The brief comment from John Deacon was:"Adapting and adjusting to life without him".

Brian May said: "Freddie and I were together for...well,  for all my adult life, really.
I think I was 20 when I met him, and I´m more than twice that now! So yeah, it feels very odd and I don´t suppose we´ll ever get used to it".

Peter Paterno..President of Hollywood Records, signed Queen to an American deal in the summer of 1990. He said:"I think had freddie lived when Wayne´s World had happened everything would have all been exactly the same- you would have had a big Queen explosion. And, you know from my perspective, if Freddie were still alive today, and could go out and tour America, Queen would be the biggest band in the country".

Andew Prior, Divisional Managing Director for the Parlophone and Capitol labels.
"I think Freddie Mercury will be a force in popular music for many decades to come. There's no auestion about that. But I think the last year has had a strong emotional pull on anybody who was in any way involved with Queen´s career, because the nature of the man was such that emotion was part of him anyway, and it just was an incredibly sad loss".
