A new book is about to reveal a surprising secret about Freddie Mercury, the famous Queen singer had a daughter that the public never knew about.
The book, called Love, Freddie, says Freddie had a daughter after a short affair in 1976 with the wife of one of his close friends. That daughter, now 48 years old, lives in Europe, works in the medical field, and has children of her own, making Freddie a grandfather, even though he passed away more than 30 years ago.
The woman, known only as “B,” has come forward to share her story. She also gave 17 volumes of Freddie’s personal journals to the book’s author, Lesley-Ann Jones. These journals helped tell the story in the new book. Until now, no one had ever mentioned Freddie having a child, so this is a big surprise for fans.
B said she and Freddie had a close and loving relationship for the last 15 years of his life, before he died in 1991 from pneumonia caused by AIDS. She said that even though her birth came from an unusual situation, Freddie loved and cared for her deeply.
She said she waited many years to tell her story, but now she feels it’s the right time. She made it clear she never wanted money or fame, she just wants people to know the truth about her father.
Freddie was known for having relationships with both women and men. One of his most famous relationships was with Mary Austin. Even though they ended their engagement when Freddie came out about his sexuality, they remained very close until he died.
This news about a secret daughter adds a surprising new part to Freddie Mercury’s life story that fans never expected.
