Brian recalled a wonderful moment in the studio with Freddie during the 1975 Bohemian Rhapsody sessions.
The Queen guitarist said: “You know, one day Freddie had a big smile on his face when I came into the studio and he popped a cassette into the player and said, ‘Listen to this, darling. This is going to surprise you.'”
It was a handmade tape, and not just of assorted recordings but something incredibly special to Brian, himself. Remember, this was in a time long before digital wizardry when everything had to be done painstakingly by hand, which shows how thoughtful and dedicated a friend Freddie was.
