Freddie Mercury daughter, new biography claims!
Freddie Mercury had a secret daughter with whom he had a close relationship until his death in 1991, according to a new biography of the Queen frontman. The book, Love, Freddie, claims the child was conceived accidentally during an affair with the wife of a close friend in 1976.
She has now disclosed her existence, previously known only to Freddie’s bandmates, parents, sister, and long-term companion, Mary Austin. Mercury reportedly visited his daughter frequently and presented her with 17 volumes of comprehensive personal journals, which she concealed.
A 48-year-old lady, referred to as B, who is employed as a medical practitioner in Europe, has disclosed the contents to rock biographer Lesley-Ann Jones for the book. The book, as reported by the Daily Mail, includes a handwritten note from Mercury’s daughter, who wishes to remain anonymous, stating: “Freddie Mercury was and is my father.”
“We maintained a profoundly affectionate relationship from my birth until the last 15 years of his life.”
“He revered me and was committed to me.”The conditions surrounding my birth may appear, by conventional standards, atypical and even shocking.
“This should not be unexpected.” It never diminished his dedication to love and care for me. He valued me as a prized asset.
Her existence is said to be recognized solely by Mercury’s inner circle. The singer commenced writing the journals on June 20, 1976, upon discovering the pregnancy, two days subsequent to Queen’s release of their single, “You’re My Best Friend,” from the 1975 album “A Night at the Opera.”
He documented his youth in Zanzibar, where he was born Farrokh Bulsara to Parsi-Indian parents on 5 September 1946, and attended a British-style boarding school in India. The account also elucidates how the family was compelled to escape Zanzibar after the 1964 revolution before establishing residence in Middlesex, north-west London.
He composed his last entry in his notebook on July 31, 1991, as his health worsened. The vocalist succumbed at the age of 45 of bronchial pneumonia induced by AIDS. In a separate letter within the book, B elucidates her rationale for disseminating Mercury’s notebooks after a span of 30 years.
“Following over thirty years of falsehoods, conjecture, and misrepresentation, it is time to allow Freddie to express himself.”
“Those cognizant of my existence have preserved his most significant secret out of fidelity to Freddie.
“The decision to disclose my identity during my midlife is solely mine.” I have not, at any time, been compelled to undertake this. “He bequeathed his collection of personal notebooks to me, his sole offspring and next of kin, containing the written account of his innermost thoughts, memories, and emotions regarding all he had encountered.”
Jones stated that she was initially contacted by B three years prior. She informed the Daily Mail: “My instinct was to question everything, but I am unequivocally certain she is not a fantasist.” No individual could have fabricated all of this. Why would she have collaborated with me for three and a half years without making any demands?
Freddie Mercury was born on the island of Zanzibar in Tanzania. His parents, Bomi and Jer Bulsara, enrolled him in a private school in India from 1955 to 1963. In 1964, he and his family traveled to England via air. He commenced his studies at the Ealing College of Art in 1966 and finished in 1969.
Mercury took over as the band’s new vocalist after Staffell quit in 1970. In February 1971, he added a new bassist named John Deacon, and he renamed the group Queen.
“Queen” was their debut album, released in 1973. However, the song “Killer Queen” from the 1974 album “Sheer Heart Attack” was their true hit. The track “Bohemian Rhapsody” from the 1975 album “A Night at The Opera” made them iconic.
