It has been reported that Freddie was found dead in his Costa Del Sol apartment by a carer.
In light of the news, his friend Bobby appeared on Good Morning Britain today where he spoke about a phone conversation he shared with Freddie last year.
He relayed how he had asked Freddie if he wanted to meet up for a cup of tea, but was turned down as Freddie wasn’t feeling well.
He said: ”I might have been one of the last people to speak to him because I went over to Spain to do a couple of gigs last year.

“Someone said that Freddie was living in that place in Spain.
"I got in touch with him, I got hold of his number and phoned him up. At first he didn't really feel like talking and then called me back.
"He said, 'How you doing Bob' and I said, 'Alright, how are you Freddie? Would you like to meet up for a cup of tea? I'm in town.' And he said, 'No, I've not been feeling too well'."
Bobby added: ”Just by looking at the pictures... I want to remember the Freddie we all remembered.
"Rest in peace, Freddie. He was fantastic."
A neighbour of Freddie’s told The Mirror he’d “barely left” his apartment since moving in several years ago.
