutual Freddie, even all these years later. We all still love you.

Queen did some soundtrack work as well. I believe they did the whole soundtrack to the movie Highlander. Songs from that movie are "Princes of the Universe" "Who Wants To Live Forever" "It's A Kind Of Magic" "One Year of Love" "Gimme The Prize (Kurgan's Theme)"

Roger Taylor on the drums, and he also wrote this song. Released just 9 months before Freddie died.

Possibly their most beautiful song and so soon before his death. The video was in black and white to somewhat cover up the way he was starting to look, but we could all tell early.

He told the boys to use him as much as they could before it was too late. He gave us all so much joy.

This was Freddie's goodbye to us. That last I still love you was for us. And we knew it. At the end Freddie would drink alcohol in the studio to help with the pain.

Yes, Brian wasn't actually at the shoot. They dubbed him in afterwards. I can't remember if he was on vacation or had another commitment but I know that they added him to the video later. Brian's final little smile says it all. A tremendous loss to music, performance and a wonderful man. I just saw Adam Lambert and Queen in Denver and they were wonderful. Roger has arthritis so badly that playing is really difficult for him but he persevered and Brian had a heart attack during the pandemic that took him quite a while to recover from. I wasn't sure I would get to see them again but so glad that I did. Brian came out to the end of the runway several times and I was against the stage. Could have reached up and touched the Red Special. He smiled at me and it made my 70 year old heart sing. They also set a drum kit up on the runway and Roger played a number from out there. This is the first time I have seen them do that. Tyler Warren was there to back Roger up. I know that some of the shows, Roger's son plays back up for them. I have long told my daughter that when I die, I don't want a funeral service. I want her to cremate me, take me to the cemetery, throw my ashes in the grave and blast Queen songs for an hour. My perfect send off!

At that time we were hearing a lot of rumors about Freddie's health, but when this video came out it was clear he didn't have long.

It is so very difficult for me to watch this. This video was released two months before Freddie passed in 1991. It's an absolutely beautiful song, but to me it's not the version of Freddie that I want to remember (respectfully). Great reaction as always guys!

Even though Adam Lambert is Queen’s most frequent lead singer since Freddy’s passing, Roger Taylor, since he originally wrote the song for his son, will usually sing this song. Coincidentally, his son, Rufus Taylor, used to play guest drummer for the Foo Fighters while Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl sang “Under Pressure”. Taylor was another one we lost too soon, and both he and Roger Taylor were both drummers with pretty decent singing voices, that you really only got to hear in concert or, now, on KZread.

About his vest covered with cats, there was actually a song on the same album that was about one of Freddie's cats. The song, called Delilah, is a cute little thing just perfect for cat lovers with it's interesting and so true lyrics and the cat meow sound Brian replicates with his guitar.

The jacket he has on has designs of his four cats. He loved his cats so and in his will provided for their care above all.

He had part of his foot amputated by this point. Literally falling apart and giving his all to us. The greatest showman of all time.

It's like the lyrics to “Somebody to Love”, which Freddie wrote decades before he got sick. ‘Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord, what you're doing to me?’ He was so brave and professional to give his fans what he had left to give.

Amber and Jay, I loved your reaction to this song. Jay caught the lightness and rock while Amber caught how sick Freddie was and how he was saying goodbye to his fans. I recommend "Mother Love" as your next song (it was the last one that Freddie recorded); or any other song off of the album. It was released after Freddie passed. Another great one is "No One But You (Only the Good Die Young)" from 1997. It is the only song without Freddie that John Deacon participated in. He withdrew from the band after the that song as Freddie was a father-figure to him and he couldn't go on in the band.

Amber & Jay, here are some other good Queen songs to react to: "Death on Two Legs", "Now I'm Here", "Spread Your Wings", ""It's Late", "Play the Game", "Tear It Up", "It's a Hard Life", "One Vision".

Each member of Queen wrote a number one HIT. I don't think any other band can claim that!

The three remaining members did a song in tribute to Freddie called No One But You ( Only the Good Die Young)

Amber's face showed that she got what this video and song were about pretty quickly. I've never seen her look so sad in a reaction before.

It is a sad and beautiful song, with Freddie sharing his soul.

Last video 😥but not last song recorded. That is Mother Love, Freddie was too sick so Brian recorded the final verse after his death. Please listen to that one some time, it is beautiful.

Can't help but get choked up every time I see this. A great companion song to this one is The Show Must go on. He worked through so much pain while he was suffering from Aids later in his career to put on a great show and never showed it. Good to know he inspired millions and left us with a ton of great music.

I've always thought Brian's guitar was crying, lamenting, in this video. It was as if there was an invisible cord between Freddie's voice and Brian's guitar where one left off the other continued on.

The man was so very brave. He wanted to keep performing for as long as possible. It was truly his goodbye to us. You should also react to No One But You. It was performed after Freddie's passing by the other three members, written by Brian. It's a beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul.

This is always such a sad one to watch; I knew that Amber would connect to the emotional heart of the song straight away....not just the words, but why it is so meaningful with the timing of the video. [ I always feel you are someone with highly developed emotional intelligence and can imagine what an especially lovely Mummy you must be for your children to grow up with 💞 ]

Brian played guitar it was Roger Taylor on the percussion drums this was Freddie's goodbye to his fans with the last caption I still love you as a thank you for the success he and queen experienced Xx

R.I.P. Freddie, you were saying goodbye to all of us.

He is arguably the best front man in rock.

Not even arguable IMHO.

This video always hits my heart deeply and the one he did with the Opera, tears always flow !😍

This was a song that Roger Taylor (drums) of Queen wrote to his wife and their family together... Taylor has often performed it live on lead vocals cos it's so personal to him. This was Freddie Mercury's final music video... the song was a fitting "goodbye" because his health was failing and he knew the end was near...😪

Brian's guitar solo on this is perfection. Jay and Amber you should do their song "Innuendo" It's the title track from the same album that this song is on!

Bittersweet when I saw this on my feed. So happy that you get to experience it but I've never been able to watch this without tears and haven't done for a very long time. Today I made an exception. One final video, one final message from Freddie to the fans. A beautiful song from the pen of Roger, the drummer which he still performs live today. Thank you J & A for reminding how beautiful this is. And yes, I'm crying again! ❤️

You guys should seriously consider reacting to the film Bohemian Rhapsody. The soundtrack is a character in it's own right.

@@TheRealSubourbonMermaid fair enough, but I was in danger of losing Freddie in my head😬😢

hello Amber and hello Jay....well not much to say.....this song is 32 years old....love it for 32 years....and still now after 32 years.... I can't listen to it without crying like a baby.....at my venerable age of 60......this for me is the testament that poor Freddie left us.....i still love you. .... love....love for life...love for neighbor.....love for music....I think I've said it all.... Rest in peace and love .... great ... unforgettable Freddie.......😪😪❤

Brian and Roger sing this at their current shows and videos of Freddie, John and them play behind. This and Love of My Life are two of the most emotional songs they perform. I suggest you watch them from last year's European tour. Queen is touring the US and being fans of theirs I highly suggest trying to get tickets and seeing them. Brian (guitar) will be 76 and Roger (drums) will be 73. They said they're not ready to retire but it will be a few years before they come back to the US and no guarantees. I'm flying into Denver and San Francisco. We all miss Freddie and Adam Lambert does a good job with the others. I believe Freddie is standing next to him during the shows. A good video to watch is Who Wants to Live Forever at the Isle of Wight to see how he fits with the others. You don't need to react to it. It's one concert that I know will be 2 1/2 hours of pure enjoyment! ❤❤

Loved Queen! It's sad to hear and see this vid, knowing it was Freddy's last...and the last we'd see him alive.😢
