“I won’t be touring on my own or splitting up with Queen. Without the others - I would be nothing. The press always makes out that I’m the wild one and they’re all quiet, but it’s not true. I’ve got some wild stories about Brian May you wouldn’t believe!”
— Freddie Mercury, 1985
The fact that both Mika and Michael tried to grow a moustache in different times of their life with the same outcome: disappointment.
Brian: I’m playing what I always play!
Fred: You’re playing “nyi nyi nyi nyi nyi”
Brian: I’m playing exactly what is on the record Fred!
Roger: You do slow it down
Brian: (fed up) Oh, fuck slowing down.. that’s hardly the point
Fred: We might try and join in with you. You are expecting all of us to be perfect before you even attempt-
Brian: (still fed up) Oh don’t be so fucking ridiculous
John: Take it down a bit
Roger: No don’t take it down!
John: It’s not coming out alright, it’s coming out on the…
Roger: I wanna hear it!

i love them i love them i love them
Technically, it's Brian but I just wanted to try to draw him in a different way if he smokes or isn't vegan or something....
But I really like it...

You’re welcome :))))
Let's talk about this more obscure interview from '92:
1. Brian basically admitted that Freddie is in every song in Back to the Light in some way, but he hesitates and says, "I don't like to talk--sometimes it's hard to talk about it because it gets too specific, you know?" So he was (and still is, I suppose, since he didn't mention this during the rerelease) reluctant to talk about every little way Freddie was in the music for BTTL.
2. He says the most direct connection to Freddie is "Nothin' But Blue", unsurprisingly, but he also says that as he was writing this, "I'm thinking about his life, and I'm thinking about how I feel losing him, I'm thinking about what my life means." Brian wondering what his life meant after losing Freddie is something he talked about before, with his quotes that he thought his life was over :(
3. Next is where it gets pretty interesting, imo. He says the previous point relates to the theme of the album, along with the question of how Freddie felt about all this and his way out of dark spots in his life. Brian mentions how he wrote "Resurrection" when Freddie was declining rapidly, but his spirit was getting stronger and stronger. This is the first time I've heard Brian imply he partly took inspiration for the fighting spirit of "Resurrection" from Freddie.
4. He seems to almost choke up at the end of the video. He's asked about the future of Queen, and responds by saying he doesn't see a future for the band without Freddie. He says, "That's how....[pauses, sniffs] that's how I feel about it" while looking like this
So. Ouch.
Brian: Thank you! We’re trying some new things here I hope you like them. This is something a little more familiar - if you remember dirty little song called Death On Two Legs this is it
Freddie: …We’re not gonna do that just yet. I’ll kill you when I get in the dressing room! We’re gonna do a song… we’re gonna do Death On Two Legs, don’t worry, but before we do that, I’d like to do a song I like. This is called Somebody To Love.

Everyone always talks about their roman empire being maxiel or lestappen or brocedes or landoscar or carlando which is fine, everyone has their own thing. But what about BRITCEDES?!?!?! How are they not talked about more? The man that the 11 year old George waited for—that man is gonna be his teammate 13 years later. The man he looked up to, he’ll get to race against him, with him in a little more than a decade. The man he waited for once upon a time waited for him back after races. They’ll be in videos together, take ice baths next to each other, get dinner together. That someday they will be joking around together and Lewis will love to tease the hell out of him. That Lewis will be taking him surfing (and hopefully skydiving soon if he hasn’t already and they are just keeping the content from us). That the man George cheered for will cheer back for him years later. Lewis literally paused in the middle of his media pen interview to watch George’s qualifying with his crossed fingers and “c’mon, buddy.” Lewis is gonna shower him with praises (how George is only gonna improve over the years and Lewis will help him anyway he can).
His hero turned into his teammate. Britcedes is my roman empire.
