June 1994
I was hurt badly so hurt when magazines still kept making up lies about my life.
I came home from a whole 5 months from being in England like I've said before it was my home it was my second home, always. Magazines beyond magazines just came coming out with untold rumors of my life, I was adopted, I killed my father by pulling the plug, my mom doesn't want me home, I won't let Queen get a hold of my fathers music. LIES LIES LIES!
We wanted to prove everyone wrong this year, my uncles and I meet up at my uncle Rogers house in Thursley, England a small village in Surrey. I told my new boyfriend Keanu (we meet through a mutual friend) I'd be gone for a good 2 months it was a good opportunity because he was also promoting on a movie called "Speed" back in the states. I was so happy with being with him. He was so responsible for himself and very loving and also respectful to my family and his as well he had a good head on his shoulders, we loved each other. No disrespect to Keanu but with him it was totally different than with Curt. My ex i dated from 84-89'.
Last i heard from Curt was when he tried to call me after my dad passed away. My phone rang the day after he passed away and he told me he was ''so sorry for my loss.'' I honestly didn't want to hear his voice. YES i was still bitter about the whole situation what happened between us. Plus, him and his girlfriend Frances Pennington i hear are doing just fine.
I was determined to get back into the studio with my uncles one last time, I had meet up with all of them and brought my fathers backing vocals and whatever else he'd recorded before passing, this album was not going to have anyone disappointed. We were determined to make my fathers legacy very proud.
"so I really want this album to evolve around what Queen has grown to be" my uncle Brian told all of us , "so sort of a mature and out of the box but not really in our music zone, totally the opposite" uncle Roger explained
"I'm going to come up with a beautiful bass line for this song that's sort of a sad but a letting go kind of sound" my uncle John added "I want lots and lots of piano for this album because he (Freddie)..." and I said "loved the piano in everything" and he nodded and smiled.
This was it we were working night and day, on this album with my backing vocals and all of us writing off most of what Queen plus my father never got to write finish. They wanted me to play piano knowing my sound was very similar to a T just like my fathers as he taught me, they used my vocals and blended it together with my dads, even to sing the rest of what he couldn't.
We all wrote the rest of the songs and added our vocals to the rest on the song to finish it.
