Not saying this is what Elton has, as nowadays he could just tell the truth, and it wouldnt be such a big thing.

The big difference though is that a blind man could have seen how ill Freddie was.

Sir Elton has been doing his concerts etc. Darling Freddie could hardly walk so I cannot see any parallels at all.

Any news today about ReggieBabes?

I should imagine if EJ did have HIV don't you think he'd have mentioned it by now. Its not the disease it was 20 years ago. And for most sensible people it doesn't have the same taboo it once had.

Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

I'm glad it's not just me who got slightly peeved with the inference that gay+illness = HIV.

When I heard he was ill, my mind didnt make that connection at all, I was gutted his gig in liverpool was cancelled as it was a birthday treat for me.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.
