I was only four when Freddie died and despite my parents playing a lot of classic rock Queen wasn't among them. I didn't get into their music until high school.
I did listen to some Queen today as a memory/tribute to Freddie.
He will always be missed and treasured no matter how many years go by I think.
On a positive note, I'm glad you liked the documentary Steffi. Brian does tell great stories.
I hope one day that special is released in the US, so far it's only in the UK.
