We’re not certain how accurate the film was in portraying Prenter, played by British actor Allen Leech, in terms of his manipulative and opportunistic ways as explained in this blurb from Not only does he trick Mercury into firing band manager John Reid (Aidan Gillen), but he then tries to interfere with Queen’s musical direction, before taking Mercury to Berlin, keeping him away from the rest of the band and Mercury’s best friend MaryOne thing is certain, Prenter sold stories on Mercury and What the film did get right was that after Mercury and Prenter broke up after Mercury decided to give up drinking, drugs and partying. i will forever hate him.
It was idiotic. 'He worked with Freddie too much and the rest of the band thought they were being neglected, that Paul was not taking care of their needs,' recalls Stephen.Unlike the graphic picture painted in the film in which Prenter bewitches the Queen front-man, his family and friends are confident that while Freddie Mercury and Paul were extremely close, they were never lovers.After seeing their relationship in action first hand, Prenter's brother Stephen couldn't be more adamant on this point.
❤️He chose to live that lifestyle no one made him do it. Freddie is pictured on Paul's back on stage at a show in Holland'Brian May said they spent 10 years making this film so they could get it right. Immortality will do that! Freddie never once in his life admitted to being gay, it was an open secret but never once did he say, 'I'm gay', whereas Paul was very open about it. They are not even remotely similar. Rest In peace Freddy MercuryFirst time I cried all day…..like I lost my best friend. 'The truth is Paul didn't split from Queen until the year after Live Aid. 'Stephen, 59, a casino worker who lives in Las Vegas, said this was wrong.He said Paul was openly gay and their parents had known of his sexual preference for years and never had a problem with it.
... We all love Freddie and would of been great if he was still alive. Still a very sad thing. She didn’t say Paul killed him, she said AIDS was rampant and catching it was inevitable, which it was.thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeIagreeWhat an ass. 'I've seen the film and I thought it was a bit sleekit [deceitful, slimy] the way Prenter was used as an evil character. Freddie Mercury was one of the biggest musicians in the world in the 1970s and ’80s, but one person could still boss him around: Mary Austin, his one-time fiancée. He claimed Mercury had slept with hundreds of men and that two of his former lovers had died of AIDs.‘Freddie was so scared he would catch it. Anyway, I love the man and his story. 'Freddie was gay, him and Paul would go to gay clubs. 'My parents knew about Paul being gay since he was 16, so for a long time,' he explains. Loved Queen before but this was, I don’t know how to explain it.
He gave us beautiful music that will live forever around the world. I was also backstage at a lot of Queen concerts. 'He and the rest of the band resented how close Paul and Freddie were. He took Freddie into the deep bowels of the gay club scene—where there was major gratuitous sex—with multiple partners— and major drugging going on.
People choose their own paths in life. I just don’t think Freddie would have delved that deep into that side of the gay scene, if it were not for that bastard Prenter. A whore is a whore, male or female!that’s why his ass died at a early age, I agree if Prenter did not push the gay crap he probably wouldn’t have dipped in it because he loved his female friend till the end!Not the consequences of a lifestyle, but of a disease.
According to Mercury’s partner Jim Hutton, Queen’s lead singer felt what Prenter did was was the ultimate betrayal.
Paul Prenter was a villain, as Freddie Mercury’s personal manager comes out of the film very poorly. To die suddenly is better than a long painful death.
He had a talent and will be remembered by it. He must have meant right for the image of Brian May and the rest of the band. 'Bohemian Rhapsody reaches its climax with Queen's and Freddie Mercury's spectacular closing-performance at the 1985 Live Aid at Wembley Stadium.The film claims Prenter tried to prevent Freddie Mercury from taking part in the charity fundraising concert which resulted in the breakdown of his relationship with Queen.It then shows Prenter revealing all of Freddie's sexual secrets in a kiss-and-tell interview.But Paul's family claim he was instrumental in getting Queen back together for what was possibly their most famous performance of all time – the Live Aid show.And the film failed to mention Queen's boycott-busting music tour to Apartheid-era South Africa in 1984, with a string of paid performances at Sun City.His goddaughter Blathanaid told MailOnline; 'Paul was instrumental in Queen appearing at Live Aid.
Your manliness would be about as big as a pimple on Freddie Mercurie’s butt. Freddie was a very kind and trusting person. But he was really good at his job. I had no knowledge of previous history to be dissatisfied with. It is not our place to judge.
I was disturbing. He never lived in fear of our father. Freddie passed away November 24th, 1991 NOT the 23th as this article states.
To pretend that Paul was the instigator is simply wrong. The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.
