Freddie Mercury: Queen ‘s frontman died 30 years ago – Pluska.sk

He loved singing, he loved art, and he loved his friends – and he surrounded himself before all to die happy. The legendary frontman of the band Queen, a native of Zanzibar Freddie Mercury († 45), last exhaled on November 24, 1991. Tomorrow it will be exactly 30 years.

Mercury spent the last days of his life locked up in his grand London’s “One Garden Lodge” in the upscale district of Kensington. “Although he was strapped to a bed, it was our Freddie until the last minute.” he recalls the quiet but far from gloomy days of his longtime personal assistant Peter Freestone.

Freddie composed and finished songs until he could no longer work. He hid the world for years that he had AIDS, and revealed the truth less than two days before he died on Sunday, November 24, 1991. “I last saw him on Friday. In fact, he had already issued an opinion on AIDS at eight in the evening, only the newspapers did not issue it until Saturday morning. I’ve never seen him so calm. There was nothing to hide, nothing to worry about. He could have prepared for death. “ described by Freestone and added: “I sat next to him, holding his hand. We talked. He never lost his sense of humor. Then he took my hand and thanked me. “

Mercury’s company – in addition to his personal assistant – was also done by other members of his circle. They were his co-workers, but above all his family. And they didn’t leave him alone until the last minute, taking turns at his deathbed every 12 hours: Freddie’s partner and gardener Jim Hutton, ex-lover and personal chef Joe Fanelli, friend and musician Dave Clarke, chauffeur and bodyguard Terry Giddings and, of course, the singer’s life love, ex-bride Mary Austin.
