Watching the Freddie Mercury Documentary on C5 at the moment 22:26 - Feb 19 with 2418 viewsDarran

Serious question.


Would he have lived today with the medical advances?

Well Magic Johnson caught HIV around the same time as Freddie did probably and he's still going strong so I don't know.

He probably would have lived a lot longer that's for sure.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Quite possibly

Such a shame what a talented man he was. RIP Freddy

Probably yes.

Most people with AIDS don't die of it if they live in the west. They certainly live a lot longer.

He'd have to take a bucket full of pills every day though.

One or two pills a day normally these days Humpty. The treatment has changed a lot since the early days.

And the vast majority now live a healthy, full length life.

So in answer to Darran's question - yes, he would be able to just live with it these days. Recently, new treatment irradicated it from someone's blood by the way (treatment to date has allowed people to live with it rather than be cured). So they seem to be on their way to a possible 'cure'.

Applies to many illnesses

There was a time when sixty was old and people just died without there being relief


Cancer detection is improving all the time but treatment has still far to go

Jonathan Blake, who was featured in the outstanding movie Pride, was one of the first in the UK to be diagnosed in the early eighties

I heard him on the radio recently still going strong,

Freddie would be 70 now though, and plenty of rock stars fail to make that age through other causes than HIv, unfortunately.

.An absolute genius, in 1985 the greatest ever collection of rock acts was assembled together and one man stood out head and shoulders above all others.

I loved Freddie''s voice.
Of all the songs of his I think "Barcelona" is incredible.

To be fair, she was (is?) and an internationally renowned opera singer. Fair play to Freddy that he could hold his own.

That was the whole point of the song, Showcasing two very different yet amazing voices.It was a collaboration not a competition. smfh

Whenever I think of Freddie Mercury late in his life I always have my thoughts move on to Kenny Everett too. Two great entertainers, both iconic, and both opened the British public up to awareness of HIV/AIDS.

Cupid Stunt, genius.

not saying it was a competition. Just saying as much as I enjoy Freddie singing on Barcellona that Montserrat Caballé performance blows me away every time. Great song. (not sure what smfh means)

You catch HIVs many times over these days but you're unlikely to die of it unless it turns into the AIDS.

Two pairs of extra upper teeth? That's around six rows of teeth up there. :p

Didn't effect his role in Return of the Jedi......
