I always thought it was due to the high price of scaffolding hire.

Having one's teeth fixed doesn't affect the voice, but getting a nose job can.

Freddie didn't have rotten crooked teeth like Robert Plant or Bowie, he had a pretty significant overbite. Changing that would have changed the shape of his mouth and probably would have affected the way he sang.

I suppose the bottom line is he was a fab singer....and that was before the days of autotune and all that crap.....overbite and all (the only singer who I feel comes close to his range and level of singing is Mika). It was great to see him in the closing ceremonies last night. WTF was Jessie J doing with Queen?? She looked great but overdid it with the singing.

Yea, she looked great, agree and me too thought she overdid her singing. Maybe she thought she wouldn't be heard enough?
