“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.
