That's a much-abused talking point. Freddy Mercury died of Pneumonia, but that doesn't really tell the whole story, does it. It's like blaming the tree in a car crash. To put it plain and simple, his age put him in the highest risk bracket, his fame made him over-exposed, and he travelled abroad for Christmas just to cap it off. I don't want to sound like I'm gloating, I wouldn't want to wish anyone ill. But realistically he was at the age where the first thing to come along is enough. And it was. Fair play to him, 100 years well spent.
