Sitting here wondering how to wind up this day. To be honest, 5th Sept is not a day of celebration for me … it’s always tinged with darkness and unresolved feelings of regret. But this beautiful new portrait of Freddie by my dear friend Chiara @chiaratomaini reminded me that Freddie’s star still burns bright - and who could have imagined that his light would reach every corner of this crowded world … In the midst of it all, another great sadness - a young and beautiful talent - Sarah Harding - struck down in the prime of her life. Sending love to her band mates tonight - I know how that feels. And heartfelt condolences to her family and friends, including you, dear Talia - I know you were very close. And so another night comes down on this side of the planet - and another dawn is on the way - another day - another sunrise - to be grateful for. Onwards, dear folks … let’s not waste a second. Bri
