The claim that Freddie Mercury, the legendary lead singer of Queen, had a daughter whom he kept secret until his death has shocked the music world. In a newly published biography, it is alleged that Mercury had a daughter as a result of a relationship with a close friend's wife in 1976, and that he secretly loved and protected this child throughout his life. This claim could lead us to reassess Mercury's life and legacy in a new light.
It is claimed that Freddie Mercury, the legendary name of the Queen group, had a daughter whom he never revealed to anyone until his death. The claim is found in the new biography book titled Love, Freddie, written by British author Lesley-Ann Jones. According to the book, Mercury had a brief relationship with the wife of a close friend in 1976. According to a report in The Guardian, a girl was born from this relationship. This woman, who is now 48 years old, works in the health sector in Europe and is referred to in the book only by the letter "B." B says that they had a strong and loving relationship with Mercury since her birth. According to her account, Mercury visited her secretly and left her his 17-volume personal diary. These diaries contain special memories and thoughts about his life.
"Freddie Mercury was my father. He loved me very much and always took care of me from the moment I was born. He protected me like a treasure," says B.
DIARIES STARTED IN 1976
Freddie Mercury began writing his diary on June 20, 1976, the day he learned about the pregnancy. That same week, Queen's famous song "You're My Best Friend" was released. In the diaries, Mercury recounts his childhood in Zanzibar, his boarding school years in India, and his family's process of moving to England. He wrote his last note on July 31, 1991, the day his health deteriorated. Mercury passed away that year due to pneumonia related to AIDS.
"THE TRUTHS MUST COME OUT NOW"
B explains her decision to reveal this secret years later, saying, "After thirty years of rumors and lies, it is now time for Freddie to speak in his own words. He left those notebooks to me, his only child." The author of the book, Lesley-Ann Jones, said, "At first, I was skeptical, but I now completely believe that this person is real. She worked with me for three and a half years without asking for anything in return."
The existence of Mercury's daughter was known only to his closest circle until now.
