    1954 Aged 8 he was shipped off to St Peters English boarding school in Panchgani,
    50 miles from Bombay where he formed a band called The Hectics
    1964 Moved to Feltham, Middlesex
    1966 Enrolled Ealing College of Art
    1969, after a typically flamboyant audition, Freddie became the lead singer with Sour Milk Sea. The band were to split just two months later. His determination to make something of himself as a performer was so strong that he found he couldn't be without a band for too long, and finally he formed his own band - Wreckage with Richard Thompson as drummer, Mike Bersin and Tupp Taylor from Ibex. A year later that too folded when Freddie, impatient for stardom, left the band.
    Freddie remained friends with Smile - and when Tim Stafell left the band to try and make a name for himself with Humpy Bong - Freddie took over and joined forces with Brian and Roger.

    Freddie tragically died on November 24th, 1991 at the age of 45, of AIDS related bronchial pneumonia.

    Well it was nice to see them get a place in that UK Music Hall of Fame... even though I think it was a fucking disgrace that Bowie wasn't put in as a founding member...
