THE DEATH OF FREDDIE MERCURY: WHO IS TO BLAME?

The Alarmist

6d ago • 59 mins

Who’s to blame for the Death of Freddie Mercury?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes comedian Adam Macias, host of the podcast That Was Wild!, to discuss the legacy of iconic rockstar Freddie Mercury and his premature death at age 45 due to complications with AIDS. While we know how he died, it’s hard not to think this could have been avoidable for Freddie and countless others. Will good old fashioned homophobia take the blame? Or was this a melting pot of American values meets tabloid overreach and government inaction? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
