Freddie Mercury y Michael Jackson compartieron una cena y esto es lo que ocurrió

Siempre se ha hablado de la relación de Freddie Mercury y Michael Jackson. Los dos fallecidos artistas son leyendas en la industria de la música de todos los tiempos, e incluso estuvieron preparando una colaboración en los 80, justo después de Michael Jackson alcanzara la cima del éxito con su álbum ‘Thriller’.

Este dueto finalmente no salió a la luz, según se comentaba, porque los problemas de drogas de Mercury hicieron que Jackson se negase a seguir trabajando con él. Recientemente, ha salido a la luz una entrevista de la periodista Lisa Robinson al vocalista de Queen donde éste habla sobre su antiguo compañero, que ha publicado una cuenta fan de Twitter: «Él solía venir a ver nuestros shows en Los Ángeles. Supongo que le gustábamos. Así que lo llegué a conocer y él seguía viniendo a vernos”, comenzaba explicando el intérprete de ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. “Recuerdo haber ido a cenar con él. Pienso que ahora estará en su casa. No le gusta salir. Es lo que dice. Él dice que todo lo que quiere lo puede tener en su hogar, todo lo que quiere se lo compra”, continuaba contando.

💥Freddie on Michael Jackson💥 . Freddie: He used to come and see our shows at the Forum in La. I guess he likes us. So I got to meet him and he kept coming to see us. I remember going to dinner with him. I think now he just stays at home. He doesn't like coming out. That's what he says. He says whatever he wants he can get it home…anything he wants he just buys it. . Lisa Robinson: But have you ever talked to him about it…to stay in the house like that, that kind of isolation is so scary… . Freddie: I know that's not me. But I mean you know that's his bag. I don't know it's just because he started when he was very young…when you think about it, when I'm talking to him I think my God he's 25 and I'm 37 yet he's been in the business almost longer than I have because he started that young…so it's sort of frightening…you think somebody who's 22 or 25 or just starting out or whatever and I could teach him a few tricks… but not Michael. I think one of the tracks (of the 3 tracks they did together) would have been on the Thriller album if I finished it but I missed out… . 👉P.S. One legend talking about another legend… could it get any more epic? And I just love the way Freddie talks about Michael with such humble attitude defending his eccentric character acknowledging the circumstances that shaped him into who was… Freddie doesn't rush to conclusion or judgement because he's smarter than to fall into the trap of the interviewer and most importantly because people are different and Freddie perfectly understands and respects that ❤ . 🎥 From an interview by Lisa Robinson in 1984 . #FreddieMercury #MichaelJackson

En cuanto al éxito del Rey del Pop, Mercury sabía que Jackson era ya un veterano: «Piensas que alguien con 22 o 25 años está apenas iniciando, y que podrías enseñarle algunos trucos, pero no a Michael… Cuando lo piensas, cuando hablo con él y pienso que tiene 25 y yo 37, aun así, ha estado en el negocio mucho más tiempo, ya que se inició cuando era muy joven”.

Happy birthday to @MichaelJackson who would have been 62 today 🙌❤🎊 . 💥"I’m a Freddie Mercury fan."💥 (In response to an interviewer backstage at a Queen concert at the LA Forum, who asked: Can I tell my viewers that Michael Jackson is a Queen fan?) . 💬Quoted in "Michael Jackson: Life in the Magical Kingdom", in Rolling Stone (17 February 1983). . 👉P.S. Now that's what I call a true hardcore fan of Freddie. I love how Michael specifically wants it to be known that he's a Freddie Mercury fan and mire than a Queen fan because Michael, like many others, was in love with Freddie himself and what he represented on and off stage beyond Queen music. I am so in love with Michael's response cause it's sooo me… 💪. . 👉P.S I mean just look at the way he's looking at Freddie in the 2nd photo…Michael was a world wide success by that point and yet he's awed and hypnotized by everything about Freddie…because only true genius recognizes true genius 😍 . #FreddieMercury #MichaelJackson

Freddie Mercury admitió en esta entrevista que había grabado tres temas junto a Michael Jackson. El líder de Queen pensaba que uno de estos temas hubiese sido incluido en el legendario ‘Thriller’, pero confiesa que no fue terminado. «Me lo perdí» acaba diciendo. No hay duda de que estos temas hubiesen sido oro, con las voces de estas dos estrellas de la música unidas creando música.
