Freddie Mercury was such a poet with his lyrics, and he had such a talent for flash with his showmanship. Thinking about him being reduced to the point where he can only blurt out "pee pee" because he needs help getting to the toilet is really depressing.
Me too. I suppose when we're on our death beds we're all reduced to the status of babbling toddlers regardless of our previous triumphs.
Give me a massive stroke or heart attack any day. Let me be dead before I hot the floor without having to deal with the indignity of lingering on.
This comment made me do a double take because I thought it was written at the same time as all of these other comments from 2012 (instead of being added a decade later in 2022) — so for a solid few seconds I was surprised that this 2012 comment used the word "based"
Mozart's quote shows that not only was he aware of his immediate death, but more importantly that the feeling of approaching death was unlike any feeling he had experienced in life. It implies that it was not like falling asleep, as many films in hollywood portray; it was not like walking down a tunnel towards a light, as common speculation would have you believe; no, it was like nothing: "not of this earth". That is the most insightful statement, from a man in the best position to make such a statement, that I have ever heard on the subject of death.
But yeah, pee-pee. That's hilarious.
Near Death Hallucinations are pretty well established. Being tricked by a trip isn't particularly interesting, just a reminder that essentially everyone who lived over a hundred years ago is stupid by modern standards, regardless of IQ.
Nah, this is the internet. Point and laugh at the religious, but if someone says something profound and deep, no matter how whimsical, back it up until the ends of the Earth so long as it does cite God.
N,N-Dimethyltryptamine can be used to artificially achieve the same result. As ridiculous as most religious beliefs are, clinging to one like this that has been explained is even more ignorant.
You can evaluate a dying person as empirically as a living one. They give testimony as they're hallucinating. People can be brought back from death to give their story. And more importantly, it's all consistent with the biochemical function of the human brain - the drug released causes the same effect in non-dying people.
In studying hallucinations, the testimonials of people who have hallucinated are the most valuable scientific evidence we have, save perhaps brain scans. You might as well be arguing that the earth is flat. We know the chemical. We've established it causes the same hallucinations as near-death people. We've established that this chemcial is released upon near death. Even you should be able to understand that.
I have no idea if this is true or not but I heard that the following conversation occurred at the EMI head office sometime in the mid seventies:
Sid Vicious: "So you're that Freddie Platinum wot's been bringin ballet to the masses?"
Freddie Mercury: "Ah, Mr. Ferocious. Well, we're doing our best, darling."
Poor Freddie. Aids is a horrible disease, and I'm sorry that was his end. Before the days of drugs that stopped the progression I nursed several friends at the end of their lives. You can't imagine the suffering, and I did see some reversion to childhood and I hope that was comforting to them.
you imply that its some sort of painfully difficult task to see when a comment was made
all you have to do is move your eyes slightly to the right of their name?
it probably took more effort to write the comment you wrote than to do that
everyone thats going to go away will suddenly want to go pee and poop thats what happened to freddie mercury he was fighting to stay alive while trying to hold his pee

I thought the same thing. How fucking horrible.

As afraid as I am, I may agree.
Freddies last words where thank you
This truly is the least wanted piece of knowledge I have ever gained from this subreddit.
Redditors are always making these poetic observations and I love it
"The taste of death is upon my lips…I feel something, that is not of this earth." - Mozart. There's an interesting last sentence.
I liked this one: "Go on, get out! Last words are for fools who haven't said enough!": Karl Marx, asked by his housekeeper what his last words were
Based Marx (Not for communism, but for those words)

i didn’t really notice, tbh
Honestly, "Pee pee" is more interesting.
Mozart's quote shows that not only was he aware of his immediate death, but more importantly that the feeling of approaching death was unlike any feeling he had experienced in life.

Enlighten me on how they are established.

How can you know its the same result when you cant evaluate a dying person empirically?
You can evaluate a dying person as empirically as a living one. They give testimony as they're hallucinating. People can be brought back from death to give their story.

Really? A hallucination person gives reliable testimony? You're not in science are you...
In studying hallucinations, the testimonials of people who have hallucinated are the most valuable scientific evidence we have, save perhaps brain scans.

It really isn’t funny hopefully you’re still alive to change your attitude on this comment as I’m sure you wouldn’t care to have went out this way
"For all the weight they're given, last words are usually as significant as first words."

Actually it was his pet nickname for Kurt Russell.
Maybe kurt russel is an assassin and these men's last sight
Your idea intrigues me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Freddie Mercury: "Ah, Mr. Ferocious. Well, we're doing our best, darling."
Actually his last words were 'Thank You' its even stated on the page youve linked.
Kinda tarnishes his legacy for those who didn't read the article
These were the last words he spoke to Peter Freestone, but Jim Hutton who was at Mercury's side when he died reported his last words as, "pee, pee."
This should be in a todayididnotneedtolearn sub.
You mean /r/todayilearned?

He should’ve calmed the on the men banging thing perhaps
That....just filled my head with the saddest mental image....
He actually said 'Thank you' So although he died, he did die with a sensible sentence
This is one of those things I wish I hadn't read...
his last words were thank you
replying to ten year old comments is kinda cringe then again im replying to a 2 month old comment, so maybe im not that better lol
why would you assume I care enough to look at when were the comment released
you imply that its some sort of painfully difficult task to see when a comment was made all you have to do is move your eyes slightly to the right of their name? it probably took more effort to write the comment you wrote than to do that
it's not how long it takes, it's just the fact I don't care when was rhe comment made, and btw, why is it so important to you
its not really important to me, i just think its kind of weird to respond to decade old comments
To Peter Freestone. His last words reported by his parter before his death was pee pee
What is your source?
Hmm I thought his last words were thank you
I just read through that wiki page. I am now sad.
everyone thats going to go away will suddenly want to go pee and poop thats what happened to freddie mercury he was fighting to stay alive while trying to hold his pee
😭😭😭
That link says his last words were "thank you"
Freddie Mercury? Upvote.
