The Night Freddie Mercury Knew He Was Saying Goodbye. AI-Generated.
On a cold October evening in 1990, in a dimly lit studio in Montreux, Switzerland, a man with a weakening body stood before a microphone. He looked thinner. Frailer. But when he opened his mouth, the world heard a voice that sounded like thunder wrapped in velvet. The man was Freddie Mercury, and that night, he recorded “The Show Must Go On.” It would be the last true roar of one of music’s greatest lions. And deep down, Freddie knew: this wasn’t just another song. It was his goodbye.

The Crazy Train of Life:
I was born in 1984. Two of my favorite uncles introduced my parents, and both of them were really into the music scene in Oregon (yes, connected to things like the Grateful Dead and the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, for context). They were also very into wrestling. Often, both of these uncles, who were my favorites when I was a kid, would babysit me.
