Today, we will all be coping with our own memories of Freddie;
it's hard to imagine being here without him.

Freddie meant a lot of different things to different people -
he had a vision of greatness for the band and saw it through.
As a perfectionist he always wanted the best and got the best
for the band.

He was always sensitive to and aware of all the people around him.
His sense of fairness encouraged a balance within the band
giving room for our own individual creativity and songwriting.

Freddie always created a reaction -
no one was indifferent to him.

We will all miss him.

John Deacon, April 1992
