Overview

  • The biography 'Love, Freddie,' set to release in September 2025, reveals that Freddie Mercury fathered a daughter in 1976 during an affair with a close friend’s wife.
  • The daughter, referred to as 'B,' is now 48, lives in Europe, works as a medical professional, and is a mother herself, making Mercury a posthumous grandfather.
  • Mercury maintained a close relationship with his daughter, speaking to her daily while on tour and keeping a room in her mother’s home for frequent visits.
  • Before his death in 1991, Mercury entrusted 'B' with 17 volumes of personal journals, which now serve as the foundation for the biography by Lesley-Ann Jones.
  • The revelation, previously known only to Mercury’s inner circle, comes as 'B' shares her story publicly for the first time, stating her decision was made independently.
