"I think the press had their final bit of vitriol against Freddie when he died. We had some nasty reports saying that he deserved to die because he had a promiscuous lifestyle, quite unbelievable things people wrote. Certainly the Freddie that we knew wasn’t wildly promiscuous or any of these things that people were saying. He had a very responsible attitude to everyone that he was close to and he was a very generous and caring person to all the people that came through his life. More than that you can’t ask."
