Queen were working on their album next door to The Sex Pistols, and according to the band’s roadie Peter Hince, Vicious tried to stomp on Freddie’s turf by pulling the eccentric star to one side for a chat.
“Sid Vicious stumbled in, the worse for wear, and addressed Fred: ‘Have you succeeded in bringing ballet to the masses yet?’ Fred casually got up, walked over to him and jibed: ‘Aren’t you Stanley Ferocious or something?‘”
Not stopping there, Freddie then gabbed Sid by the collar and threw him out of the room, said Hince.
Freddie told a slightly different tale to the one Hince remembered when he spoke about the incident. The music legend said in a TV interview: “I called him Simon Ferocious or something, and he didn’t like it at all. I said, ‘What are you going to do about it?’”
I counted the stars tonight, Oh how they shine so bright, I gather them all, so we perfectly align.
I have waited a thousand years, And now that tomorrow’s here, I will shout from the mountain top Our hearts belong near. And we’ve traveled land and sea, Our beacon the love we keep.
I honestly can’t choose which part of the song to quote cause every word fits them so well oh god thank you so much for introducing me to this! And I decide to go back to one of my favorite things to draw on this one: a nature scenery, cause them just flying around in rivers and mountains is all I can think about while listening to it ❤
