That’s really not funny or in good taste. Poor bloke, a victim of trial by media.

In his time he was probably one of the funniest entertainers out there in a music hall sort of way.

I recently showed this to my missus, she had never seen it. I don’t think I have ever seen her laugh so much.

RIP, Freddie, thanks for the laughs.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the old Freddie would have appreciated it.

Judging by most recent pics, lifestyle choices may have contributed perhaps.......

Very sad to hear this Freddie was a star in the true sense of the word. Outrageously funny, a wicked twinkle in his eye and as a guest on many TV shows the hosts would never know what he’d do next and were terrified of him.

Comic genius! RIP
