After seven years it had finally come to this. But, shouldn't there have been more accolade? Or at least some kind of acknowledgement? How had the lives changed for eight friends? How had it remained the same? It seemed as though these lives were revolving around the same things and they were all certainly getting older and more mature. But, there were still some questions. Were the answers somewhere in Montreux?

It's a beautiful summer in Kensington but it's an even more beautiful summer in Surrey. The place is Ridge Farm and it would prove to be so much more than just a place to record. What better place to spend with your friends than being captive in the countryside?

John and Veronica have made the announcement. The wedding is quickly approaching. January can be the cruelest of months but love is patient and love is kind. Love is having those friends around you who will never let you down. Lots of Brian, Chrissie, Freddie, Mary, Roger, and Lydia.

Before the fame, before the glamor and before the money there was the simple life. A life of uncertainty and a life full of choices. Here are our 8 friends as it began in 1971.

News of the World has premiered throughout England receiving rave reception. But record releases always mean lots of travel, lots of commitments and time away; away from the ones you love. It is now time to premiere the album in none other than Los Angeles, California; a seemingly far away place in America. An escape to such a glamorized city, with the elegance of an all-inclusive hotel would bring out the best...and the most daring instincts in people.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.

'Y'know, I never normally paid much attention to the bands that came and went here, when I was around, it was a pretty normal sight here at the farm. But I had a feeling that having Queen staying with us was going to be an exception.'

1972. A year full of change. It was a year when a very young, very naive group of friends began to form a loose-knit circle. Anything could happen when you were getting your name out there, trying to be discovered or maybe just trying to take a different path than you thought you would. The uncertainty would make one restless and the familiar could drive one bonkers. Not to mention, the truthfulness revealed over hard apple cider would most certainly change things for good.

Chrissie and Veronica are very close to becoming mothers. Chrissie, a first timer and Veronica's second. It was a time for new additions, new fears and new experiences. Why not celebrate it all? The new addition in your life doesn't have to be an 'actual' baby. It could always be something else. Sometimes new additions mean new changes.

A spin-off to 'The gig Up North'. It's a Friday night. Another show. Same bar. Same crowd. The difference? Lydia has brought someone for Brian to meet. Autumn: It's a kind of magic. A lot of focus on Brian!
